The V-Drums 5 Series is crafted for ambitious drummers, delivering professional performance for any musical setting. At its core, the V51 module unites the best of the latest V-Drums generation. It shares the advanced sound engine of the flagship V71, is compatible with all Roland digital pads, features rugged, gig-ready inputs and outputs, and integrates seamlessly with DW Soundworks for computer-based drumming. Expanding your setup is effortless too, with wireless access to an ever-growing collection of sound expansions and other V-Drums content on Roland Cloud. Sitting at the top of the V-Drums 5 Series, the VAD516 V-Drums Acoustic Design kit blends the look, feel, and stage presence of a traditional acoustic set with premium Roland digital pads and innovative V-Drums technology. Whether on stage, in the studio, or at home, the VAD516 delivers the nuance and detail of an acoustic kit alongside the intuitive control and modern convenience that define the V-Drums experience.
