Roland TD-1 series electronic drum kit

What playing on your Roland TD-1 series looks like

Every hit on your pads lands on a lane. The notes come down in time with the recording — this is Enter Sandman by Metallica.

Beatfall — the notes fall to the line, each drum on its own lane, every hit judged on time, early or late.
Or read the notation — the same part written out, with a playhead you play to.

How to connect your Roland TD-1 series to your computer

  1. Plug in the Roland TD-1 series module's USB port to your Mac or PC, and switch the kit on.
  2. Open DRUMY in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Opera, and allow MIDI when the browser asks.
  3. Hit a pad — its lane lights up. Kick, snare, hi-hat, toms and cymbals are mapped already.
  4. A pad in the wrong lane? Open Setup drums and hit it to give it the right drum.

Roland TD-1 series with DRUMY: questions

Does the Roland TD-1 series work with DRUMY?

Yes. The Roland TD-1 series sends MIDI over USB, which DRUMY reads straight away in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Opera on a Mac or PC — nothing to install.

Which cable do I need for the Roland TD-1 series?

The USB cable that connects the module to a computer (it carries MIDI). Some cables only charge — if nothing happens, try another.

Why can't I hear my Roland TD-1 series and the song together?

DRUMY plays the song from the computer; your kit makes its own sound in the module. Put both in one pair of headphones or with a cable into the module's Aux In.

My Roland TD-1 series pads land on the wrong drum. How do I fix it?

Open Setup drums in DRUMY and hit the pad: it takes the drum you choose. Rim and cross-stick hits can be set to the snare if your snare has one zone.
