Roland TD716

The Roland TD716 is an electronic drum kit from the V-Drums 7 Series, Roland's new flagship electronic drum set. It delivers superior sound quality, a host of practical features and extensive connectivity options. What's more, Roland is renowned for its ability to faithfully replicate acoustic instruments of the highest quality, so in addition to the supercharged sound, you're in for an authentic playing experience. The manufacturer itself has written about the new series: "The V71 series is not just the next step in the evolution of percussion, it's a drumming revolution!"

The TD716 kit contains a set of the best electronic pads Roland has ever created. Made from quality materials, the pads stand out for their strength, sleek design and, most importantly, their ability to pick up even the smallest details of your playing. You will find a total of six pads (kick, virbl, 2 toms and 2 floor toms) and a set of digital cymbals (hi-hat, ride and 2x crash). Unlike the more basic TD713 kit, the pads in this kit are larger and more closely mimic acoustic drums. For example, the 18-inch kick drum features an innovative sensor that swirls the air inside the drum to create an authentic sound similar to an acoustic bass drum. The pads are equipped with several sensitive sensors that pick up all the nuances of your drumming.

The snare drum with integrated throw-off mechanism offers a realistic playing experience, thanks to automatic recognition of different techniques such as playing the snare, rimshot and cross-stick. The low hoop and the ability to control string tension while playing add authenticity and flexibility. The tension can be easily adjusted with the rotary knob, which also activates other functions. An LED indicator, synchronized with the module, provides visual feedback during play.

The V-71 sound module is also a core part of the new series, replacing the previous TD-50X model. It offers high-quality sound samples of all kinds of drum kits and percussion instruments that have been recorded in world-class professional studios. What's more, the range of sounds can be constantly expanded thanks to Roland Cloud storage, which you get a limited-time membership to when you buy the TD716 drum kit - just connect with WiFi and choose from a wealth of sound extensions and instrument packs. To make matters worse, with a Roland Cloud membership you also get access to DW Soundworks software and with it a host of other iconic sounds and useful effects to fine-tune your drum kit to your liking.

The Roland TD716 drum kit is a great choice for anyone looking for electronic drums with the best pads and Roland's latest sound engine, offering a wide variety of sounds and endless customisation possibilities. This kit is simply synonymous with quality and flexibility.
