The Roland TD316 V-Drums ushers in a new era for discerning drummers looking for a compact, expressive, and connected kit. Powered by the V31 module, derived from the professional series, it combines acoustic realism, rich sound, and exceptional playing comfort. With its new Premium pads and two crash pads, the TD-316 offers an electronic drumming experience worthy of a stage model—ideal for home playing, studio work, or live performance.
The TD316 features new-generation premium pads that offer a natural and consistent response across each strike zone. The dual-zone PD-12P snare pad faithfully reproduces the rebound of an acoustic drumhead, while the PD-8H and PD-10H toms deliver smooth dynamics and excellent playing comfort. The triple-zone CY-12C-T and CY-14R-T cymbals accurately reproduce every nuance, and the VH-10 hi-hat provides a natural and progressive opening on the stand.
The heart of the kit, the Roland V31 module, is derived from the sound engine of the 5 and 7 series. It features multi-layer sampling performed with Drum Workshop (DW) for a striking acoustic rendering. Thanks to Roland's behavioral modeling and round-robin processing, each strike is unique, for unparalleled expressiveness. The module also features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity to connect to Roland Cloud, download new kits, and manage sounds from a smartphone via the V-Drums Play and Roland Cloud Connect apps.
Ideal for progression and composition, the TD-316 features the new and improved Coach mode, with metronome, Time Check, Quiet Count, Phrase Trainer, and Stroke Monitor. These tools allow you to work on precision, consistency, and speed. In addition, USB-C audio/MIDI connectivity and TRS outputs ensure seamless integration into any studio or stage setup.
The MDS-COM2 rack optimizes stability while facilitating installation and transport. The set has a modern look with black finishes, chrome rims, and a small footprint (179 × 110 × 120 cm for only 24.7 kg). A complete and stylish kit, designed for drummers who want to combine aesthetics, performance, and reliability.
