Used Roland instruments and music gear typically sell for $40 to $1,130 (about £30 to £840) depending on the instrument and its condition. Musical instruments are bought by people who will play them, so the listing has to answer how it plays rather than how it looks. Action, electronics and whether the neck is straight matter more than the finish, and a photograph down the neck says more than a dozen glamour shots.

Sizes, tunings and what is included on Roland instruments and music gear
On a Roland electronic drum kit the sound module carries most of the value while the pads carry most of the wear, and the two are frequently sold apart. Mesh heads and rubber pads are a genuine price division within the same range rather than a detail.
- Electronic drum kits sell on the module first and then on whether the pads are mesh or rubber
- Digital pianos are priced on the key action grade, which the model number identifies directly
- Keyboards, interfaces and pedals move steadily and turn on the connections and on the power supply being included
What to check before you buy
Name the module model and say which pads are mesh. Trigger every pad and rim and report any that misfire, because a dead trigger is the fault that most often surfaces after a kit has been collected and rebuilt.
For the checks that apply to any used instruments and music gear regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used instruments and music gear.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $585 Roland instrument, a marketplace charging 20% takes $117, one charging 13.6% takes $80 and one charging 10% takes $59. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $585.
Listing your Roland instruments and music gear
- Include a short clip of it being played if you can. Nothing else you can add is as persuasive to a musician
- Photograph down the neck, the headstock, the bridge, every control and the case. Those are the shots players actually want

Questions
What is the difference between mesh and rubber drum pads?
Mesh heads are tensioned fabric and feel far closer to an acoustic drum, while rubber pads are firmer and louder in the room. Kits are built with either or both. The two command different money second-hand, so list which pads are which rather than describing the kit generically.
Can an electronic drum module be sold on its own?
Yes, and often it should be. The module holds the sounds and is the expensive part, while pads wear and get replaced. Somebody upgrading an older kit will buy a module alone. Say which trigger inputs it carries, since that decides what it can drive.
How much is used Roland instruments and music gear worth?
Roughly $40 to $1,130 depending on the item and its condition. The table above breaks it down piece by piece, and each row links to a full value guide for that item.
