Our take on the ROLAND TD-27 Roland drum sound module

The TD-27 is Roland's mid-tier V-Drums sound module, the brain behind the VAD506 and VAD503 kits. It carries Prismatic Sound Modeling from the flagship TD-50, so kits respond to playing dynamics with acoustic-like resonance rather than flat samples. Three digital trigger inputs accept the PD-140DS snare and CY-18DR ride, which sense position and touch far more finely than analog pads. It sits below the TD-50X in I/O and editing depth but well above the TD-17 in sound and digital-pad support.

About the ROLAND TD-27 Roland drum sound module

The Roland TD-27 is a V-Drums sound module that uses Prismatic Sound Modeling, which combines sampling and modeling to deliver the sound and expressiveness of an acoustic drum. It is the sound source for the VAD506 and VAD503 kits and includes 55 new preset kits focused on acoustic sounds. PureAcoustic Ambience technology brings out acoustic character, and EQ, compression and transient controls are built in for shaping sound.

It supports digital pads with multi-element sensors, such as the PD-140DS and CY-18DR, through three digital trigger inputs. Practice functions are included. A Bluetooth connection lets you play audio from a smartphone or other mobile device through the TD-27.

The module works as a USB audio interface with 28 outputs and 4 inputs for multi-track recording on a PC. Two direct outs are provided for live performance and recording.

Questions and answers

Is the TD-27 worth it over the TD-17?
Yes if you want digital snare and ride support and more acoustic-sounding kits. The TD-17 is simpler and cheaper but lacks digital trigger inputs and the Prismatic modeling.
Does it work with the PD-140DS and CY-18DR?
Yes. It has three digital trigger inputs, enough for the digital snare, ride and a third digital pad. Analog pads also connect through the standard trigger inputs.
How does it compare with the TD-50X?
The TD-50X has more trigger inputs, deeper editing and more processing power. The TD-27 shares the Prismatic modeling approach in a smaller, simpler package.
Can I record with it over USB?
Yes. It sends audio and MIDI over USB to a computer, so you can record drum parts directly without an interface.
Does it have Bluetooth?
Yes. Bluetooth audio lets you stream music or a click from a phone for practice and play-along.
What comes in the box?
The module, power supply and documentation. Pads, stands and the drum kit itself are sold separately unless bought as part of a VAD kit.
