Various V-Drums 5 Series kit features include a range of newly developed pads with low-profile designs and improved playability, plus new hardware for increased setup flexibility. The VAD516 and TD516 come with our advanced digital snare, ride, and hi-hat pads for the ultimate high-definition response, and you can upgrade the TD513 kit with these pads as your ambitions grow. All snare, tom, and kick pads feature Roland’s multi-layer mesh heads, providing the most natural feel you can get in electronic drumming.
Snare perfection.
The top-of-the-line PD-14DSX (VAD516) and PD-140DS (TD516) 14-inch snare pads take electronic playing to new levels with our innovative digital sensing technology. The softest articulations are translated in astonishing detail, and your hand position is automatically detected for seamless transitions between headshots, rimshots, and cross-stick playing. Inspired by flagship Roland pads, the new PD-12P 12-inch snare in the TD513 offers improved stick feel and response with chrome hoops, a rubber rim, and triple piezo sensors for accurate analog triggering.
Advanced hi-hat technology.
The VAD516 and TD516 come with the flagship 14-inch VH-14D, a groundbreaking digital hi-hat pad that brings unparalleled touch sensitivity, tonal variation, and open/closed resolution to electronic hi-hats. The TD513 features the VH-10, which offers exceptional playability in a smaller size. Each model mounts on a standard hi-hat stand, providing a traditional acoustic feel with natural rebound and support for foot splashes and other techniques.
Ultra-responsive cymbals.
Every V-Drums 5 Series kit comes with three premium cymbal pads for crash and ride, delivering acoustic-style playability with standard sizes, familiar swinging motion, multi-zone triggering, and detailed response. The VAD516 and TD516 kits include our flagship 18-inch CY-18DR digital ride, which features a high-resolution, multi-sensor system that detects every stroke from edge to bell. Techniques from cymbal rolls to soft bell strokes are fully translated, and you can mute the bow and bell with a finger touch—just like an acoustic ride.
Powerful kick drums.
Roland kick pads deliver that deep, satisfying “thud” every drummer wants—while also keeping in-room noise in check. The VAD516 kit includes the newly developed KD-20-MS, a full-size 20-inch kick drum with the same advanced trigger features as the KD-22 from the V-Drums 7 Series. The TD513 comes with the compact KD-10, while the TD516 features the KD-12 and its wider playing surface. All models support single and double pedals, and each kit comes with the KDP-5, a replaceable patch that slows wear and allows you to use a plastic, wood, or felt beater.
