Every drummer knows that when it comes to electronic playability, few can match the design and functionality of Roland's V-Drums — and the TD716 kit reinforces this notion. This 6-piece electronic drum set comes outfitted with two 10-inch tom pads, two 12-inch tom pads a 12-inch kick tower, and Roland's highly capable PD-14DSX 14-inch snare pad. With the lifelike responsiveness of its mesh heads and Roland's powerful triggering capabilities, acoustic drummers will feel right at home behind the kit. The TD716 also bundles in two 16-inch crash cymbal pads, an 18-inch ride cymbal pad, and 14-inch hi-hat pads that rebound with astonishing realism to match the rest of the kit.
Drummers who use Roland V-Drums 7 series kits and double dip as producers will be thrilled to have the V71 as their new studio mothership. The V71 module doubles as a multichannel USB interface with 32 discrete audio channels and MIDI. Additionally, there are balanced main XLR and 1/4-inch outputs, eight balanced 1/4-inch direct audio outputs, three digital trigger inputs, and 14 analog trigger inputs. Still not satisfied? How about Bluetooth audio/MIDI for wireless music streaming and MIDI recording with your smartphone? The V71 ticks all the boxes — it's a complete drumming/producing/practicing tool in one sleek unit.
DW Soundworks represents a revolutionary virtual instrument designed to provide creators with authentic drum sounds.

Flagship V-Drums 7 Series Kit with the Expandable V71 Module and Advanced Pads.
Our V71 module launches the V-Drums sound into a new dimension of realism and creative command. The onboard drum library has been created from the ground up, with instruments never featured in any previous module. Crafted from a hand-picked selection of the world’s finest drum sets, these record-ready sounds deliver the detail, punch, and sonic quality found in the most expensive computer collections.
The V71 sound library was originally recorded and mixed at 32-bit/192 kHz resolution in pro studios around the globe, with intensive sessions manned by leading engineers who know how to capture incredible drum sounds. A large part of the collection was recorded in direct collaboration with DW in Oxnard, California, ensuring a seamless experience between the hardware module and the DW Soundworks software instrument.
While previous V-Drums modules offer deep editing capabilities, the onboard sound libraries are fixed and can’t be expanded. The V71 module changes all that, letting you freely change up the sound set for the first time. Open the Roland Cloud Connect app on your mobile device to access a growing range of V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles via your wireless network. Then, find the sounds you want, download them directly to the module, and start drumming immediately.
When you’re a serious drummer, your sound exists in two distinct universes. One is the intimate, up-close sound of the drums when you’re behind the kit. The second is the produced sound created for a recording or live PA, which is typically processed with EQs, compressors, and ambience. Some V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles have been specially mixed for both the drummer and producer positions, letting you create the playing experience you want at the touch of a button.
Like top-tier drum sound libraries for computers, the V71 features multi-layer sample playback and round-robin randomization for natural sound with no “machine-gun” effect. Roland’s proprietary behavior modeling adds the finishing touch, refining the sound with smooth, artifact-free transitions for every articulation and over 16,000 variations in dynamic response with our digital pads. Together with our latest sensors and digital trigger technologies, the V-Drums 7 Series delivers an inspiring, acoustic-like playing feel that’s second to none in the electronic drumming world.
When you play a V-Drums 7 Series kit, you’ll enjoy a consistent drumming experience across every creative environment. Perform on stage with robust, reliable hardware, then transition to the studio and a computer-based workflow with the very same sounds.
Nothing beats dedicated hardware for quick setup and trouble-free playing in demanding situations. With the V71 module, you get no-compromise sound and pro audio connectivity—including multiple direct outs for individual drums—housed in a rugged command center with fast startup, an informative color display, and quick-access controls.
Every V-Drums 7 Series kit can trigger sounds in DW Soundworks,* a revolutionary drum software instrument that runs as a standalone computer application or a DAW plug-in. Many DW Soundworks expansions mirror V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles, allowing you to transition to software-based drumming with the identical sound and response as the module.
On Roland Cloud, you’ll never run out of fresh inspiration for your drumming journeys. V-Drums Instrument Expansions add all-new drum kits to the module, recorded using the same detailed process as the core library. Up to six expansions can be active at once, and you can freely exchange kicks, snares, cymbals, and other components between different kits. We also offer V-Drums Kit Packs created by top drummers and producers, which are customized kits built from the core sound library.

This gives you untethered access to everything we offer, including V-Drums Instrument Expansions, V-Drums Kit Packs, DW Soundworks and related content, and more.

