Get the Perfect Tone

As a drummer, you'll know better than anyone how important timing is. As the backbone of any band setup, you need to be ready and good to go at a moment's notice.

With the TM-6 Pro trigger module, you can get the perfect tone you're looking for in seconds.

Preloaded with 500 new sampled sounds, you can choose from all manner of options from electronic and processed tones to acoustic drum sounds and other sound elements.

If the situation calls for some electronic sounds, you can just switch over to a fat-synth kick, vintage drum machines and SFX and use them alongside processed sounds such as compressed kicks and snares to really cut through the mix on stage.

For something more traditional, you can choose from a number of acoustic drum sounds that have been recorded at world-renowned studios like Rockfield and Real World for incredible quality.

Using sound elements you can enhance your output - add that extra edge to your snare's attach or a little more oomph to the low-end power on your kick.

Whatever you want to do, the Roland TM-6 Pro trigger module gives you that power at your fingertips.

Give Them What They Want

Using the Roland TM-6 Pro trigger module, you instantly make yourself more employable as a professional drummer.

Playing in cover bands or when you're performing with major artists, you'll often be asked to recreate signature drum sounds heard in studio recordings.

Ever reliable, the TM-6 Pro allows you to get any tone down to perfection. Using the convenient user sample feature you can import the sounds from the studio recorded track via an SD card and play them with your acoustic kit.

If the bandleader wants to change things up a bit, the TM-6 Pro has that covered too. Using the module's built-in sounds, onboard effects and mixing layered sample capabilities you can deliver a fresh new take on these famous drum tones.

Between the onboard V-Drums sounds and the huge library of samples and sound elements - you've got something for every band, and every artist that may require your services.

Switch Your Sounds with Lightning Speed

Depending on the artist, the engineer or your audience, plans have a habit of changing on stage - and fast.

Using a traditional drum kit, you'd be in trouble.

Using the TM-6 Pro you can rest easy and rely on this trigger module and its easy to use intuitive operation.

On the front panel, you'll find three Sound Modify knobs that give you extremely fast, extremely flexible editing options - all without having to go through a labyrinth of menus.

These knobs cover common parameters such as Volume, Pitch and Decay and variable +/- 2-octave pitch rate so you can easily tune it with acoustic drums.

By changing the control knob group, transient attack/release or MFX can be modified with the same three knobs.

You'll also find that in the studio, it's truer than ever that time is money and having this kind of control so readily available is going to make you extremely popular in these sorts of scenarios.
