  • Just purchased a set 3 days ago. At 57 years old, it a bucket list thing...learn to play drums. Always wanted to play drums, but always got the answer NO from parents or wife... now the ex. So now it's ME time. Can't wait to get started. Thanks for the great review.

    Miles! That was a grade A+ demo! Watching you play is always such a joy! See you at the next show man! <3
  • @jimstone6071
    I’ve had the td17 kvx for 5weeks now..and I absolutely love this kit...started playing accoustic drums in 1979..and I still have my pearl set with Zildjian cymbals.they are nice and clean setting in their road cases...this Roland td17 kvx is very sturdy and very impressive...🥁🥁👍🙏✌️
  • Forget about the TD – 17 for a minute, I want to start playing the drums more like Miles does! Damn he’s good.

  • Thank you for the informative introduction. i learned a lot on how to get the max out of my TD 17 Module.
  • @jeharo2726
    Thanks for this video! Just ordered this kit, arriving in 2 days, and this really let me know what to expect (and got me even more excited).
  • Tyvm... I have the kit & beginning a New Drummer this has cleared up so Much for me... I Can't Say "THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH".... 🤘🥁💜🌹
  • @chopzmasta07
    I think I'm really going to go for this kit. I've already got a vh-11 hihat with a stand so the pedal and the cy-5 will become extras for me. The sounds are best I've heard on a kit in that price range. It's a win
  • This is a video textbook on the module; fantastic! I like the way it's segmented for each topic. I would request a follow-up on how to tune and manipulate the module for different types, sounds and brands of cymbals, please, such as a Zildjian dark as opposed to an A. Thank you!
  • @bajram1278
    Sehr gut erklärt. Bis jetzt der beste. Good job Dude.
  • @JohnnyCortese
    Great playing, Miles! I never thought of positioning the kick pad where Miles has it positioning for a more natural feel for some players (wider stance).
  • Thank you!!! Finally a video that explains this kit module!!!! I just bought this and have hardly played it yet. I also have my acoustic drums as well. Thanks so much!
  • @amyfinlayson
    Just the intro had me hooked haha.. The sound quality
