What are the differences between Roland TD30K and TD30KV v-drums?
Interestingly pretty much everything about these two kits are different.
In fact the only think they have in common is the TD30 Drum Module itself.
Here is a brief overview
The TD30K
- takes up less space since the stand is smaller
- is less expensive
- has smaller toms
- has black cymbals (one 2 trigger and two 3 trigger)
- has a black stand
- has smaller Hi Hat cymbals
- has a smaller bass drum
- needs a hi hat stand, bass drum pedal and throne (does not need a snare drum stand)
- ideal for studios and practices and places where space is a premium.
- has upgradability potential (i.e. you could purchase a PD-128S-BC at a later stage and use the snare drum as a fourth tom)
The TD30KV
- has stage presence with a chrome stand
- has metal gray cymbals instead of black ones.
- has the snare drum on a separate stand
- has larger floor toms
- has more sensitive pads all round
- has slightly larger cymbals (two 2 trigger and one 3 trigger)
- has a larger bass drum
- needs a snare drum stand, hi hat stand, bass drum pedal and throne
- is more expensive

For me the TD30K does the job since it is lower entry price and still delivers that the amazing drum module.
