This cutting-edge electronic drum kit combines the authentic look and feel of acoustic drums with the advanced technology of Roland's V-Drums, offering an unparalleled drumming experience for both professionals and enthusiasts.
At the heart of the VAD716 is the revolutionary V71 V-Drums Sound Module. This module redefines electronic drumming with its all-new multi-sampled onboard sound library, developed in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW). It features enhanced workflow capabilities and supports wireless sound expansion through the Roland Cloud Connect mobile app. The V71 module is the core of the V-Drums 7 Series, delivering a universe of creative expression with ultra-powerful DSP and expanded waveform memory. Its vivid color display, tactile controls, and ergonomic panel layout ensure smooth and fast preset changes, sound edits, and mix adjustments.
The V71 module's sound library is crafted from a hand-picked selection of the world's finest drum sets, recorded and mixed at 32-bit/192 kHz resolution in professional studios globally. This collaboration with DW ensures seamless integration with DW Soundworks software, offering unrivaled expression with multi-layer sample playback and round-robin randomization for natural sound. Roland's proprietary behavior modeling further refines the sound, providing over 16,000 variations in dynamic response with digital pads.
For those seeking customization, the V71 module allows for sound set expansion via the Roland Cloud Connect app, offering access to a growing range of V-Drums Instrument Expansions and Kit Packs. The module includes six months of Roland Cloud Ultimate membership, granting access to a vast array of content. Enhanced V-Edit tools enable deep personalization of drum and cymbal sounds, while studio-grade processing tools allow for detailed sound shaping with EQs, transient processors, and convolution-based ambience tools.
The VAD716 kit includes the PD-14DSX Digital Snare Pad, featuring advanced sensors and a traditional throw-off lever for a natural playing experience. The snare pad offers ultra-detailed positional sensing and over 16,000 velocity variations, with seamless transitions between headshots, rimshots, and cross-stick playing. The VH-14D Hi-Hat and CY-16R-T Cymbal Pad further enhance the expressive capabilities of the kit, capturing subtle playing nuances with astonishing detail.
The CY-18DR Cymbal Ride, with its advanced multi-sensor triggering, works in harmony with the V71 module to deliver the ultimate in expressive drumming. The VAD716 kit's professional connectivity options include balanced outputs, high-speed trigger inputs, and a USB audio/MIDI interface, ensuring seamless integration with music software and hardware.
In summary, the Roland VAD716 V-Drums Acoustic Design Electronic Drum Kit in Gloss Ebony offers a perfect blend of acoustic aesthetics and electronic innovation, making it an ideal choice for drummers seeking the ultimate in performance and versatility.
