Description

The VAD316 brings the acclaimed V-Drums Acoustic Design experience to the V-Drums 3 Series. With shallow-depth wood tom shells and a full-size kick drum, this kit offers the stage presence, feel, and familiar layout of a traditional acoustic set—but with complete volume control. In addition, the V31 sound module provides flagship-grade performance, advanced coaching tools, and wireless connectivity for seamless playing, learning, and sound expansion. Whether practicing at home, performing on stage, or recording in the studio, the VAD316 blends premium acoustic details with next-gen V-Drums tech, giving you the best of all worlds. 

V31 Module 

The V31 sound module is the core component of the V-Drums 3 Series, delivering the power and expression of Roland’s flagship V71 engine in a compact, accessible format. It combines next-generation response and multi-layered drum and cymbal instruments into a streamlined interface, giving drummers a premium sound experience without the bulk or complexity. And with onboard practice tools, Bluetooth audio, Wi-Fi, and smartphone app integration, you can practice smarter, perform with confidence, and grow your sound options with V-Drums Instrument Expansions and Kit Packs on Roland Cloud.

The PD-10H 10-inch tom pad brings flagship-inspired feel and response to compact V-Drums setups. Designed for expressive and dynamic playing, it features a new rubber rim derived from Roland’s high-end pads, plus an offset piezo sensor layout that minimizes hot spots and provides accurate sensing across head and rim zones. Whether you’re working on technique or digging in during a performance, the PD-10H delivers a satisfying, consistent feel that brings you closer to the acoustic experience—but without the in-room volume.

  • Roland 10-inch V-Pad with a tension-adjustable mesh head for customizable stick response
  • Durable, quiet, and highly responsive—great for both home practice and performance
  • New rubber rim design inspired by flagship V-Drums 7 Series pads
  • Rugged hoop for solid performance
  • Dual-zone triggering for independent head and rim sounds
  • Low-profile design is ideal for compact setups and hybrid acoustic/electronic rigs
  • Compatible with a wide range of V-Drums sound modules

The MDS-Compact 2 is a space-saving drum stand designed for the V-Drums 3 Series, and it also works great with standard setups using two or three cymbals. Ball-clamp mounts for snare and cymbal pads allow for precise, flexible angle adjustments, making it easy to dial in your preferred playing positions. The stand also supports the use of a traditional hi-hat stand with a Roland V-Hi-Hat, and its wider integrated H-frame provides enhanced stability for larger tom pad configurations and more space for positioning double-kick pedal setups.

Drums

Drums is the main JustDrums category for core acoustic and electronic instruments, including kits, shell packs, snare drums, bass drums, toms and electronic drum kits. Compare the complete configuration, sizes, shell or pad construction, heads, hardware, module, triggers and connections according to the product type. A shell pack may need cymbals, stands, pedals and a throne, while an electronic kit may need a monitor or headphones. Use the specific child category and product specification to confirm what is included before comparing prices or sound.

Electronic Drum Kits

Electronic drum kits use pads, triggers and a sound module to produce playable drum voices with lower acoustic volume than a conventional kit. Compare pad surfaces, mesh or rubber construction, playing zones, module sounds, coaching or sequencing features, outputs, USB or MIDI, rack hardware, kick and hi-hat arrangements and included pedals. Some kits are designed for quiet practice, while others support recording, live triggering or expansion. Check module compatibility, monitoring, power, floor space and whether the advertised bundle includes every stand, pedal and cable shown.
