Roland V drum guide
The electronic drum sets - also called e-drums - from Roland 's V-Drum series are a true blessing. Both for those who practice at home and don't want to mess with the neighbors, as well as live drummers who want to quickly access a wide range of sounds and at the same time get along with the sound engineer, who is happy about the uncomplicated wiring .
If you look at the extensive offering, you can easily lose track. With our Roland V-Drum Guide we want to give you a little help in your purchasing decision.
The following can basically be said about all models: The more you invest in the V-Drum, the more realistic the playing feel becomes and the more extensive the functions of the drum module become - the sound-generating, technical heart of every electronic drum kit.
It should also be noted that drum stool , sticks , headphones , foot pedals and possibly hi-hat machines are not included in the standard including of the drum kits. This means you can use the components that you like best or that you may already own. For the models with the “Set Available” banner, we have already prepared complete packages for you.
For the sake of clarity, in this guides we will look at the sound modules of the individual drum sets, starting with the V-Drum flagship.

TD-50X sound module
Intended for professionals and the highest demands
TD-50K2
The TD-50 is the flagship of Roland's V-Drum series and leaves nothing to be desired. In addition to the snare and ride pad, the hi-hat pad is also digital. The powerful TD-50X sound module is bursting with technical possibilities. 14 separate trigger inputs, three digital trigger inputs, separate direct outs for monitoring and a balanced and unbalanced stereo master-output leave nothing to be desired when it comes to wiring . The over 900 sounds can be extensively edited and leveled directly as desired thanks to the integrated mixer on the top of the device.
TD-50KV2
The TD-50KV2 is particularly designed for live use and cuts a wonderful figure on any stage thanks to the deeper tom pads, the larger crash pads and especially the large kick pads .
VAD706
The VAD706 presents itself as the ultimate Fusion of V-Drum and acoustic drums: If you hide the cable well, it can hardly be distinguished visually from an acoustic drum kit, except for the cymbals. Thanks to the available high-gloss finishes in Natural, Pearl White, Ebony and Cherry, everyone will find a suitable instrument here.

TD-27 sound module
Intended for advanced drummers and live musicians with high demands and recording applications.
TD-27KV2
A highlight of the TD-27KV2 is the large, high-quality 14-inch snare pad with an authentic feel. In addition to the large snare, the large toms and the thin cymbals ensure an extremely authentic acoustic playing feel. The particular thickness lies in the TD-27 sound module with its numerous professional features. In addition to a wide range of editing options to adapt the sound to your personal taste, the TD-17 module offers separate main out and monitor stereo outputs, four additional trigger connections to expand the drum set and three digital trigger inputs. These enable the connection of digital pads that are more precise and sensitive in response and therefore more realistic in feel. With the integrated 28-channel USB interface , the TD-27 can be connected directly to the computer and recorded in high quality.
VAD504 and VAD507
For fans of the traditional drum look, there is also the TD-27 in combination with the look of classic wooden shells. Either as VAD503 with one tom and one crash pad, or as VAD506 with two tom and two crash pads. The digital snare and ride pads are of course also included in both models.

TD-17 sound module
Intended for advanced players who not only want to practice at home, but also appreciate a more realistic playing feel at small gigs.
TD-17KV2
The highlight of the TD-17KV2 is clearly the TD-17 sound module with the sound engine of the flagship TD-50. This offers more professional connection options, such as a stereo and a midi output as well as two additional trigger inputs for additional pads. Particularly noteworthy here is the SD card slot, with which your own sounds and samples can be loaded into the module and edited as desired and integrated into kits.
TD-17KVX2
The TD-17KVX2 offers an even more realistic playing experience. Here you will find larger and higher quality cymbals pads as well as an additional crash-cymbals pad and a hi-hat pad for use with a hi-hat machine.
In addition, the TD-17 series recently received some new features in version 2. Newly developed thin cymbals deliver a high-end experience that is amazingly close to acoustic drumming. And thanks to Roland Cloud compatibility, a variety of new kits and effects as well as additional sounds are waiting to be explored - just download them!
VAD307
The VAD307 combines the technology of the TD-17KVX2 with the look of an acoustic drum kit - best of both worlds! The VAD307 is a more compact kit within the VAD series. The flat shell save space and weight, but thanks to the wooden material, playing feels immediately familiar.

TD-07 sound module
Intended for e-drum newbies who value more extensive editing options.
TD-07DMK
The TD-07DMK combines a compact setup, from the rack to the pads, with the sophisticated TD-07 module. This allows you to edit, adjust and add effects to every single sound from the 50 drum kits. In addition to the well-known coach and metronome function , it also has a bluetooth interfaces. This can be used to connect a smartphone, tablet or computer in no time and allows you to play along to your favorite songs, backing tracks or similar.
TD-07KV
The TD-07KV is considered the flagship of the TD-07 series. Compared to the TD-07DMK, the kickpad is not mounted on the rack , but rather an independent component with a more realistic playing feel. Furthermore, the two cymbals pads are larger.
VAD-103
If, in addition to the playing feel, you also want the optics to be as close as possible to the acoustic drum set, the VAD-103 is recommended. This is equipped similarly to the TD-07KVX, but instead of pads there are specially equipped wooden shells, as you would find on a conventional drum set.

TD-2 sound module
For children and beginners with a smaller budget who are looking for their first drum kit.
TD-02K
The TD-02 series offers the world's best entry-level electronic drumming experience at an affordable price.
The TD-02K is the most compact of the two kits. With its height-adjustable stand, it is ideal even for the youngest. It features a snare pad, three tom pads, a quiet, beater-less kick pedal, and three cymbals pads (hi-hat, crash, and ride). The TD-02 sound module contains 16 different drum kits in a variety of genres.
TD-02KV
The TD-02KV is the top model in the series. Unlike the TD-02K, it has a snare pad with a mesh head. This provides a more natural, acoustic stick feel and therefore improves the gaming experience. It also features a sturdy four-post stand that allows for a wider playing layout, similar to that of an acoustic kit. If you are looking for an affordable entry-level drum kit without having to compromise on quality and sound , choosing a kit from the TD-02 series is a no-brainer!
