Professional Performance With a Sleek, Modern Setup!
The V-Drums 3 series, available as both TD and VAD models, combines professional performance with a sleek, modern setup. Series 3 uses the same top-level 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 their newly developed pads and the latest innovations in materials and construction, the kits deliver a premium, responsive playing experience. With a digital pad per kit — including hi-hat, snare and ride — you can tap the full range of dynamics and expression.
With the VAD316, the renowned V-Drums Acoustic Design experience enters the V-Drums 3 series. With its shallow tom wood shells and full-size bass drum, the kit conveys the stage presence, feel and familiar layout of a classic acoustic set — but with full control over volume. In addition, the V31 sound module delivers performance on par with the series' flagship models, offers innovative coaching tools, and provides wireless connectivity for easy playing, learning and expanding your sound palette. Whether practicing at home, playing live on stage or recording in the studio, the VAD316 blends premium acoustic components with trailblazing V-Drums technology to give you the best of both worlds.

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 shine with chrome hoops and reduced hot spots, the PD-8H and PD-10H focus on a robust, elegant design. All kits also come with larger floor toms for a more natural playing feel.
Standard V-Pad Series
Durable plastic hoops with a rubber-inset rim and a sleek black finish ensure a premium, reliable playing feel in 10" and 8" sizes.
Full-Size Kick, Natural Feel, Professional Performance
The KD-18-MS is a premium 18" kick drum with a full-size wooden shell for an authentic V-Drums Acoustic Design feel. Its enlarged playing surface allows for double-pedal use and is extremely robust.
The new sensor on a standard head provides a natural response, while modern Roland trigger technology transmits every hit with the highest precision.


Hi-Hat Machine
With a sturdy steel base plate and double-braced legs, this hi-hat machine stands rock solid while the two large spikes ensure a slip-free setup. The three legs with rubber feet rotate for easy integration into any drum setup (including double-pedal configurations). The double chain drive operates silently and can be adjusted smoothly via a grippy adjustment wheel. In addition to the memo-lock, the clutch and tilt adjuster for the hi-hat cymbals are professional-grade. The low-mass tilting mechanism for the bottom cymbal uses three rubber pads to minimize contact with the cymbal and let the hi-hats’ full sonic potential come through.

Bass Drum Pedal
This double-chain-drive pedal guarantees an even, powerful beat with optimal playing comfort. Extremely high-quality construction ensures long life even under heavy use. With versatile adjustment options, the XDrum pedal can be tailored to any player and personal playing style. Spring tension and beater extension are easy to fine-tune for the perfect feel.

Drum Throne
The throne features a round, leather-look seat and rests on three non-slip rubber feet. It adjusts conveniently 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 withstand heavy use and provide uncompromising stability.

Snare Drum Stand
The XDrum Snare Stand Stage is ideal for beginner drummers. It offers top-level workmanship and professional features that are rare at this price. A grippy knurled nut lets you adjust the basket 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 promote optimal shell resonance. A fine, sturdy ratchet joint allows accurate tilt adjustment of the snare drum.

Comfortable Stereo Headphones
The KDJ-1000 delivers a full, balanced sound with solid bass and clear highs. It offers plenty of volume while maintaining precise stereo imaging. Thanks to the low impedance, the KDJ-1000 can reach extreme volume levels even from weak sources. The softly padded, wide headband is length-adjustable. The entire headset folds for compact storage. For mixing work, the ear cups rotate 180° to allow classic single-ear monitoring. The thick, soft padding of the circumaural cups also provides good external noise isolation.

Sticks
The XDrum sticks offer comfortable playability and excellent tonal properties at an incredible price. Their grippy surface prevents annoying slipping, while the extra-hard wood ensures long life.

Method Book
The "Beginner" method from drumfreaks.de, in the Kirstein edition, covers the essential basics of drumming. It starts with correct stick grip and works up to your first proper grooves. Extensive videos guide you on your path to becoming a drummer.
