The Roland VAD-507 has traditional looks, authentic acoustic response and unlimited sonic possibilities. Roland's VAD hybrid drum kits meet at the intersection of natural playing feel and electronic versatility! Real wood cymbals with tunable mesh drumheads capture the lively sound of acoustic drums, with a customizable response that can be easily tuned to your personal playing preferences. Next, the multi-zone V cymbals have been thinned out from previous generations to give more expressive possibilities. But what really takes the VAD507 to the next generation is the updated TD-27 sound module. The sound module is now loaded with 75 kits and a whole library of sound-shaping tools. If you're looking for an electronic drum kit that excels both on stage, in the studio or just in the practice room, you need VAD drums from Roland!
Please note that the kit comes without snare stand, kick pedal or hi-hat stand. Feel free to contact one of the gear nerds at Klundert Music to outfit your kit with all the hardware and accessories you need!

2nd generation TD-27 sound module
Like Roland's top-of-the-line TD-50 sound module, the TD-27 is powered by Roland's advanced Prismatic Sound Modeling. Its exceptionally deep editing capabilities allow you to shape and tune just about every parameter of your kit. From the tone and tuning of the shell to the size and articulation of the cymbals. Plus, Prismatic Sound Modeling features virtual microphone placement to set vibrancy and ambience in the room - there's even a library of new effects like reverb, compression and more to effortlessly capture a studio-quality sound.
PureAcoustic Ambience Technology
Besides your shells, there is another sonic component that determines the tone of your kit: the room the percussion is placed in. That's why Roland developed the innovative PureAcoustic Ambience Technology to create a natural and immersive foundation for your eDrum sound. PureAcoustic imbues every beat of the kit with lifelike spaciousness to take the tone of your kit to a whole new level of realism.
10 all-new kits
The second generation of the TD-27 increases sonic versatility with a range of as many as 75 preset kits developed in collaboration with professional drummers. 10 of these kits are all-new to the TD-27, and many of the old kits have been fine-tuned and tweaked by Roland, making them sound better than ever before! As if that weren't enough, improved integration with Roland Cloud makes it a breeze to download fresh new kits from Roland's ever-expanding library, including many signature artist kits that put the power of the world's best players directly into your hands.
