The new 3 & 5 Series V-Drums, available in both TD and VAD models, combine professional-level performance with a streamlined setup. Powered by the same flagship sound engine as the V-Drums 7 Series, the 3 and 5 Series deliver identical expressive capabilities, preset kits, and seamless access to Roland Cloud’s ever-growing library of instrument expansions.
Featuring newly developed pad designs with the latest innovations in materials and construction, these kits offer a premium, highly responsive playing experience. With support for one digital pad on the 3 Series or three digital pads on the 5 Series—including hi-hat, snare, and ride—you can unlock the full spectrum of touch sensitivity and dynamic expression.
WHO'S IT FOR?
