V-Drums Sound and Feel in a Space-Saving Format!
The V-Drums 5 Series, available as both TD and VAD models, pairs professional performance with a sleek, modern setup. Series 5 uses the same top-model 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 its newly developed pads and the latest innovations in materials and construction, the kits deliver a high-quality, responsive playing experience. With three digital pads per kit - including hi-hat, snare and ride - you can exploit the full range of dynamics and expression.
The VAD516 V-Drums Acoustic Design Kit is the flagship of the V-Drums 5 Series. It combines the look, feel and stage presence of a full acoustic set with the modern capabilities of the V51 module. With its full-size wooden shells, high-quality digital pads and studio-ready connections, it's aimed at ambitious drummers who value a traditional aesthetic without giving up the advantages of a modern electronic drum kit. Whether for live performance, studio recording or playing at home - the VAD516 offers the expressive power and level of detail of an acoustic kit, paired with the familiar control and pioneering comfort of the V-Drums range.

Full-Size Kick, Natural Playing Feel, Professional Performance
The KD-20-MS is a high-quality 20" kick drum with a full-size wooden shell for an authentic V-Drums Acoustic Design playing experience. Its enlarged playing surface allows the use of double pedals and is extremely robust.
The new sensor on a standard head provides a natural response, while modern Roland trigger technology transmits each hit with the highest precision.

Active Monitor Speaker
The KAM-12 not only delivers the expected brilliant sound; the modern version even features a Bluetooth receiver. The speaker can be used standing, lying or mounted on a stand, and you can link many of these active monitors together. All controls and connectors are conveniently reachable 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 delivers a maximum sound pressure level of a solid 120 dB SPL. Enough power to provide a clear, distortion-free monitor signal even with an acoustic drum kit. The 3-band equalizer lets you shape the sound to your taste.

Hi-Hat Stand
Thanks to the sturdy steel base plate and the double-braced legs this hi-hat stand is rock solid, while the two large spikes ensure a non-slip position. The three legs with rubber feet can be rotated to allow easy integration into any drum setup (including with a double bass pedal). The double chain drive runs virtually silently and its tension can be infinitely adjusted via a grippy wheel. In addition to the memo-lock the clutch and the angle 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 thus bring out the hi-hats' full sonic potential.

Kick Pedal
This double-chain pedal guarantees a consistent, powerful beat with optimal playing comfort. Extremely high-quality workmanship ensures long service life even under years of heavy use. Thanks to the versatile adjustment options the XDrum foot pedal can be adapted to any player and individual playing style. The tension of the individual springs and the beater throw can be set optimally.

Drum Throne
The throne features a round leather-look seat and stands on three non-slip rubber feet. It can be easily height-adjusted via the robust precision spindle. With the removable seat and folding legs this seat is quick and easy to transport. Its double-braced legs are built to withstand tough demands and provide uncompromisingly secure support.

Snare Drum Stand
The XDrum Snare Stand Stage is ideal for drumming beginners. It offers top workmanship and professional features that are often missing at this price level. Using a grippy knurled nut the basket can be adjusted for drums from 12" to 14". This makes the stand suitable for side and piccolo snares as well as tom-toms. The support surfaces are slightly raised to ensure minimal contact with the hoop and thus optimal drum resonance. Via a fine and stable ratchet joint the snare drum can be adjusted perfectly in angle.

Comfortable Stereo Headphones
The KDJ-1000 delivers a full, balanced sound with rich bass and clear highs. It offers serious volume while still providing clean and precise stereo imaging. Thanks to the low impedance the KDJ-1000 can achieve extreme loudness even from weak outputs. Of course the softly padded, wide headband is length-adjustable. The entire headphone folds for space-saving storage. For work at the mixing desk the comfortable ear cups can also swivel 180° to allow classic single-ear monitoring. The thick, soft padding of the over-ear cups also provides good external noise isolation.

Drum Method Book
The "Beginner" method from drumfreaks.de, in the Kirstein edition, covers the essential basics of drumming. It starts with the correct stick grip and ends with the first proper grooves. Comprehensive videos accompany you on the way to becoming a drummer.

Sticks
The XDrum sticks offer comfortable playability and excellent tonal properties 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. Thanks to the high-quality shielding the cables are protected from interference even over long runs, and the footstep noises common in cheap cables are absent in Pronomic cables.
