ROLAND VAD706 Gloss Ebony V-Drums

The VAD706 drum kit adds a whole new dimension to electronic drumming by combining the cutting-edge technology of Roland V-Drums with the craftsmanship of high-end acoustic drums. These V-Drums Acoustic Design kits include digital snare, ride cymbals and hi-hats that bring incredibly detailed playability to three of the most expressive instruments in the kit. The next generation TD-50X module offers unsurpassed sound, feel and response coupled with in-depth editing tools that allow you to fully customize your sound, and professional connectivity to handle any situation. Full-size wooden cabinets and advanced pickup systems are used to ensure the right acoustic impression. And with four stunning finishes, you can choose the look that perfectly suits your personal style and taste.

Let yourself be enchanted by a first-class playing experience

Not only does the VAD706 sound and feel amazing, it's also beautiful to look at. With full-size bodies, a two-piece hi-hat, large cymbals, double-reinforced chrome stands, and four gorgeous finishes, this top-of-the-line set boasts a charisma you'll want to spend all day at and show everyone. Choose from Gloss Natural, Gloss Cherry or Gloss Ebony finishes that offer the artisan look of stained maple veneer and gloss lacquer. Or express your style with the striking Pearl White finish and its bold, unmissable look.

Prismatic Sound Modeling: feel the difference for yourself

The TD-50X's Prismatic Sound Modeling technology can breathe life into electronic drums like no other system, enriching multi-layered samples recorded in world-class studios with refined modeling techniques honed over more than two decades. The module can create an unlimited range of sonic hues with every stroke - the initial onset of sound is followed by a complex blend of rich harmonic tones, just like playing acoustic drums and cymbals. With the TD-50X, drumming knows no boundaries, from subtle overtones and detailed articulation to the loudest and most intense beats.

Digital snare, ride and hi-hat

Our groundbreaking digital pad technology represents a quantum leap in the evolution of electronic percussion, giving your music an unsurpassed depth of dimension. The precision pickup assemblies on snare, ride cymbal and hi-hat work in perfect harmony with the TD-50X module, capturing every nuance in stunning resolution and detail. Thanks to lightning-fast detection, you can play naturally using all your acoustic techniques, so you can dampen the ride cymbal with the touch of a finger, or seamlessly switch between playing bellows, rimshots and cross stick techniques on the snare. Playing the electronic hi-hat is perfected by the groundbreaking VH-14D, which offers touch sensitivity, tone variation and a solution for closed and open position playing never before available.

The natural feel of acoustic drums

The VAD706 kit features Roland's renowned multi-layered mesh blanks, which, in a version with three layers for the snare and floor tom and two layers for the rack tom, provide a natural resistance and bounce that you can tailor to your individual style. The strike of the hammer on a specially designed bass drum is wonderfully satisfying, thanks to the physical resistance of the air that gives the same feel as an acoustic kick drum. The naturalness is inherent in the toms as well, whose natural wood bodies and traditional mounts give an impression that is indistinguishable from acoustic ones.

Immediate playing pleasure

Imagine acoustic drums that are voiced, processed and mixed in a world-class studio - that's exactly what you get when you load a preset on the TD-50X. Created in collaboration with top drummers and recording experts, these inspiring kits let you play any style from jazz to the hardest metal at the touch of a button.

Build your own drum kit

If you want to go beyond presets, the TD-50X lets you customize your sound at every level - just like an acoustic kit. You can quickly change the tuning or damping, or dive deep and build a kit from the ground up, choosing the ideal body depth, bellows type, cymbal characteristics and more. You can then place this rig in whatever space you want, using PureAcoustic Ambience technology, where you have complete control over room type, echo and more.

Give your sound professional precision

Once you've fine-tuned the details of your rig, you can bring it to perfection with an impressive array of professional studio tools. Adjust microphone settings for different elements of your rig and bring sounds into play with equalizers, compressors and other types of processing. Then just turn to a wide selection of high-quality reverbs and multi-effects to add spaciousness and colour.

Powerful connections for performance and studio

The rear panel is packed with options for connectivity, so the TD-50X is always ready to tackle the practical demands of any situation. Stereo XLR master outputs and eight TRS direct outputs allow you to send any instrument to your audio console via a balanced connection. For computer music production, you can stream up to 32 simultaneous channels of digital audio via USB for the best quality audio transfer. The model also supports MIDI interface via USB and traditional five-pin connectors.

Expand your options

Using the TD-50 module's four additional analog trigger inputs, you can easily expand the VAD706 kit as your needs grow. Upgrade your setup with more cymbal pads, another floor tom or a small trigger pad like the Roland BT-1. Or add another kick drum for a doubly impressive stage presence.

Your personal teaching assistant

The TD-50X is packed with features to help you develop your technique and turn practicing into a fun experience. Improve your sense of rhythm with the metronome and Coach mode exercises, or just jam with music playing from your smartphone or laptop. The built-in recorder lets you record and review your game whenever you want, plus you can easily export and share the audio (with or without accompanying music). You can take your practice even further with the free Melodics™ computer app, which offers 40 lessons and, through a paid membership, unlimited access when you're ready.
