Roland TD--9 Drum Sound Modules Supercharge New Roland V Drum Sets at Guitar Center

Westlake Village, CA (PRWEB) July 18, 2008 -- Music equipment retailer, Guitar Center, highlights Roland's TD-9S and TD-9SX electronic drum sets from the V-Tour series that feature the Roland TD-9 drum sound module. Debuted earlier in the year at NAMM 2008, both drum sets are now in stock at Guitar Center along with more Roland V Drum favorites like V-Stage, V-Pro, and V-Club series and other electronic drum sets (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Complete-Sets-Drum-Sets.gc).

The Roland TD-9 Percussion Sound Module (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Roland-TD-9-Drum-Sound-Module-491253-i1398153.gc) incorporates an expanded sound engine and quick-record capabilities that enable easy sound capture. TD-9 users get 50 drum kits, 522 drum instruments, and 50 play-along songs featuring real audio instead of MIDI sequences. The USB port allows drummers to upload audio files in .wav format, backup their data, or transfer recordings to a computer for further editing. The TD-9 Drum Module is the backbone of both the Roland TD-9S and Roland TD-9SX electronic drum sets from the V-Tour series. Both V drum sets feature Roland's patented mesh drumhead technology with dual triggering on the head and rim. The heads were designed to improve the drum sets' response and acoustic realism.

The Roland TD-9S V-Tour Electronic Drum Set (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Roland-TD-9S-V-Tour-Electronic-Drum-Set-491358-i1395447.gc) is equipped with a mesh snare drum pad with rim triggering, dual triggering for the three V cymbals, and rubber dual-trigger drum pads on the three toms and kick pad. All five drumheads included in the Roland TD-9SX V-Tour Electronic Drum Set (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Roland-TD-9SX-V-Tour-Electronic-Drum-Set-104820980-i1395448.gc) also feature Roland's mesh drumhead technology. The set includes three dual-trigger cymbal pads. More details are available at Guitar Center.

How to Download Music Online without Hurting Your Wallets
Let us face it. Music lovers normally own many CDs, download music online and will not stop buying music. That is why the music industry has always been vibrant and new singers are born, and new songs are written. The trouble is music lovers have an insatiable desire for new music all the time and it can be really painful on the wallets and the credit cards if you are building a music library. Ask a teen how many songs he or she has in the collection and chances are there are at least a few hundreds and they are still downloading music online everyday. Imagine paying $1 for each piece of music they download online. Is there a way to download music online without hurting your wallet?

Rock Stars, Music Icons, Alcohol, and Drug Overdose
There is a saying that rock and roll stars live on the edge and drive in the fast lane. Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, and Michael Hutchence of INXS did just that. They were music icons who lived on the edge. Sad to say, their fame and fortune also led to their untimely deaths. What's more alarming is these stars die a few years after achieving fame. News of rock stars and other music icons dying young is alarming, because their deaths are associated with substance overdose. A recent study conducted in Liverpool John Moores University showed that 1,050 American and European artists or so-called ?icons? died earlier than average people. Of the 100 stars that died from 1956 to 2005, majority of these American ?music...
