DESCRIPTION

Power meets precision in the Roland TD516 V-Drums Kit, a next-generation electronic drum set that blends the expressive feel of acoustic drums with cutting-edge digital technology. Designed for studio professionals, performing artists, and serious learners, the TD516 delivers a wide range of sounds, deep editing control, and a tactile playing experience that makes every session inspiring.

At the heart of the kit is the V51 sound module, which draws its core from Roland’s flagship V71 engine. It provides over 1,000 dynamic instruments, 70 factory kits, and 130 customizable slots—making it easy to shape your sound with EQ, layering, effects, and mic simulation. The module's intuitive interface and app support streamline setup whether you're in the studio, at home, or on stage.

Performance-wise, the TD516 excels with its triple-sensor toms and digital snare, hi-hat, and ride—all delivering ultra-responsive, multi-zone triggering for authentic drumming feel. The snare features positional sensing, letting players control tonal color based on hand position, while the digital hi-hat and ride offer nuanced play from edge to bow to bell.

The reinforced kick pad supports powerful footwork, and the MDS-Standard 3 rack ensures stable, ergonomic placement for all components. Built-in practice tools like the phrase trainer and stroke monitor support skill development, while Bluetooth and USB-C open seamless paths to DAWs, mobile apps, and Roland Cloud for sound expansion.

Durable chrome hardware, double-stitched mesh heads, and advanced sensor technology round out this kit, ensuring it stands up to heavy use while maintaining peak performance. Whether you're recording, rehearsing, or performing, the Roland TD516 gives you everything you need to stay creative and connected.
