Incredible playability
Every drummer knows that Roland’s V-Drums are in a class of their own when it comes to feel and functionality—and the VAD716 proves it once again. This 6-piece electronic drum kit is equipped with a 10-inch PDA100 tom pad, a 12-inch PDA120 tom pad, two 14-inch PDA140F tom pads, a realistic 22-inch KD22 kick drum pad, and the highly responsive PD-14DSX 14-inch snare pad. Thanks to the lifelike mesh heads and advanced triggering, this set feels instantly familiar to acoustic drummers. You also get two 16-inch CY-16R-T crash cymbals, an 18-inch CY-18DR ride, and a 14-inch VH-14D hi-hat, which together deliver a stunningly realistic response. Whether you’re switching from an acoustic set or want to take your electronic drumming experience to the next level, the VAD716 offers the ultimate combination of feel and control.
