The Ultimate V-Drums Acoustic Design Experience

When you need the glamour and presence of a full acoustic drum set on stage—but with the convenience and control of electronic drums—the VAD506 is the perfect solution. This premium five-piece kit features wooden shells with full depth and diameter, exquisitely finished and mounted on double-braced chrome stands for a look that will have the audience convinced you’re playing acoustic drums. Roland’s advanced digital sensor technology and dynamic TD-27 drum module provide the sound and response to match, making sure every stroke, ghost note, roll, and swell is fully expressed in incredible detail.

Hands-on module interface

Browsing kits, tweaking sounds, and saving custom presets in the VAD506 are walks in the park, thanks to the TD-27 module’s dedicated knobs and hands-on interface. Tuning and muffling have their own controls. And buttons around the jog wheel ensure you never get lost in sub-menus. The knurled knobs and rubberized selectors all feel great in the hands — which is important on a tool you might use for hours on end.

Powerful Prismatic Sound Modeling

Every onboard kit within the VAD506 is crafted to sound great without tweaks. But for times when you need a custom kit for a particular performance, Prismatic Sound Modeling — derived from the flagship TD-50 — has you covered. You have control over each drum shell’s tone and tuning. Each cymbal’s size and liveliness. You can even control virtual mic placement to dial in the perfect amount of natural ambience and life. Once you’ve found your sound, sweeten kick, snare, or toms with onboard FX, including rich reverb and smooth tape-like compression.

PureAcoustic Ambience Technology

The VAD506’s PureAcoustic Ambience Technology creates an immersive soundstage that really makes you feel like you’re there. PureAcoustic tech lets you dive deep into sound tweaking, too, allowing you to adjust virtual microphone positions like a real recording studio, then balance each part of the kit with outboard-style FX processors.
