Roland V-Drums Acoustic Design VAD307

The Roland VAD307 represents the latest in Roland hybrid drum technology, offering reliable performance for the stage and studio for any drummer seeking an authentic, lifelike response from a premium E-Drum kit.

It features newly developed thin crash and ride cymbals with natural feel and swinging motion, plus flagship-grade stands for rock-solid performance. The footprint is the same as a mid-level V-Drums set, making it ideal for home use and tight stages. Cutdown shallow shells save space and weight—but from the playing position, they feel instantly familiar to any drummer. Double-braced stands with tom mounts and cymbal boom arms complete the layout and enhance the acoustic theme. The updated TD-17 module provides all the acoustic tone and playability you could ask for, enhanced with more preset kits, expanded effects, and Roland Cloud support.

In Use

The incredible playability of these drums is out of this world in sound, feel, and looks. The bass drum in particular gives a real thud under the foot, something that most electronic drum kits fail to provide, the acoustic feel to the drums, being able to tune to your preferred tension and the drums themselves being a wooden shell construction you almost forget you are playing electronic drums.

The Shells are shallow and designed to save more space live or in practice when space can be an issue, you as a drummer will no longer be to blame!

The hardware is fantastic for these high-end Rolands, and so they should be, I sometimes think the hardware is overlooked, but not here, they are pushing the road-worthy vibe, the hardware is heavy tough, and super sturdy to carry these drums and cymbals, no moving around on the stage and have the classic look rather than a big rack system that can often become a hindrance on smaller staging.

Cymbals

The upgraded pies feel a lot better than the older models, being thinner and having a swinging motion they are not as fatiguing and react the way you would want them to. a nice size to at 12" they look a lot more substantial and professional. The ride is 14" and its responsiveness is excellent and has a distinguised feel compared to the crashes.

Live

This drum kit is perfect for the gigging drummer where stages and overall sound are limited, which is happening a lot these days with venues having to install their PA and have complete control because of noise complaints, it happens.
We know using an electronic kit isn't the best, but wait until you sit behind one of these, through a rig they sound massive, and as we've said they feel incredible, and as a plus they don't look like a toy, they look unreal!
