What are the differences between Roland TD30K and TD30KV v-drums?

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

A comparison table of the individual components for you:

Hi Hat	VH-11 12"	VH-13-MG (metallic gray) 12"
Crash Left	CY-12C 2 trig	CY-14C-MG (metallic gray) 2 trig
Crash Right	CY-13R 3 trig	CY-14C-MG (metallic gray) 2 trig
Ride	CY-15R 3 trig	CY-15R-MG (metallic gray) 3 trig

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