Hey Carminemw, I bought an electronic kit!

My Brother,

I ran across a deal not to pass up. A woman was selling a set of Roland TD-7's for $300 on Craigslist. Through e-mails and phone calls, I finally got over to their house near Baton Rouge. It was a doctors family and they lived in an Antebellum home on a plantation.

The son had these drums and he didn't play them anymore. She just wanted them out of the house. After playing them, I almost burned my hand reaching in my pocket to give her three one hundred dollar bills.

I took them to my studio, Amoralled them, and they look brand new and play great. They're not the mesh heads, but how could I pass this up!

Man!!! Such a deal! Great going for you! I've never been able to catch a deal like that but I'm sure glad they went to a good home. More power to ya and kick em for me!!!

When these first came on the market I traded $3,500 worth of gear for them...a stocker TD-7 w/TD-7 module. She probably said Oh,fiddle-de-dee as you were leaving with the Kit...must see "Gone with the wind" makes one wonder what people are thinking when they sell off stuff.

my first e-kit was the td7. The great thing about the kit is you can upgrade to one of the newer modules if you want and the pads are all compatible. I still have the kit with a td8 for practice and the td20 kit for playing. I think I paid $700 about 6 years ago so that is a great find. You won't lose any money on this investiment.

the Td7 is the first E-kit I ever bought, back in the mid or late 90s. That particular module actually does some things that the new ones can't- it's a great unit with some nice sounds.

Very good investment indeed. I keep 2 of the modules in the studio, they were a really good model.

It can do velocity crossfades and switches when layering 2 voices that even the top of the line V-drums don't do. I remember being very disappointed when the Td10 came out to discover they'd phased out that function. It can work wonders for snare tones.

Have fun with that thing!

My Brothers,

I played it last night for a rehearsal and the rest of the band was blown away. I'll still us my Stage Customs for live gigs, but the TD 7 might be used for smaller clubs when volume control is really important.

I really don't all the capabilities of the module. I have a manual and will start reading it shortly. I noticed that the kick and snare sounds were really prominent and the cymbals needed to come up some.

I think this can be adjusted in some way. Any suggestions?
