The Roland VAD316 V-Drums brings the acclaimed V-Drums Acoustic Design experience to the 3 Series. With shallow-depth wood tom shells and a full-size kick drum, this kit delivers the feel, look, and stage presence of a traditional acoustic set—but with complete volume control. The powerful V31 sound module provides advanced coaching tools, wireless connectivity, and extensive sound expansion options. Whether practicing at home, performing on stage, or recording in the studio, the VAD316 combines premium acoustic details with next-gen V-Drums technology for a versatile, expressive drumming experience.
The V31 module brings flagship-level sound and performance to the V-Drums 3 Series, powered by the same advanced engine found in the V71. Developed in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW), its onboard sound library captures the feel, depth, and realism of the world’s finest drum kits, ready to play straight out of the box. Every detail has been refined for professional results, from natural dynamics and punchy transients to the rich tone and nuance found in premium acoustic drums.
Easily expand your sound palette using Roland Cloud Connect and the free companion app. Browse an ever-growing selection of V-Drums Instrument Expansions and Kit Packs, download them wirelessly to the module, and start drumming right away. Each title delivers studio-quality drum tones that keep your performances fresh and your creativity flowing.
The V-Drums 3 Series includes an enhanced Coach Mode that turns every session into a productive practice experience. Refine your timing, dynamics, and endurance with interactive exercises like Time Check, Quiet Count, and the all-new Phrase Trainer. Track your progress with Stroke Monitor and push your limits with Blast Beat mode, designed to build speed and precision. Each kit also comes with Drum Pass—a special Roland bundle featuring 100 Melodics™ interactive lessons tailored exclusively for V-Drums players.
With multi-layer sample playback, round-robin randomization, and Roland’s proprietary behavior modeling, the V31 responds like a true acoustic kit. Every hit feels organic and expressive, with smooth transitions between articulations and no digital artifacts—making it one of the most natural-playing electronic drum modules in its class.
Each V-Drums 3 Series kit includes six months of Roland Cloud Ultimate membership. Access V-Drums Instrument Expansions, Kit Packs, DW Soundworks, and more. Continue your membership after the trial or purchase your favorite titles outright with Lifetime Keys—ensuring your module stays current and customizable.
Connect the V31 to your computer and record up to 30 channels of high-resolution audio directly to your DAW over a single USB cable. The built-in USB audio/MIDI interface also provides seamless communication with DW Soundworks, the upcoming V31 Editor, and other production software.
Every V-Drums 3 Series setup is backed by rugged, road-ready hardware. The VAD316 is built for drummers who demand both authenticity and durability. Its full-size acoustic-style shells mount to sturdy double-braced chrome stands, delivering the look, feel, and presence of an acoustic kit with the convenience of V-Drums technology.
