The Roland TD-27 is an impressively streamlined drum module filled to the rafters with life-like drums samples, powerful signal processing, and flexible connectivity ? all housed in a relatively compact and intuitive interface. Navigating the menu to audition and select kits, tweak parameters, and add custom kits to a personal library is effortless. The TD-27’s massive collection of kits offers some of the most natural-sounding samples we’ve heard at Sweetwater, due to Roland’s proprietary Prismatic Sound Modeling and PureAcoustic Ambience Technology. For practicing, performance, and recording, few modules match the sound and functionality of the Roland TD-27 drum module.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Powerful Prismatic Sound Modeling





Every onboard kit within the TD-27 is crafted to sound great without tweaks. But for times when you need a custom kit for a particular performance, Prismatic Sound Modeling ? derived from the flagship TD-50 ? has you covered. You have control over each drum shell's tone and tuning. Each cymbal's size and liveliness. You can even control virtual mic placement to dial in the perfect amount of natural ambience and life. Once you've found your sound, sweeten kick, snare, or toms with onboard FX, including rich reverb and smooth tape-like compression.





Lifelike soundstages through PureAcoustic Ambience Technology





A set of drums is only as inspiring as the room it's played in. The same goes for electronics. Fortunately, Roland's PureAcoustic Ambience Technology, found for the first time in the TD-27, creates a natural and immersive soundstage that really makes you feel like you're there. PureAcoustic tech lets you dive deep into sound tweaking, too, allowing you to adjust virtual microphone positions like a real recording studio, then balance each part of the kit with outboard-style FX processors.





Output audio and MIDI over USB





Drummers at Sweetwater love our eDrums for home recording. And with the Roland TD-27 module, you can do it all over USB ? no interface required. Deliver a whopping 28 channels of multitrack audio to your computer over a single USB cable and mix to taste. Or, simply connect the TD-27 module as a USB MIDI interface and re-track your parts with virtual instruments in your DAW. With either option, you get to enjoy recording studiophile drum tracks, even from your apartment, at any time of day.





Import .WAV samples via SD





Whether you're modeling your favorite acoustic kit or using the latest third-party libraries, Roland makes it easy to incorporate custom sounds into your V-Drums TD-27 sound module. High-capacity SDHC cards let you create an arsenal of custom libraries and call them up on your TD-27 at will.





Packed with practice features





Baked-in practice features and an adjustable metronome in the TD-27 take players from fledglings to birds of flight. Onboard Bluetooth gives the TD-27 the edge for practice. Stream music from your phone to the module wirelessly, and play along to your heart's content.
