Roland TD-50 Nocturne Limited-Edition V-Drums Kit

An advanced, purpose-built hardware rack from Randall May

Fabricated out of tempered aircraft aluminum alloy, the Randall May MAATS AIRlift Rack is optimally lightweight without sacrificing strength and stability, with a range of innovative technology features to make it perfect for an electronic drum set. It starts with the separate mounts for each drum, isolating the vibrations between them and creating a real suspension feel. The patented AIRlift air suspension system features telescoping tubes that effortlessly glide up and down, enabling instant set up and positioning of the electronic drums, cymbals and controller mount while also ensuring they will not fall vertically. The Pivot-Rail system provides even further adjustment by pivoting the rails in either direction (to and from), allowing the player to precisely adjust the proximity of the instruments. With the patented MAY Stadium Hardware tripod system, a single leg can adjust independently of the other two legs to ensure stable, secure support of the rack and instruments, regardless of the playing surface. Ergonomic wing bolts provide even greater torque values with less effort during set up. For the player, all these features amount to simple, effortless and precise adjustment in any space.

A vintage-style finish with a dark, modern edge

The pads each feature real drum shells with matte black finish and oyster-shell red stripes, mixing throwback style with a striking, modern color scheme. More than ever before, this special-edition V-Drums set allows the drummer to keep all the benefits of an elite e-kit without sacrificing the imposing look of an acoustic drum set on stage. Plus, thanks to the large diameters and individual suspension mounts, the mesh trigger pads respond with the weight and rebound of real full-size drums. A custom kick drum head adds to the iconic look of this amazing instrument, giving a nod to acoustic drum heritage while forging into the future with the most innovative technology available today. Everything else you expect from the flagship Roland TD-50 series

Built on the foundation of the industry-leading TD-50 module with Prismatic Sound Modeling, the TD-50 Nocturne kit comes equipped with digital snare and ride pads that feature multi-element sensor systems and high-speed digital communication with the module, plus top-line tom, crash and hi-hat pads. This model also comes with the 22″ kick drum in matching Nocturne finish, offering a real bass drum look and feel that responds to your preferred kick pedal with realistic bounce. All of these pads are controlled through the advanced TD-50 module, with 100 kits and over 400 instruments, plus artist-tuned kits and plenty of room for custom user sounds. Every drum pad can be individually adjusted with a full range of effects, meaning you can match every kit to your own exact preferences. And thanks to the eight individual faders on the console, you can make those adjustments on the fly and keep the focus where it belongs—on the music.
