The
Roland TD-513 V-Drums Kit marks a new era for discerning drummers looking for a professional electronic kit that combines realism, expressiveness, and ease of setup. Designed to deliver the power of the V51 module and the sensitivity of redesigned pads, this kit is a complete solution for musicians who want the sound and feel of an acoustic kit with all the flexibility of digital. Whether for stage, studio, or daily practice, the TD-513 stands out with an immersive, rich, and evolving playing experience.
Performance and sound realism
At the heart of the
TD-513 is the
V51 module, powered by the all-new sound engine derived from the V-Drums 7 series. This processor reproduces unparalleled nuances of expression, thanks to multi-layered samples recorded with
Drum Workshop (DW) and Roland's exclusive behavioral modeling. The result? A fluid, organic response that is incredibly close to a high-end acoustic drum kit. Drummers enjoy exceptional realism with every strike, with natural rendering of ghost notes, rimshots, and the finest dynamics.
Designed for the modern drummer
Designed for drummers looking for the ideal balance between professional performance and compactness, the TD-513 is equally suited for home use, rehearsals, or live performances. Its
redesigned 8- to 12-inch pads offer a balanced response and comfortable playing surface, while the 12-inch
PD-12P snare drum delivers remarkable expressiveness. The kit also includes a 16-inch ride cymbal and two responsive crashes, complemented by ultra-realistic VH-10 hi-hats. This configuration ensures a smooth transition for acoustic drummers who want to keep their bearings while benefiting from digital precision.
Connectivity and full integration
Thanks to the modern connectivity of the
V51 module, the TD-513 integrates seamlessly into any working environment. The
USB-C audio/MIDI port allows direct recording to a DAW or use with virtual instruments such as DW Soundworks. Stereo
TRS ¼" outputs, a dedicated headphone port, and built-in
Wi-Fi make it easy to control and update via the
Roland Cloud Connect and
V-Drums Play apps. The module comes with a 6-month subscription to
Roland Cloud Ultimate, giving you access to hundreds of kits, instruments, and extensions to enrich your sound over time.
Built-in coaching and progression tools
More than just a metronome, the TD-513's built-in
Coach mode offers a real learning and improvement tool. It includes classic exercises such as
Time Check and
Quiet Count, as well as new features such as
Phrase Trainer for working on grooves,
Stroke Monitor for analyzing your playing, and
Blast Beat Trainer for improving speed and endurance. These features transform every session into an effective and enjoyable training experience.
Design and ergonomics
The
V51 module features a compact and elegant design with a large color screen and intuitive interface. Simplified menus allow you to quickly navigate between kits, adjust settings, or customize sounds in seconds. The
MDS-STD3 rack ensures perfect stability and quick setup, while the black and chrome finishes give it a professional look on stage. The TD-513 embodies the spirit of V-Drums: a modern, reliable, and inspiring instrument, built for intensive playing.
