Meet the New Roland V-Drums 3 & 5 Series

Featuring the V31 and V51 Drum Sound Modules

Roland has long been the leader in electronic drums, known for their unbeatable feel, expressive sounds, and legendary durability. Now, the brand-new V31 and V51 modules bring fresh energy to Roland's V-Drums 3 and 5 Series kits, making it easier than ever for drummers of every level to find their perfect kit.

The V31 and V51 modules put the powerhouse sound of Roland's flagship 7 Series right at your fingertips, complete with authentic DW-sampled drums for unmatched realism. Wi-Fi connectivity makes it easy to connect to Roland Cloud, while Bluetooth audio allows you to jam with your favorite songs wirelessly. Both the new V31 and V51 have the exact same sound engine with the same pre-set kits as the flagship V71 module. The differences from the V71 module in the V31/V51 are only on the front panels and the connectivity options.

Roland V31 vs V51 Module Comparison

The V31 module is designed for simplicity and affordability while still delivering professional-grade sounds and performance. Its hands-on controls and built-in practice tools make it a great fit for beginners and hobbyists, but yet still has room to grow with x2 additional trigger inputs and x1 USB-A digital trigger inputs for Roland's pad options.

The V51, on the other hand, takes things further with expanded editing options from the front panel, Bluetooth audio/MIDI for streaming or app integration, along with x4 additional trigger inputs, and x3 USB-A digital trigger inputs for Roland's pad options.

V-Drums 3 Series Configurations (with V31 Module)

Compact, accessible, and inspiring, the 3 Series is ideal for new drummers and practice-focused players. Mesh-head pads provide an authentic acoustic feel, while the coaching tools built into the V31 module make learning fun and rewarding. With footprints designed for bedrooms or practice rooms, or for smaller gigs... but also capable of so much more.

V-Drums 5 Series Configurations (with V51 Module)

The 5 Series offers more expressive play and a more stage-ready presence. Larger mesh-head pads and advanced cymbal triggering deliver a more natural, dynamic response, while being designed with stage-ready layouts closer to acoustic kits. The 5 Series kits' full complement of digital snare, ride, and hi-hat pads offer unmatched realism and expression.

Roland V31 / V51 Kit Configurations

Both options deliver the same next-generation sound engine and DW-sampled audio found in Roland's flagship kits—so no matter which path you take, you're getting the highest quality sounds and playability Roland has ever offered at this level.
