Roland TD-17KV2

The most affordable way into the TD-17 platform.

Roland Full kit

The TD-17KV2 keeps the TD-17 sound module and 12-inch PDX-12 mesh snare but trims cost with a rubber CY-5 hi-hat plus FD-9 controller pedal and a single crash cymbal. It's a strong choice for players who want Roland's module quality without paying for the floating hi-hat and second crash.
