V-Drums Sound And Playing Feel 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. The Series 5 uses the same top-model sound engine as the V-Drums 7 Series and offers identical expressive potential, preset kits, and simple access to the Roland Cloud with its growing collection of Instrument Expansions. With newly developed pads and the latest innovations in materials and construction, these kits deliver a premium, responsive playing experience. With three digital pads per kit — including hi-hat, snare and ride — you can explore the full spectrum of dynamics and expression.
The TD-516 is the mid-level kit in the V-Drums 5 Series. It pairs high-quality sound with great flexibility and impresses with larger dimensions, optimized playability and the option to use digital pads. The set featuring digital snare, ride and hi-hat pads plus a larger kick pad targets drummers who want an expanded playing experience without paying the top-model price. Whether you want to capture more detail in the studio or add nuance to your live setup, the TD-516 delivers comprehensive dynamic control, numerous connections and the realistic feel you expect from premium V-Drums.
