Multi-Purpose V-Drums for Home Entertainment

Roland's V-Drums are world famous for their incredible sound and expressive performance. Today, the V-Drums family gets an exciting new addition with the HD-3 — a new-generation drum kit that expands the definition of drumming. This compact kit is powerful and expressive enough for pros yet fun and friendly enough for beginners, gamers, and home-entertainment enthusiasts. You don't need to be a drummer to enjoy this fun, cool instrument for every home.

  • - Fun, compact V-Drums for all levels of drummers, gamers, and home-entertainment enthusiasts
  • - 20 preset kits with dedicated select buttons and informative backlit LCD
  • - Beater-less kick with improved playing feel and low acoustic noise
  • - New cloth-head toms with improved playing feel and design
  • - Dual-trigger pads for snare and crash/ride to improve playability
  • - Metronome with selectable sounds and adjustable tempo

Small Price, Big Performance

Its footprint is small, but the HD-3 sounds and performs impressively large. Based on Roland's legendary V-Drums, this little kit is a dream for beginners, casual players, gamers, as well as for parents, since the volume level can be completely controlled via volume knob and/or headphones.

Newly Improved Pads

Play the comfortable new cloth-head pads that feel and respond like acoustic toms. The beater-less kick pad has also been enhanced for comfort and improved playing response.

Play-Along Fun

The HD-3 is equipped with a mix input jack for connecting CD-players, MP3 players, and other audio sources. Jam along with your favorite songs, and control the blend of music and your live drumming through headphones or an amplifier (*).
