Roland VAD516 5 Pieces Digital V-Drums Kit Acoustic Design Electronic Drum Set with Amplifier
Flagship V-Drums 5 Series Kit with the Expandable V51 Module, Advanced Digital Pads, and Full-Depth Wood Shells Designed for serious drummers, the V-Drums 5 Series delivers pro-level performance for every musical need. The V51 module hits the sweet spot within the next-gen V-Drums universe, putting the flagship sound engine from the V71 in a versatile hardware platform with full digital pad support, robust I/O, and seamless integration with DW Soundworks software for computer-based drumming. And with built-in wireless connectivity, it’s easy to grow your setup with an ever-expanding range of sound expansions and other V-Drums content on Roland Cloud.
The VAD516 V-Drums Acoustic Design kit is the pinnacle of the V-Drums 5 Series, combining the immersive look, feel, and stage presence of a traditional acoustic set with Roland’s premium digital pads and advanced V-Drums features. From stage performances and studio recording to creating content at home, the VAD516 offers the expression and detail you expect from an acoustic kit, paired with the control and convenience V-Drums are famous for.
New sounds, on demand You can freely change up the sound set within the V51 module to keep your music fresh. Open the Roland Cloud Connect app on your mobile device to access a growing range of V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles via your wireless network. Then, find the sounds you want, download them directly to the module, and start drumming immediately.
Unrivaled expression Like top-tier drum sound libraries for computers, the V51 module features multi-layer sample playback and round-robin randomization for natural sound and an inspiring feel that’s second to none in electronic drumming. Our proprietary behavior modeling adds the finishing touch, refining the sound with smooth, artifact-free transitions for every articulation and over 16,000 variations in dynamic response with our digital pads.
Sample import Whether you need specific sounds for cover songs or like to add a personal touch with your own samples, the V51 has you covered. Using the module’s sample import function, it’s easy to customize your palette and build any sound you can imagine. Each pad assignment provides three layers that can include any combination of internal sounds or external samples.
Build skills The V51 is filled with onboard features to help develop new techniques and keep your playing honed between performances. There’s an advanced metronome and classics such as Time Check and Quiet Count, plus new tools like Phrase Trainer for rhythmic practice, Stroke Monitor for stick control, and Blast Beast for building accuracy and endurance. V-Drums 5 Series kits also include Drum Pass, an exclusive Roland bundle of 100 Melodics™ interactive lessons specially developed for V-Drums players.
