The Roland TD-27 V-Drums module is a powerful piece of equipment that offers high-quality acoustic drum sounds. Using Rolands Prismatic Sound Modelling technology, the module produces exceptional drum sounds that closely resemble real acoustic instruments. It also offers advanced digital trigger inputs that are compatible with Roland digital pads, providing unmatched expression and response. With the new PureAcoustic Ambience Technology, drummers can easily create inspiring drumming spaces at the touch of a button. In addition, the module includes a wide selection of electronic sounds from Rolands sonic history, allowing for versatility in modern styles. Drummers can also load and layer their own samples with internal drums, enabling them to create unique sounds that are one-of-a-kind.

The TD-27 module features cutting-edge digital pad technology, which enhances the realism of the V-Drums experience. It has three digital trigger inputs that work seamlessly with advanced Roland digital pads such as the PD-140DS snare and CY-18DR ride cymbal. This combination delivers the most natural expression of drumming, with lightning-fast processing and multiple sensors that detect and translate every nuance of your playing. Even if you’re not ready for digital pads, the TD-27 also offers analog trigger inputs for standard snare and ride pads.
Similar to an acoustic kit, the TD-27 module allows drummers to customize their sounds. With hands-on controls and deep editing options, you can swap head types, adjust tuning, apply damping, tweak snare wire tension, change the kick beater, and more. The module also enables you to load your own WAV samples via an SD card, allowing you to incorporate your unique sounds or layer them with the internal sounds.
The new PureAcoustic Ambience Technology in the TD-27 module optimizes each drum kit, creating a natural and immersive sound field when playing. You can further customize the sound by adjusting the mic position on each drum kit and utilizing the overhead mic simulator. Additionally, the module offers advanced onboard multi-effects and mixing capabilities, including transient parametric EQs, compressors, reverbs, delays, and more.
The TD-27 module provides ample connectivity options for both stage and studio use. It features stereo outputs for the overall drum sound and two direct outputs for sending kick, snare, and other sounds to an audio console for independent mixing. The built-in USB audio interface simplifies computer music production by providing up to 28 discrete audio channels over a single cable. MIDI is also supported via USB and dedicated I/O, allowing you to sync with other MIDI devices and trigger sounds in computer software.
In addition to the three digital trigger inputs, the TD-27 module has a multi-pin analog trigger jack for easy connection with any standard V-Drums pad arrangement. It comes with an included cable and also provides a dedicated analog trigger input for a second crash cymbal pad. Furthermore, there are three auxiliary trigger inputs for customizing your setup with Roland kick, tom, and cymbal pads or trigger pads like the BT-1.
The TD-27 module offers Bluetooth connectivity, allowing drummers to wirelessly stream audio from a phone or laptop. This feature is perfect for immersive jam sessions with headphones or playing along with favorite music tracks or lesson videos from YouTube. The module also includes built-in practice functions to help develop drumming skills and track progress. The advanced metronome assists in improving your sense of timing. Moreover, you can record your playing and listen back to identify areas for improvement.
