Shhhhhhhhhh

One of the main problems when it comes to practising drums at home is the noise level. It may be fun for the drummer, but not so fun for everyone around them. Complaints from neighbours and annoying the rest of the family can be common. This Roland electric kit allows you to avoid all that. With features like the beaterless kick pedal, headphone output and quiet pads, you can practice as much as you like without bothering anyone.

Typically electronic kits will have a bass drum pedal that strikes a pad in the same way a beater would hit an acoustic drum. Although much quieter than acoustic bass drums there is still a definite noise from the beater hitting the bass drum pad. The TD-1K, however, features a beater-less kick pedal which removes the striking sound, to ensure noise is kept to a minimum.

Furthermore, the TD-1K has a headphone jack output allowing you to practice away quietly without annoying those around you. Great for early morning or late night practice! The noise-reducing design of the snare, tom and cymbal pads further help to reduce volume for a playing set up that’s as quiet as you can possibly get.
