Roland quality is at the top of the pack when it comes to electron drum sets. This one gives you all of the benefits of the great Roland name and technology in a packaged version. This set would be great for practices where lugging the equipment around can get tedious. You would just need to buy an amp for it. I personally love Roland drums. They sound great and they’re well built.

Again, I’ve had the chance to play Roland drumsets and love them. The feel is great, the different drum types that are programmed in sound awesome. Although I haven’t had any personal experience with this set, I’m sure it’s top notch just judging by the lower end models I’ve played. Roland sets the standard in electronic drums.

I’ve had the opportunity to play Some of the electronic Roland sets and I have to say they are a blast to play. Think of playing a near perfectly tuned drumset…that’s what playing a Roland is like. They’ve been making electronic drums for a long time and are at the pinnacle of that arena.

The mesh heads on the Rolands are amazing. They actually feel good when you’re playing them. Dynamics are great and playing the set while the family is sleeping or playing in an apartment complex and not bother anyone…well that’s got to be amazing.
