Roland VAD316 V-Drums Acoustic Design Kit

Electronic Drum Kit with Acoustic Design

The VAD316 V-Drums Acoustic Design brings traditional acoustic feel to the V-Drums 3 series. The kit features shallow wooden tom shells and a full-size kick drum, providing stage presence and familiar setup like an acoustic kit, while maintaining full control over volume.

Sound Module and Drum Feel

At the center is the V31 module, powered by the same engine as the flagship V71. It provides advanced sounds, coaching tools, and wireless connectivity. The 12-inch PDA120LS snare has tension-adjustable mesh and cross stick functionality. The full-size KD-18 kick includes a drumhead-mounted sensor system, expanded trigger area, and adjustable lift mechanism. PDA tom pads (two 10-inch, one 12-inch) feature dual-zone sensing and shallow wooden shells.

Cymbals and Hi-hat

The VH-10 hi-hat mounts on a traditional hi-hat stand and provides open/close control. CY-12C-T and CY-14R-T crash pads offer natural response with surface and edge triggering and damping. The CY-16R-T ride provides bow, edge, and bell triggering with damping.

Stand and Connectivity

The kit includes three DCS-30 combination stands for hi-hat, kick, and snare mounting. Hi-hat stand, pedal, and drum throne sold separately. The kit supports advanced digital pads and integrates with music software via USB-C and MIDI. Bluetooth allows music and backing track playback, and wireless control via smartphone app provides access to module functions.

Practice and Sound Library

The kit includes coach mode with phrase training and stroke analysis. It comes with Melodics content for V-Drums, and sound libraries can be expanded via Roland Cloud.
