Roland PM-01 Personal Monitor Review
I just got one of these to go with my V-Drums Lite. I was apprehensive at first being only 15w, but a friend had the same setup and said he was happy with it. So, I took the chance. It is 15w. No doubt. However, I’m in a bedroom sized home office and it’s fine. Not as loud as I would have liked, but it’s loud enough to hear the drums clearly. Sound is crisp, highs sound clear. For the price (I got used at 0), and design to go with the Lite system, there’s no equal. The next up would be the Roland PM-10 and that’s 0+.
Bass is good, but will not rattle windows, or pound your chest, it’s a 15w 4″ midrange speaker in a band pass enclosure. But it’s good enough for practice sessions. For the price to move up, I think I’ll be happy with this until I’m a in a band and performing on stage in front of an audience, ie- not any time soon

Roland HD-1 V-Drums Lite Electronic Drums Review
This kit is near-to-perfect for someone who finds their acoustic kit has become too loud, too big, too difficult to transport, and too time-consuming to set up.
If you are looking for something that is small with a small footprint that is light, portable, and that sounds good, this kit will fill the bill. I haven’t been able to put the sticks down (geeze, now I know why I got away from playing for 15 years - it’s as additive as crack cocaine).
The other reviews voice criticism and they are justified, depending on what you are looking for. Unlike the higher-end kits, you cannot select individual drums. The drums for any of the pre-programed ten kits, and the volume of those individual drums are “global,” meaning you can turn the whole kit up or down, but not adjust the tune or volume of one drum vs. another.
The voices are sampled and really sound incredible, but if I could “have it my way,” I would have the snare be a bit more sensitive (you can set the sensitivity, but again, it’s “global” for all the drums in the kit), and would make the snare and cymbal louder in relation to the toms and kick.
The peddle system is ingenious, and works well. It took a little while to find a the sweet spot to allow me to do “Banham doubles,” and it still is not as easy to do as it is with a true peddle, but it’s close.
The other thing that I have seen on the more expensive kits that the HD1 does not have is the ability to be able to choke out cymbals with your hand.
If these thing are important to you, you might want to look at a more expensive kit. But those kits are bigger, heavier, and more time-consuming to set up. If the reason you wanted is primarily for portability (the greatest kit in the world that you won’t take to friends’ house to jam with will do you no good, right?) - or what this thing is, for how tiny it is, and for what it weighs (32 lbs), you can’t beat it with a stick - well, actually you can, and I have been, a lot.
More information: Kit 1 has a nice acoustic sound, like a kit in an intimate setting. Kit 1A is a “jazz kit,” the snare sound of which I like the best. The crash is a bit more splashy, and the ride sounds like it has rivets. The hat is really crisp and clean. The second tom becomes a cross-stick on a rim. Kit 2 sounds just like drums in a big empty hall. Kit 2A sounds the same as 2, but the hat peddle becomes a second kick (open hat) and the second tom become a cowbell. Kit 3 is a snare, crash, ride, hat, and three “island drums.” Kit 3A is a snare, crash, ride, hat, and three percussion instruments of some kind or another. Forget about Kits 4 & 5 and their Alternates, unless you like Devo and dance music from the 80s.

Most of the HD-1’s components are mounted on one stand for easy setup and transport, and for a clean look. Just take it out of the box and play.

It is so nice to enjoy drumming again. - R. READ - Arizona
I really wanted a 100% mesh head Roland v drum kit, but 00.00 was out of my price range for what I do. I use Kit sounds 1 and 2 only. They are great through head phones, and my project studio monitors. I get a jazz set, and a rock set. My old acoustic drums only had one jazz set sound, lol. The midi out is great for triggering my VSTI drum sounds for my software sequencer (Acid Pro). I am an old Drum Corps drummer. I have played with jazz fusion combo’s and hard core troops. I had truly lost the love for playing drums (burnt out), until I decided to dump the acoustic drums, and get this quality Roland HD-1 V drum lite. They take up very little room, and won’t piss off the Neighbors. The rack is solid, but does tend to shake a bit because of the attached pedals. I switched to 7A sticks for this kit, because the mesh head snare is very sensitive, and the cymbal triggers respond best in my opinion to a smaller stick.
Would I use this kit for a Gig? Probably not because of the 1/8″ stereo mini plugs, but I have no problem using this as a practice set, or in the project studio. Great product for the price in my opinion, it is so nice to enjoy drumming again.
Good, not great. - dlb703 - Virginia
I’ve had my HD-1 for 48 hours, and I’ve probably spent 8 to 10 hours playing them. First the good: I’m short on space and the HD-1 is very compact. You can get some decent sounds out of the snare drum. Rim shots are easy and sound OK. The bad: Very limited adjustment options for drum heads and cymbals. You can’t do much to change the angles or tilt, and for me not being able to tilt the snare drum is a big annoyance. The tom-tom heads are not tunable and although they sound decent enough there’s no life in the heads. The cymbals have near zero volume. You can’t adjust the volume separately, it’s a global volume setting. There are ten different kits. A couple of them are just goofy and I’ll never use them. Of the others, there are some snare sounds I like, and some tom sounds I like, but they’re not in the same kit, and you can’t change the makeup of the kits. The control panel is mounted right in front, so if you’re trying to drum while wearing headphones, guess where the wire is? Yep, it’s going to get tangled in your drumsticks. I’m going to have to rig an extension somehow. Basically, this is a decent practice pad set.
INCREIBLEMENTE MARAVILLOSA!! - Gustavo Guerrero - Bogotá, Colombia
Es de lo mejor que he comprado en los últimos tiempos, sonido maravilloso, fiel, algunos ruidos bizarros, y la calidad y comodidad de los productos Roland, no se como pense en comprar una Medeli DD502! La recomiendo ampliamente, excelente para grabación, mi homestudio ahora esta completo!
