New Roland V-Drums 3 and 5 Series

Over 25 Years of Electronic Drum Innovation

Roland V-Drums have set the standard for electronic percussion since their introduction, combining cutting-edge technology with authentic acoustic feel. Today's V-Drums feature advanced sound engines, premium multi-layer samples, natural pad response, and seamless connectivity with Roland Cloud. From hobbyists to touring professionals, V-Drums deliver the sound, feel, and reliability players demand at every level.

Two Series, Multiple Configurations

The V-Drums lineup offers options for every drummer's needs and budget. The V-Drums 3 Series delivers next-level drumming in compact, accessible configurations powered by the V31 module. The V-Drums 5 Series provides pro-level performance with the advanced V51 module and premium pad technology. Each series includes multiple kit configurations, from streamlined setups perfect for home practice to full acoustic-style kits with wooden shells ready for professional performance.

Advanced Sound Modules

At the heart of every V-Drums kit is a powerful sound module featuring Roland's flagship sound engine technology. The V31 module in the 3 Series offers redesigned algorithms for richer dynamics and VST-like tone with premium multi-layer samples from Drum Workshop. The V51 module in the 5 Series steps up with enhanced connectivity including three USB digital pad inputs for unmatched realism, expanded sound libraries, and professional features for studio and stage. Both modules provide seamless Roland Cloud integration for ever-evolving sound options.

Superior Pad Technology

V-Drums feature Roland's latest pad technology designed for natural response and authentic feel. Premium models include chrome-hoop toms with insert rims for comfort and multi-sensor design for consistent response. Digital snare and hi-hat pads on select 5 Series models provide incredibly realistic feel and articulation. Enhanced cymbal response delivers smooth, organic acoustic-like behavior across all models. From subtle ghost notes to powerful rimshots, V-Drums pads respond naturally to every dynamic nuance of your playing.

V-Drums Acoustic Design (VAD)

For players seeking the ultimate combination of acoustic aesthetics and electronic performance, V-Drums Acoustic Design models feature shallow or full-depth wooden shells paired with advanced electronic control. VAD kits deliver authentic acoustic feel and look while maintaining all the benefits of electronic drums—volume control, diverse sound options, silent practice with headphones, and direct recording capability. The VAD316 and VAD516 bring professional acoustic presence to any performance or practice space.

Roland Cloud Integration
