Designed to be Quiet, Built for Feel

The VQD106 and VQD106PADS are designed to drastically reduce noise during practice sessions, making them the quietest drum kits in Roland's history. Both kits come with innovative pads and hardware that prioritize quietness without compromising feel. The honeycomb rubber mesh heads on the snare and tom pads, paired with venting technology, absorb sound while retaining the rebound and responsiveness that drummers expect from top-tier V-Drums.

Common Configuration Features:

  • Ultra-quiet noise performance - perfect for home use, reducing noise by up to 75% compared to conventional V-Drums.
  • PDQ-8S snare pad - offering an 8-inch playing surface, a 10-inch rim, and independent head/rim triggering for precision control.
  • Three PDQ-8 tom pads - delivering the right balance between noise reduction and stick feel.
  • CYQ-12 cymbal pads - for crash and ride positions, providing natural swing and the ability to mute by touch.
  • KDQ-8 kick pad - designed to support both single and double kick pedals.
  • Noise-isolating pedal bases - NEQ-K for kick and NEQ-H for hi-hat, both designed to absorb vibrations and minimize footstep noise during intense practice sessions.