The V71 is the deepest and most advanced sound module we’ve ever produced. The famous hands-on V-Drums workflow remains, but everything else has been overhauled, rebuilt, and refreshed. Ultra-powerful DSP and greatly expanded waveform memory unlock a universe of creative expression never before possible. Preset changes, sound edits, and mix adjustments are smoother and faster than ever, thanks to the vivid color display, updated workflow features, tactile controls, and ergonomic panel layout.
Sometimes, you need specific sounds to support an artist on tour. Or maybe you rely on a personal sample collection to reinforce your acoustic drums in studio productions. The module’s sample import function makes it easy to customize your palette and build any sound you can imagine. Each pad assignment provides three layers that can include any combination of internal sounds or external samples..
All the built-in sounds and V-Drums Instrument Expansions come finely tuned and ready to play, with no adjustment necessary. But if you like to personalize the details, enhanced V-Edit tools let you dive deeper than ever. Virtually adjust any drum or cymbal just as you would an acoustic instrument, from head types, damping, and tuning to snare wire tension, mic distance, and much more.
V-Drums users have long requested a software-based editor, and now it’s here. Available as a free download on Roland Cloud, the V71 Editor extends your editing workflow with a large computer screen and mouse control. It works seamlessly with the onboard V-Edit tools, and your instrument changes are instantly reflected in both the module and editor software.
The V71 features a built-in Roland wireless adapter that links with your network, letting you access sound content directly via the Roland Cloud Connect app on a mobile device. Bluetooth audio/MIDI is also available, allowing you to jam with songs on your phone, play along with video lessons, wirelessly record MIDI in music software, and more.
The V71 rear panel offers balanced outputs for professional audio connections, including XLR and 1/4-inch stereo main outputs and eight 1/4-inch direct outputs. Three high-speed trigger inputs support our advanced digital pads, while 14 analog trigger inputs offer full compatibility with standard V-Pads. There’s also a stereo mix input—perfect for blending in an external instrument such as an SPD series percussion pad—plus an assignable footswitch jack and an SD card slot for data backup, sample import, audio file playback, and recording.
Use the module’s integrated USB audio/MIDI interface to communicate with DW Soundworks, the V71 Editor, and other music software. And capture up to 32 audio channels in your DAW over a single cable. Traditional MIDI I/O is also available to connect with all types of MIDI hardware.
While the sound engine is a vital component of an electronic drum system, the pad interface is equally important. Every kit element must work together in harmony for a complete drumming experience. The V-Drums 7 Series features the finest pads in Roland’s history, born of three-plus decades of meticulous research, refinement, and real-world testing with pro drummers. Our groundbreaking digital pads communicate with the V71 module at lightning-fast speed, enabling you to coax the subtlest nuances from the most expressive kit components. Advanced multi-sensor trigger systems and innovative hardware details optimize each pad for its role, backed by the module’s powerful DSP for the lowest latency available. And with their satisfying acoustic feel, our famous multi-layer mesh heads remain the best you can get in electronic drumming.
The PD-14DSX takes our digital snare technology to a new level of acoustic realism and playing comfort. The softest articulations are translated in astonishing detail, and hand position is automatically detected for seamless transitions between headshots, rimshots, and cross-stick playing. A throw-off mechanism turns the snares on or off with the flip of a lever, while a knurled strainer knob lets you dial in snare tension with a twist. The knob also doubles as a push control for easy operation of different module functions.
The VH-14D is a true game changer, bringing unparalleled touch sensitivity, tonal variation, and open/closed resolution to electronic hi-hats. The top/bottom cymbal design provides a familiar look and feel, while the high-res detection system captures stick articulations and footwork in flawless detail.
With its standard size, familiar motion, and ultra-detailed response, the CY-18DR will inspire the most expressive ride players. The high-resolution, multi-sensor system detects every stroke from edge to bell for precision dynamics and response. 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.
Building a low-noise electronic kick pad with an authentic acoustic playing feel is trickier than it seems. The Roland drum team has spent years working on this challenge to bring you the best-feeling kick pads, no matter the size. Through careful study, detailed analysis methods, and innovative materials and construction, our kick pads deliver that deep, satisfying “thud” every drummer seeks—while also keeping in-room noise in check. The KD-22, KD-18-BK, and KD-12 models in the V-Drums 7 Series kits support single and double pedals and feature our latest textured pad material for outstanding durability. Each pad also includes the KDP-5, a replaceable patch that slows wear and allows you to use a plastic, wood, or felt beaterndard size, familiar motion, and ultra-detailed response, the CY-18DR will inspire the most expressive ride players. The high-resolution, multi-sensor system detects every stroke from edge to bell for precision dynamics and response. 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.
The flagship TD716 kit includes the newly developed 10-inch PD-10X and 12-inch PD-12X tom pads. Each features an elegant, streamlined design with die-cast rims, an acoustic-style hoop height, and shallow depth for easy adjustment. A new four-way sensor system eliminates hot spots and independently detects rim and head hits.
Since the introduction of V-Drums in 1997, our mission has remained the same: to provide every player with an authentic acoustic drumming experience fused with the benefits of modern technology. The V-Drum 7 Series represents the pinnacle of our development knowledge and continual focus on achieving great drum sounds, bringing you the most playable, realistic, and satisfying kits yet. Still, while every component is bursting with innovation, there’s no need to consider the technology when playing. Simply sit behind the drum kit, call up a sound, close your eyes, and enjoy the journey—that’s the way drumming should be.
