Roland V-Drums 5 Series

Professional Performance for Serious Players

The V-Drums 5 Series represents Roland's commitment to delivering professional-grade electronic drums in multiple configurations. Available in three models—TD513, TD516, and VAD516—each kit provides the tools serious drummers need to perform, practice, and record at the highest level. From the streamlined TD513 to the flagship VAD516 with full acoustic aesthetics, the 5 Series delivers authentic drumming experiences without compromise.

V51 Sound Module - Premium Digital Sound Engine

Every V-Drums 5 Series kit features the powerful V51 sound module at its core. This professional sound engine delivers premium multi-layer samples from Drum Workshop and provides stunning acoustic-like response with expanded sound libraries. The V51 offers enhanced connectivity including three USB digital pad inputs for unmatched realism and expression, plus seamless integration with Roland Cloud for ever-growing sound options. With support for expansion packs and custom kit creation, the V51 ensures your sound stays fresh and professional.

Enhanced Pad Technology

The 5 Series features Roland's latest pad technology designed for maximum playability and natural response. Digital snare and hi-hats on select models provide incredibly realistic feel and response, while larger kick pads and upgraded cymbals deliver enhanced playing surface and premium feel. Chrome-hoop toms with insert rims offer comfort and multi-sensor design for consistent response across the entire playing surface. Every pad is engineered to respond naturally to your playing dynamics, from subtle ghost notes to powerful rim shots.
