This is a combination of the highly acclaimed Roland TD8 brain which, alone, sells for £400+ these days and a pro-quality set of Jobeky 10 and 8 inch mesh head drums and cymbals, making it on par - if not better - than the original TD8 kit.

It has sat in our music room as a practice kit and was bought principally for my son to play with headphones and for me to practice on occasionally - I'm a semi-pro drummer and wanted a high quality kit that would give me realistic levels of response etc. It has never been gigged or moved around, apart from being boxed up in a recent house move.

We tend just to use acoustic drums now and we no longer have room for so many kits, so it's time for these electronic drums to find a new home. They would make a perfect Christmas present for anyone from a beginner to a serious user who needs to keep noise levels down with headphones.

I won't list all of the TD8 features - you can find them here:

The TD8 was the second from top of the line Roland brain and I've seen them used in many household name bands on long tours - it's a serious piece of kit.

The UK hand built Jobeky kit has 2 x 8 inch "Classic" mesh head drums for toms 1 & 2 and a pair of their 10 inch "Chrome" drums for snare and tom 3 - bigger and more usable sizes you didn't get as standard with the TD8 kit. The snare drum is the dual sensor version for rim shots and better sensitivity.

The kick-drum assembly also uses an 8 inch Classic mesh head drum. The 3 cymbals are standard Jobeky cymbals without choke function - you could upgrade these, as I once thought of doing, but actually these work just fine unless you want to use a kit for serious live performance work.

The latest chrome drums can be found here:

Jobeky are a very friendly company and the backup behind their products is outstanding.

The kit also comes with a Jobeky hi-hat pedal, a Tama kick-drum pedal, all cables, Roland mains adapter, complete metal rack with clamps and a drum key - everything you need to be up and running.

Condition-wise, I'd say it was excellent. There are a few tiny scratches where the bottom braces and clamps meet the tubes - nothing you'd notice with the kit set up and the tiniest little nick on the brain - but too small to show on the photo. I'm noting this only as I'm very picky. The condition reflects a very carefully looked after kit used lightly in a tidy and fastidiously cleaned house!

The Jobeky setup sheet is included. The TD8 manual can be downloaded freely at:

Do please contact me with any questions. There is no reserve and the starting price, I think, is fantastic value - the same functionality in a new Roland kit would cost in excess of £1500. Delivery is charged at cost - ParcelForce 48. Insurance can be added at £4 for up to £500 compensation and £8 for up to £1000 compensation. The kit will be very carefully individually wrapped in one or two packing boxes.

Payment by Paypal, cleared cheque or bank transfer (preferred) please.

Happy Bidding!

Questions and answers about this item


	Q: Hi, Are spare parts easy to find (mesh), does the feel of the mesh as good as roland's? are they as quiet when playing with head phones?
