Roland VAD316 VAD Kit

Five-Piece V-Drums Acoustic Design Kit with the Expandable V31 Module

The V-Drums 3 Series brings you next-gen V-Drums expression and flexibility for daily practice and home recording. The V31 sound module features the same flagship-grade engine as the V71 and V51 modules in our premium kits, delivering rich, multi-sampled onboard sounds and a seamless transition to DW Soundworks software for computer-based drumming. You also get powerful tools for daily practice and jamming, updated components for enhanced playability, and built-in wireless connectivity to access an ever-expanding range of sound expansions and other V-Drums content on Roland Cloud.

With shallow-depth wood shells and a full-size kick drum, the VAD316 offers the presence, feel, and familiar layout of a traditional acoustic set—but with complete volume control. Blending premium acoustic details with the latest V-Drums tech, this attractive and expressive kit provides a high-quality experience for home sessions, project studio recording, and more.
