V-Drums Sound and Playability in a Space-Saving Format!
The V-Drums 5 series, available as both TD and VAD models, combines professional performance with a sleek, modern setup. Series 5 uses the same top-tier sound engine as the V-Drums 7 series and offers identical expressive capabilities, preset kits and easy access to the Roland Cloud with its ever-growing collection of instrument expansions. With newly developed pads and the latest innovations in materials and construction, the kits deliver a premium, responsive playing experience. With three digital pad inputs per kit—including hi-hat, snare and ride—you can tap into the full range of dynamics and expression.
The TD-516 is the mid-level kit in the V-Drums 5 series. It blends high-quality sound with great flexibility and impresses with larger dimensions, optimized playability and the option to use digital pads. The set of digital snare, ride and hi-hat pads plus a larger kick pad targets drummers who want an expanded playing feel without paying top-model prices. Whether you want to capture more detail in the studio or add more nuance to your live setup, the TD-516 delivers extensive dynamic control, numerous connections and the realistic playing experience you expect from premium V-Drums.

New Pads, New Configurations
Two new pad series deliver improved playability and a fresh V-Drums look. While the premium PD-10P and PD-12P models impress with chrome-plated hoops and reduced hot spots, the PD-8H and PD-10H offer a robust, refined design. All kits now feature larger floor toms for a more natural playing feel.
Premium V-Pad Series
Chrome die-cast hoops with inset rubber rims and a new shell design create a fresh look and reduced hot spots in the 12" and 10" sizes.

Active Monitor
The KAM-12 not only delivers the familiar brilliant sound; the modern version even features a Bluetooth receiver. The speaker can be used standing, lying down or mounted on a stand, and multiple active boxes can be linked. All controls and connections are conveniently accessible from the front—musicians will appreciate that. The built-in amplifier powers the 12" speaker and the 3" tweeter with a total of 120 watts. That's enough for a maximum sound pressure level of a solid 120 dB SPL—plenty of power to deliver a clear, undistorted monitor signal even for an acoustic drum kit. The 3-band equalizer lets you fine-tune the sound to your taste.

Hi-Hat Stand
Thanks to the sturdy steel baseplate and double-braced legs, this hi-hat stand sits rock-solid while the two large spikes ensure non-slip footing. The three legs with rubber feet rotate to allow easy integration into any drum setup (including double bass pedals). The double chain drive operates silently and the tension can be infinitely adjusted via a grippy knob. Alongside the memo-lock, the clutch and tilt adjuster for the hi-hat cymbals are professional-grade. The low-mass tilter for the bottom cymbal uses three rubber pads to minimize contact and bring out the hi-hats' full sonic potential.

Bass Drum Pedal
This bass drum pedal with double chain drive guarantees a consistent, powerful beat with optimal playing comfort. Exceptionally high-quality construction ensures long service life even under years of heavy use. With versatile adjustment options the XDrum pedal adapts to any player and individual playing style. Spring tension and beater throw can be fine-tuned for ideal response.

Drum Throne
The throne features a round, leather-look seat and stands on three non-slip rubber feet. It adjusts in height via a robust precision spindle. With a removable seat top and foldable legs this seat is quick and easy to transport. Its double-braced legs also withstand heavy demands and provide uncompromisingly stable support.

Snare Drum Stand
The XDrum Snare Stand Stage is ideal for drumming beginners. It offers top-notch build quality and professional features rarely found at this price. Using a grippy knurled nut, the basket adjusts for drums from 12" to 14", making it suitable for side and piccolo snares as well as toms. The support surfaces are slightly raised to minimize contact with the hoop and allow optimal drum vibration. A fine, stable ratchet joint lets you set the snare's angle precisely.

Comfortable Stereo Headphones
The KDJ-1000 delivers full, balanced sound with rich bass and clear highs. It offers plenty of volume while maintaining clean, precise stereo imaging. Thanks to the low impedance the KDJ-1000 can reach extreme volume levels even from sources with low output. The soft-padded, wide headband is adjustable in length. The headphones fold flat for space-saving storage. For mixing work the ear cups can rotate 180° to allow classic single-ear monitoring. The thick, soft padding on the circumaural cups also provides good external noise isolation.

Instruction
The "Beginner" course from drumfreaks.de, in the Kirstein edition, covers the essential foundations of drumming. It starts with correct stick grip and leads up to the first solid grooves. Detailed videos guide you step-by-step on your way to becoming a drummer.

Sticks
XDrum sticks provide comfortable playability and excellent tonal characteristics at an incredible price. The grippy surface prevents annoying slipping while the extra-hard wood ensures long durability.

Instrument Cable
Pronomic instrument cables are ideal for guitarists, bassists and keyboard players. The flexible cables feature screw-on metal jack plugs that allow access to the solder joints or can be replaced individually if needed. High-quality shielding protects the cables from interference over long runs and prevents the footstep noise commonly found in cheaper cables.
