The ultimate Fusion of Acoustic
and Electronic Drums!Roland’s VAD706 (V-Drums Acoustic Design) is a hybrid kit which brings together the power and presence that comes with a full-scale acoustic drumkit, with the game changing technology for which V-Drums has become so famous for. Full-size wooden shells with beautifully lacquered maple finish plies and Roland’s now legendary multi-ply mesh heads offer a quiet and fully customisable response with each and every hit. Everything from the piercing crack of a tight snare drum, right through to the warm thump of a large kick drum is here inside the gorgeous VAD706. With this stunning range, you can truly feel, sense and approach the way you play drums in an entirely new way.
Taking a look at the kit as a whole, Roland’s staggeringly responsive, multi-zone V-Cymbals deliver all the expression and response you would expect from traditional cymbals, lending themselves brilliantly well to all playing styles, from hard hitting metal, to soulful blues and jazz styles. Roland also kitted the VAD706 range out with the new game-changing TD-50X module, a full-sized digital snare, ride and hi-hats. With all of this, alongside the 22” kick drum, 10/12/14” toms, the VAD706 accentuates the tiny details and nuances in your drumming that would otherwise be perhaps missed using a traditional, beaten up old kit.
For a lot of drummers, it might not be enough just to sound great, it’s also important to look the part too, and with the VAD706, you can rest assured you’ll command a serious stage presence!

The 'Natural Feel'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.
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—Roland's 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
lightning-fast response & DetectionRoland’s revolutionary 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.
Rapid 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.
Make the Sound Your Own
tweak everything!Going beyond the presets, the TD-50X allows you to customize things 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, stereo width, and other parameters at your command.
