Roland VAD103 V-Drums Acoustic Design 4pc Kit MONITOR KIT

The latest generation of V-Drums
In 1997, Roland pioneered electronic drum kits as we know them today and ever since, V-Drums continue to lead the way when it comes to innovation. Often imitated but never bettered, V-Drums set the standard by which all other electronic drum sets are measured, and VAD103 upholds that tradition with unbeatable durability, precision sensing and sound, class-leading pad designs and behavior modeling technology developed over decades of R&D. As part of the acclaimed V-Drums Acoustic Design series, the electronic drumming experience goes deeper with real wood shells and acoustic drum presence. With VAD103 you get a truly exciting and unique drumming experience, not just a simulation.

Drum tones for every genre, song and band
At the heart of VAD103 is the TD-07 sound module, offering 25 ready-to-play drum kits. Recorded by pro drummers in high-end studios and brought to life by Roland's advanced behavior modeling technology, each kit sounds and reacts just like acoustic drums. With kits that span acoustic, electronic and percussion sounds, the TD-07 module puts it all at your fingertips for when you just want to get drumming. And if you want to go deeper, you can dream up and create up to 25 of your own kits.

Unbeatable feel from Roland's revolutionary mesh heads
Back in the mid-90s, Roland engineers wanted to move on from the solid rubber pads of the day to offer something that looked and felt more like a traditional drumhead. Roland double-ply mesh heads were launched in 1997, quickly becoming the standard for electronic drums – but not all mesh heads are created equal. While other electronic drum kits use a single layer of mesh, Roland's mesh pads use two layers of advanced custom material that are aligned using a precise method, plus tension adjustability for accurate rebound, better durability and lower noise. And despite countless imitators, it's still the choice of drummers who demand the best.

Onboard coach mode for sharpening your skills
Whether you're taking drum lessons or teaching yourself via online tutorials, you'll need a way to stay focused and keep improving. VAD103's coach mode tests your timing and accuracy with a series of fun and engaging challenges that go from easy to hard. Highlighting what you're doing right and where you need to tighten up, it's like having a drum coach to guide you whenever you pick up the sticks.

Record your drumming in seconds
The TD-07 module connects directly to your computer via a single USB cable for easy stereo audio recording of your performances, whether you want to listen back and assess your progress or even share a drum performance with the band. Better still, MIDI can also be sent down the same single USB cable.
