The Perfect Fusion of Acoustic and Electronic Drums

The VAD706 takes the electronic drumming experience where it’s never gone before, combining Roland’s flagship V-Drums technologies with the hand-
crafted detail of premium-grade acoustic drums. This top-of-the-line V-Drums Acoustic Design kit features digital snare, ride, and hi-hat pads that bring
ultra-detailed playability to the three most nuanced pieces in the kit. The next-generation TD-50X module provides unmatched tone, feel, and response,
coupled with deep editing tools to fully personalize your sound and pro connectivity to take on any playing situation. Full-size wood shells are included
throughout, with advanced sensing systems that deliver real-deal acoustic feel. And with four eye-popping finishes available, you can choose the look that
perfectly matches your personal style and taste.

Immerse Yourself in a Premium Drumming Experience

The VAD706 not only sounds and feels great—it’s also beautiful to behold. With its full-size shells, two-piece hi-hat, large cymbals, double-
braced chrome stands, and choice of four gorgeous shell finishes, this premium kit has a presence that makes you want to drum all day and show
it off to everyone. Choose from Gloss Natural, Gloss Cherry, or Gloss Ebony finishes, which offer an artisan look with stained maple veneers and
transparent gloss coats. Or make a statement with the deep Pearl White finish and its bold, attention-grabbing vibe.
:
 Prismatic Sound Modeling: Feel the Difference
The Prismatic Sound Modeling in the TD-50X makes electronic drums come to life like no other system can, infusing multi-layer samples
recorded in world-class studios with sophisticated behavior modeling techniques refined over more than two decades. Inspired by a prism—which
refracts a single ray of light into every color in the spectrum—our revolutionary approach produces an unlimited array of sonic colors with every
stick hit. The initial attack is followed by a complex mix of rich overtones, just like playing acoustic drums and cymbals. You can feel the sound
changing in reaction to your expression, creating that magical, interactive bond that fully immerses you in the emotion of the moment. From
subtle ghost notes and detailed articulations to the loudest and most intense playing, your drumming has no boundaries with the TD-50X.

 Digital Snare, Ride, and Hi-Hat
Our groundbreaking digital pad technology is a major leap forward in electronic drumming, putting unmatched depth and dimension under your
sticks. Precision multi-sensors in the snare, ride, and hi-hat pads work in complete harmony with the TD-50X module, capturing every nuance
with incredible definition and detail. Lightning-fast detection enables you to play all your natural acoustic techniques, such as muting the ride
with a finger touch or switching seamlessly between head, rimshot, and cross stick playing on the snare. And the VH-14D takes electronic hi-hat
playing to new heights, offering touch sensitivity, tonal variation, and open/closed resolution never before available—until now.
:
 The Natural Feel of Acoustic Drums
The VAD706 features Roland’s famous multi-ply mesh heads, with three-layer heads on the snare and floor tom and two-layer heads on the rack
toms providing natural stick resistance and rebound that’s customizable for your individual playing style. Burying the beater into the specially
designed kick drum is completely satisfying, thanks to physical air resistance that feels just like playing an acoustic kick. The organic experience
extends to the toms as well, with the real wood shells and traditional mounts providing a feel that’s uncannily acoustic in nature.

Instant Gratification
:
 Imagine acoustic drums that are set up, mic’d, processed, and mixed in a world-class studio—that’s what you get when you call up a preset on the
TD-50X module. Developed with top drummers and recording engineers, these inspiring kits let you take on any style at the touch of a button,
from traditional jazz to full-throttle metal.

Build Your Signature Drum Kit

Going beyond the presets, the TD-50X allows you to customize your sound at every level—just as you would with an acoustic kit. Make quick
adjustments to tuning and muffling, or dive deep and build a kit from the ground up by selecting shell depths, drumhead types, cymbal
characteristics, and much more. Then put the kit in the space of your choice using PureAcoustic Ambience, with full control of room type,
reverberation, and other parameters at your fingertips.
:
 Craft Your Sound with Studio Precision
After you’ve tweaked the details of your kit, make it fully come alive with the TD-50X’s impressive array of studio tools. Adjust mic settings for
various kit elements, then dial in sounds with equalizers, compressors, and other processing. And for spaciousness and color, tap into the wide
selection of high-quality reverbs and multi-effects.
:
 Powerful Connectivity for Stage and Studio
With a rear panel loaded with connectivity, the TD-50X module is ready to take on the practical needs of any playing situation. Stereo XLR
master outs and eight TRS direct outs allow you to send any drums you like to an audio console via balanced connections. For computer-based
music production, you have the ability to send up to 32 channels of digital audio over USB for premium-quality transfer. MIDI I/O is also
supported over USB and traditional five-pin connectors.
:
 Expand Your Options
Using the TD-50X module’s four auxiliary analog trigger inputs, you can easily expand the VAD706 as your needs grow. Augment your setup
with more cymbal pads, another floor tom, or a small trigger pad like the Roland BT-1. Or double up by adding an additional kick drum for
maximum stage impact.

Your Personal Practice Partner

The TD-50X module is filled with features to develop your technique and make practice sessions fun and rewarding. Improve your timing with
the built-in metronome and Coach mode exercises, or simply jam along with music played from a smartphone or laptop. The onboard recorder lets
:
 you capture and review your playing at any time, complete with the ability to export audio (with or without backing music) for sharing with
others. And you can extend your practice even further with Melodics™, a free desktop app that comes with 40 lessons, plus unlimited access via a
subscription when you’re ready for more.
