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-model sound engine as the V-Drums 7 series and offers identical expressive possibilities, 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 pads per kit—including hi-hat, snare and ride—you can access the full spectrum of dynamics and expression.
The VAD516 V-Drums Acoustic Design Kit is the flagship model of the V-Drums 5 series. It combines the look, playability and stage presence of a full-size acoustic set with the modern capabilities of the V51 module. With its full-size wooden shells, premium digital pads and studio-compatible 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 delivers the power and detail of an acoustic kit, paired with the familiar control and pioneering comfort of the V-Drums line.

Full-Size Kick, Natural Playability, Professional Performance
The KD-20-MS is a premium 20" kick drum with a full-size wooden shell for an authentic V-Drums Acoustic Design playing feel. Its enlarged striking surface allows the use of double pedals and is extremely robust.
