Features

A True Acoustic-Style Drum Set

With its 22-inch bass drum, four toms, and sturdy hardware, the VAD716 replicates the ergonomics of a traditional acoustic drum set. You’ll immediately feel right at home while enjoying the benefits of an electronic kit, including reduced volume thanks to Roland’s mesh heads.

The new V71 module for exceptional realism

The V71 module faithfully reproduces the nuances and dynamics of an acoustic drum set. Its color display makes it easy to create and customize kits, while built-in Wi-Fi provides access to Roland Cloud, allowing you to regularly expand your sound library and enjoy DW Soundworks content.

Digital pads with remarkable precision

The PD-14DSX digital snare drum accurately detects rimshots, cross-sticks, ghost notes, and all the subtleties of your playing. The VH-14D hi-hat offers natural control over the opening, while the CY-18DR digital ride cymbal perfectly distinguishes between strikes on the bell, the body, or the edge of the cymbal for exceptionally convincing realism.

A drum kit designed for the studio and the stage

The VAD716 integrates easily into professional environments thanks to its multi-channel USB audio interface, which allows you to record each element separately in your production software. The ten assignable direct outputs also simplify the work of sound engineers during live performances.

Comprehensive connectivity for all your productions

Bluetooth Audio/MIDI makes it easy to work with backing tracks, educational apps, or virtual instruments—all without additional cables. The built-in Wi-Fi and dedicated software editor let you easily manage your kits and customize your setup.

A drum kit that adapts to any style

Thanks to its exceptionally detailed sound engine and excellent dynamics, the VAD716 meets the demands of rock, pop, jazz, funk, metal, and contemporary music alike. It accurately reproduces everything from the most subtle playing styles to the most powerful hits.
