Drummers, get ready to elevate your performance with the latest additions to the Roland V-Drums family: the VAD716, TD716, and TD713. Whether you're looking for the feel of an acoustic kit or the versatility of electronic pads, these kits bring you the best of both worlds. With the new V71 sound module, realistic playability, and unmatched connectivity, these new models are designed for drummers of all levels.

The new Roland V71 sound module brings several advancements compared to the previous Roland TD-50X sound module, offering improved features and greater flexibility for drummers.

  • Sound Quality: The V71 offers enhanced multi-sampled audio with Roland's most advanced sound engine for greater acoustic realism and expression, surpassing the TD-50X's capabilities.
  • Roland Cloud Connectivity: The V71 integrates WiFi connectivity for direct access to Roland Cloud, where drummers can download sound expansion packs and kits, as well as access to DW Soundworks VST software. The TD-50X lacks this built-in wireless cloud access.
  • User Interface: The V71 features a larger, 4.3-inch color display, making navigation and editing more intuitive than the TD-50X's interface.
  • Connectivity Options: Both modules offer professional connectivity, but the V71 offers enhanced options with multi-channel USB audio, Bluetooth audio/MIDI, and 10 assignable balanced outputs, making it a more versatile choice for live and studio settings.
