Experience the performance power of V-drumming

Over 500 high-quality sounds are built into this impressive sound module. With the ability customize snare tuning, muffling, cymbal size, sustain, and more, you can create your own personalized drum kits. Another great feature of the TD-9 is its ability to incorporate audio data in its 50 backing songs for realistic and inspiring playback. Enjoy practicing with backing songs sourced from first-class musicians. The Quick Rec/Play function is a great way to gauge to your performance; a single button enables recording and playback of playing during minus-one accompaniment.

Easy-to-use interface with Scope feature

With its clean, friendly panel layout, the TD-9 is a breeze to use at home and onstage. In addition to its illuminated buttons, the stylish front panel contains a large and easily readable LCD that displays sound, tempo, and other vital information. When the Scope function is activated, the LCD graphically shows the timing of your performance. With both visual and aural reference, you can more effectively cultivate and maintain the rudimentary skills essential to drumming.
