Roland Cloud TD-27 Kit Pack Greatest Funk/R&B Vol. 1

Play with the sounds behind the most influential groove-driven music from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s with Greatest Funk/R&B Tracks Vol. 1, a premium collection of drum kits and custom layered samples for the TD-27 V-Drums sound module.

This professionally curated pack features detailed reproductions of the drum sounds for five iconic songs. The module’s expansive onboard editing tools have been used to match the original recordings as closely as possible, including drum and cymbal selection, head types and tuning, overhead mic sounds, room characteristics, studio processing, and more. These drums are designed to sound “just like the record,” making you feel like you’re behind the player’s actual kit while performing live, recording, or jamming at home.

Mellow Out
Modeled on Questlove’s drum sound from the 1995 hip-hop album Do You Want More?!!!??! by The Roots. This kit is designed for playing along with the track “Mellow My Man.”

Lunar Piper
Iconic songwriter, producer, and performer Prince was backed by drummer Bobby Z. on the album Purple Rain from 1984. The powerful hybrid sound of the title track—recorded live on stage with a combination of electronic and acoustic drums—is faithfully recreated with this kit.

It’s Alright
Earth, Wind & Fire are masters of upbeat funk grooves. This kit is tuned for jamming with the track “Let’s Groove” from the band’s 1981 album Raise!

Godfather
Channel your inner “Funky Drummer” and lay it down with the kit sounds from James Brown’s classic 1970 soul track, played by the legendary Clyde Stubblefield.

Black Cats!
As drum intros go, there’s perhaps none more recognizable than Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.” This kit perfectly captures the drum sound from the track, played by the artist himself on the 1972 album Talking Book.
