Roland TD513

The Roland TD-513 is the starter model within the professional V-Drums 5 Series - a compact, space-saving kit that combines true expression, high-quality sounds and modern connectivity. It is the successor to the Roland TD-27K. With the powerful V51 sound module taken from Roland's top-of-the-line V71, this kit delivers an impressively realistic drum sound, backed by DW Soundworks samples and extensive editing capabilities. Whether you're practicing at home, recording in the studio or performing on small stages, the TD-513 offers the sound and playing experience of a high-end electronic drum kit in a streamlined setup.

Compact design, professional performance
The TD-513 is designed for drummers seeking serious performance in a compact form. The new PD-12P snare with triple sensors detects every nuance of your playing, from soft ghost notes to powerful rimshots. The updated PD-8H (8") and PD-10H (10") toms feature an improved sensor system with natural dynamics and fewer hotspots, while the KD-10 kickpad combines an acoustic feel with low noise production. Thanks to the sturdy MDS-Standard 3 rack, the set remains stable, flexible and easy to set up, even in smaller spaces.

V51 Sound Module - powerful, complete and expandable
The TD-513 is powered by the advanced V51 module - the heart of Roland's new V-Drums 5 Series. This module contains the same multisampled library as the V71 module and was developed in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW). The result: an incredibly realistic soundstage with deep expression and dynamic response.

Connectivity & studio integration
The TD-513's V51 module is fully equipped for any situation - from home studio to stage. Via the USB-C connection, you send multichannel audio and MIDI directly to your DAW, while MIDI In/Out provides connectivity to external instruments or sequencers. The module also features three USB-A digital pad inputs and four additional trigger inputs to expand your set. For audio output, there are two 6.35 mm Main Outs, two Direct Outs and a 6.35 mm Mix In for connecting an external audio source. It also offers both 3.5mm and 6.35mm headphone outputs, and an SD card slot that allows you to easily make recordings, play backing tracks or import your own samples. These extensive connectivity options make the TD-513 a full-fledged drum module for both practice, live use and professional studio recording.
