V-Drums Acoustic Design
VAD506 and VAD503

Combining the eye-catching energy of live drums with the supercharged performance potential of the TD-27 drum module, the V-Drums Acoustic Design series looks, sounds, and feels like an acoustic kit, from the black sparkle finish and shining hardware, to the feel of the drumheads...

These are the game-changing electronic drums you’ve been waiting for.

Innovative Digital Drums

Digital V-Drums change the way electronic kits sound and feel.

Digital triggering senses every aspect of your performance from subtle ghost notes, to crashing cymbal hits, capturing the subtle nuances that make your performance shine.

The revolutionary 14” PD-140DS snare drum - Using a multi-element electro-static sensor system, this digital snare captures every nuance of your performance.

The 3-ply head creates the same realistic rebound as acoustic snares, while the powerful sensors inside detect every ghost note, rim shot, cross stick, and brush stroke.

When paired with the TD-27 sound engine, you get a snare that looks, feels, and sounds the way you expect.

The modern CY-18DR ride cymbal - a realistic, responsive, and versatile ride cymbal pad.

With a thinner, lighter design, you’ll get the familiar feel of “pushing through” the cymbal, with the realistic swing and rebound on the stick for fast response.

Play with dynamics such as cymbal chokes and finger muting, bell hits, edge crashing, and more, all with realistic sound, decay, and feel.

Hardwood shells for unmatched playing feel

Made from high-quality 6.4mm premium wood, the VAD series drum shells are stunning to look at, and even better to play.

Each drum creates the realistic air resistance response you get from an acoustic kit.

Bury the kick beater and push through those snare rolls with authentic energy.

Controlled volume, without compromise

The VAD506 and VAD503 shells come with noise-reducing mesh heads, made in partnership with Remo.

By reducing sound by as much as 85%, the VAD series is ideal for rehearsal, shows on cramped stages, or just for practising your set at home.

Unlike acoustic drumheads, mesh heads withstand years of playing before needing replacement too.

Low maintenance, double-braced hardware

When you’re on the road, you need to know your gear will keep up with you.

The VAD series withstands even the hardest rigours of touring and constant live shows, thanks to secure and stable stands, solid tom holders, and double-braced chrome hardware.

The TD-27 module:
the brain driving your performance

The sleek TD-27 drum module inherits the same Prismatic Sound Modelling engine found in the flagship TD-50, creating real-deal sound with the game-changing performance features you can only find in Roland V-Drums.

An authentic sound for the set list you play

Dive into classic sounds, from deep booming drums for wedding ballads, to bouncy pop kits, to shuffling jazz kits for slow dances, and everything in between.

Craft your sound with over 700 sounds, 55 preset kits and 45 blank user kits, then create a setlist for easy switching from song-to-song.

Need more sounds? Add an SD card with your samples to expand even further.

Dial into drum perfection with the Pure Acoustic Ambience engine

No more dead drum sounds, poor room reflections, or unpleasant frequencies.

The TD-27 simulates realistic muffling, tuning, drum size, simulated mic placement, EQ, and effects to adapt your sound to the venue you’re playing in, and all accessible from the easily navigated interface.

Drive the performance with the drums at the centre

With a master output, two direct outputs, headphone connection, and a game-changing low-latency 28-channel USB audio output, the TD-27 acts as the centrepiece for the band.

Send your drums to the sound desk, share the click with the rest of the band, or play your backing tracks to the front of house speakers to fill out the performance.
