Flagship V-Drums Acoustic Design with V71 Module
The Roland VAD716 is the crowning jewel of the V-Drums Acoustic Design lineup, offering the most immersive and authentic drumming experience available today. It combines the physical presence of a high-end acoustic kit—complete with full-depth wood shells and premium finishes—with the revolutionary power of the new V71 Sound Module. Designed for professional touring, world-class recording studios, and the ultimate home setup, the VAD716 looks, plays, and sounds like the acoustic kit of your dreams, with all the benefits of digital control.
Unrivaled V71 Sound Engine
Driving this flagship kit is the V71 Module, featuring an all-new sound library built in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW). It utilizes extremely high-resolution multi-sampling and Roland's Prismatic Sound Modeling to deliver unlimited polyphony and 32-channel USB audio recording. With built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, you can instantly access the growing Roland Cloud library, downloading artist kits and instrument expansions directly to the module without a computer.
The New Standard in Snare Realism
The VAD716 features the brand-new PD-14DSX Digital Snare, the most advanced electronic snare ever made. It introduces a functional throw-off lever and tension knob, allowing you to physically adjust the virtual snare wires. Tighten the knob for a crisp, articulate response, or disengage the throw-off entirely for a hollow tom sound. This hardware integration bridges the final gap between electronic and acoustic playability.
Premium Acoustic Construction
The kit is anchored by a massive KD-22 22-inch kick drum and full-depth wood toms (10", 12", and 14" floor), all wrapped in premium lacquer or wrap finishes. The tom pads feature updated sensor systems designed to eliminate hot spots and provide even velocity detection across the entire head. The cymbal array is equally impressive, featuring the VH-14D Digital Hi-Hats, CY-18DR Digital Ride, and two thin-profile V-Cymbals (16" and 14") for a complete professional configuration.
