If you're experiencing no sound with your Roland Drums, start by checking all connections and trying different cables. Ensure the volume on your TD module is raised; for TD-15, check the side panel [VOLUME] knob. Also, verify that your amp or audio system is properly connected and the volume is at an audible level.
Why doesn't my computer recognize my Roland TD-11?
If your computer isn't recognizing your Roland TD Drums, first check the connection to your computer. Ensure you've installed the USB driver on your computer. Also, make sure you are using a computer and cable that supports USB 2.0 Hi-Speed.
What to do if Roland TD-11 Drums USB flash drive is not recognized?
If your Roland Drums aren't recognizing the USB flash drive, ensure you're using a Roland USB flash drive, as correct operation isn't guaranteed with other products. You can also reformat the USB flash drive using the TD. Finally, confirm that you're using MP3/WAV files that the TD supports.
