Roland HD1-V lite brand new electronic drum kit

Roland HD1-V lite

Roland have arguably been making the best electronic drum sets for many years now. The HD-1, the latest addition to the Roland range, truly is the first of it’s kind. Dubbed the V-Drum Lite, this kit has been specifically designed to be simple, compact and stylish whilst still maintaining the high quality performance of the rest of the V-Drum range. Specially designed cushioned tom pads and kick pedal radically reduce noise making this kit ideal for home use. It’s also incredibly easy to use, making it perfect for schools and teaching. The HD-1 features 10 drum kit variations, a variable speed metronome, headphone socket and auxiliary input, allowing you to plug in your iPod and jam to your favourite tunes.

Mesh head snare

Truly a first on an electronic kit in this price range, the HD-1 features a mesh head on the snare drum. This allows for a much more realistic feel than standard rubber pads, great for practising rolls and other snare techniques. This mesh head is replaceable and can be “tuned”, allowing the user to adjust the head tension to their liking without affecting the sound. 

Sturdy construction

The HD-1 is by far the simplest electronic kit on the market to set up. Within 10 minutes of unpacking you’ll be set up and bashing away! Unlike many other electronic kits in this price range, the construction is of Roland’s usual high quality, ensuring that the HD-1 won’t wear out when subjected to heavy use. Roland are so confident in their build quality, they even give you a 3 year warranty.
