Well.I used to have one, so here's a little ancient history.In 1992, Roland introduced the TDE-7K 'Compact Drum System' based around the TD-7 Percussion Sound Module. The drum set was unique at the time due the ability to trigger sounds from both the head and rim, a cymbal choke function, and a fully functioning hi-hat. All 8 pads were dual-trigger s (gum rubber), and also included a hi-hat control pedal, and a kick trigger.The featured:. 512 editable sounds with layering (based on 256 waveforms). 14 voice polyphony/ 4 part multi-timbral. 32 Patches (kits).

Built in Reverb, Delay, Chorus and Flanging. Built in metronome and a sequencer w/ 48 patterns (24 preset, 24 user)In 1997, when the original V-Pro Set (TD-10 w/ mesh head pads) was introduced, Roland upgraded the TD-7 kit by including a combination of 4 PD-7 and 4 larger pads, and an upgraded TD-7T 'Turbo' module. The TD-7T featured new patches, new sequence patterns and improved sensitivity. A 'Turbo chip' was also available as installable option on the original TD-7 module.

The kit and the module were probably discontinued around 1999.Short story very long.decent sounds for its time (similar to late '80s drum machines /modules like the R-8/R-8M), it triggered well, and had some cool tap sequences. The original TDE-7K sold for around two grand brand new, so I can't imagine the module selling for much more than $200 U.S.????Check ebay! Hope this helps you. I have a TD-7, not Turbo. I recall some people talking about how they actually preferred the original to the Turbo but you'd have to UTFSE to find out.The TD-7 has a couple of nice kits right out of the box.

Sure, nothing DFHS quality but nonetheless, pretty good.The biggest problem with either flavor of the TD-7 will be it's total user unfriendliness. Having the manual only marginally helps. Ugh, what an awful interface. But if you do learn it, well, clearly you've spent endless hours trying to get every once of edrumming goodness out of it.

I've got one of each TD7 module, and they're not bad. The interface is pretty tricky, can be a pain for sure, but the module has a few features I wish they hadn't abandoned when V's came out, like layering. On the TD7 you could layer 2 different sounds and it had several cross-fade styles to choose from, or you could just stack them right on top of each other. That was a really cool feature. These days you have to program tap-sequences of one note to try to emulate that effect, and it's nowhere near as flexible as on the TD7.the $200 point seems to be about right for used models. That would probably be top dollar.It had a really huge adapter on the power cable, that thing can be a pain too.It's almost half as big as the module.

Right on thanks guys. I just started thinking about it because there is one on ebay now. But I'm not in a big hurry. I am just suffering from what is probably a common ailment among td-3 purchasers. I'll call it the DISHBATD6 (Damn I Should Have Bought A TD6) syndrome. Maybe I just need a better amp but I don't like the tom sounds in the td-3.

They sound good in headphones but amplified, they don't have any definition.EDIT: Ok I said that at 6:05 AM on April 5 and an Ebay auction ended and approximately 8:40 the same day with me as the winning bidder on a TD-6. At the rate I'm going, I should have the whole TD line up by the end of summer.Is there a support group for G.A.Soholics?
