Premium sound.
The V31 module is part of a unified ecosystem with the V71 and V51, providing full cross-compatibility across V-Drums modules for the first time. Drum with the same core sound library created for the V-Drums 7 Series. And stay inspired with Roland Cloud content for V-Drums, including multi-layered V-Drums Instrument Expansions based on premium DW drum sets.

Flagship audio quality.
In developing the V71 module for the acclaimed V-Drums 7 Series, we built an entirely new onboard sound library in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW), bringing unmatched realism and creative command to V-Drums. The V31 module is equipped with the same internal engine as the V71, giving you the identical sounds and expansion path in a streamlined interface. Crafted from a hand-picked selection of the world’s finest drum sets, these record-ready sounds deliver the detail, punch, and sonic quality found in the most expensive computer collections.

New sounds, on demand.
Just like the V71, you can freely change up the sound set within the V31 module to keep your music fresh. Open the Roland Cloud Connect app on your mobile device to access a growing range of V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles via your wireless network. Then, find the sounds you want, download them directly to the module, and start drumming immediately.

Choose your perspective.
Drum sounds exist in two distinct universes. One is the intimate, up-close sound of the drums when you’re behind the kit. The second is the produced sound you hear in recordings and live concerts, which is typically processed with EQs, compressors, and ambience. Some V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles have been specially mixed for both the drummer and producer positions, letting you create the playing experience you want at the touch of a button.

Unrivaled expression.
Like top-tier drum sound libraries for computers, the V31 module features multi-layer sample playback and round-robin randomization for natural sound and an inspiring feel that’s second to none in electronic drumming. Our proprietary behavior modeling adds the finishing touch, refining the sound with smooth, artifact-free transitions for every articulation.

Two ways to play.
Practice, jam, and learn with your standalone setup, or you can simply transition to computer-based drumming and recording with the same familiar sounds.

Ready-to-play hardware.
With its ergonomic panel layout and streamlined interface, the V31 is simple for anyone to operate. Quickly call up kits, adjust sounds on the fly, and lose yourself with a full slate of onboard skill-developing tools. When you’re done for the day, use the module’s convenient tray to keep your sticks ready for the next playing session.

Computer-based drumming.
Every V-Drums 3 Series kit can trigger sounds in DW Soundworks,* a revolutionary drum software instrument that runs as a standalone computer application or a DAW plug-in. Many DW Soundworks expansions mirror V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles, allowing you to transition to software-based drumming with the identical sound and response as the module. *Included with Roland Cloud Ultimate membership.
