See more about the flagship Roland TD-30KV V-Drums Kit: http://www.roland.co.uk/products/td-30kv/ In this exclusive video interview Topper Headon talks about how the sound and feel of the Roland TD-30KV V-Drums inspired him and got him back into playing. “It’s just incredible,” he says “I come down in the morning, I put the kettle on, and ten minutes later, I’ve got the headphones on and I’m playing away on the drums. It just encourages me to play. It’s reawakened a lot of playing in me, y’know?”
