Get the most authentic acoustic drumming experience possible with this electronic kit.

The Roland VAD716 V-Drums Acoustic Design 716 Drum Set Gloss Cherry offers a new and dynamic experience in electronic drums. With a revamped sound module, advanced pads, and enhanced creative tools, these are the world's top electronic drums. You can play in two ways - with the onboard sound library developed in partnership with Drum Workshop (DW), or with DW Soundworks software on your computer. Additionally, built-in wireless connectivity and Roland Cloud Connect on your phone allow you to easily switch up your sound, with a variety of V-Drums Instrument Expansions and Kit Packs available. The V-Drums 7 Series provides an immersive drumming experience, combining exceptional sound and playability with complete control.

The Steps Taken to Record the Samples

The V71 sound library was carefully captured and mixed by industry-leading engineers in professional studios worldwide at a high resolution of 32-bit/192 kHz. A significant portion of the collection was created in partnership with DW in Oxnard, California, guaranteeing a seamless integration between the hardware module and the DW Soundworks software instrument.

All New, Accessible Sounds

While previous V-Drums models have extensive editing options, their built-in sound libraries are limited and non-expandable. With the V71 module, this issue is resolved as it allows for easy customization of the sound set. Simply open the Roland Cloud Connect app on your mobile device to access a growing selection of V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles through your wireless network. From there, you can download your desired sounds directly to the module and begin playing immediately.

Drummer's Perspective Sound Options

As a dedicated drummer, your sound exists within two separate worlds. One is the close, personal sound of the drums when played, while the other is the produced sound for recordings and live performances, often enhanced with EQs, compressors, and ambience. Certain V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles have been carefully mixed for both drummer and producer positions, giving you the flexibility to customize your playing experience with ease.

Sound Expression

Experience top-quality drum sounds with the V71, which utilizes multi-layer sample playback and round-robin randomization to create a natural and authentic sound without the "machine-gun" effect. With Roland's proprietary behavior modeling, the sound is further enhanced with smooth and seamless transitions, offering over 16,000 variations in dynamic response through digital pads. Combined with the latest sensor and trigger technologies, the V-Drums 7 Series provides a truly inspiring and acoustic-like playing experience that sets the standard for electronic drumming.

The Convenience of Roland Reliability

Experience hassle-free setup and professional sound quality with the V71 module from Roland's VAD716 V-Drums Acoustic Design 716 Drum Set. This rugged command center boasts a quick startup, informative color display, and convenient controls for an efficient and reliable drumming experience. Plus, its multiple direct outs for individual drums ensure no-compromise audio connectivity.

Compatible with DW Soundworks

The Roland VAD716 V-Drums Acoustic Design 716 Drum Set Gloss Cherry has the capability to trigger sounds in DW Soundworks, a groundbreaking drum software instrument available as a standalone application or DAW plug-in, with a Roland Ultimate Cloud Membership. With expansions that align with V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles, you can easily make the switch to software-based drumming while maintaining the same sound and response as the module.
