General System Features
V71 Drum Module
The V71 module launches the V-Drums sound into a new dimension of realism and creative command. The onboard drum library has been created from the ground up, with instruments never-before featured in a previous module. Crafted from a handpicked selection of the world’s finest drum sets, these record-ready sounds deliver the detail, punch, and sonic quality found in the most expensive computer collections.

  • 200 drum kits (over 70 presets)
  • More than 1000 instruments
  • Per layer, per pad, and master FX including EQ, compression, reverb, and resonance
  • Overhead mic simulator and room simulation
Recording Process
The V71 sound library was originally recorded and mixed at 32-bit / 192 kHz resolution in pro studios around the globe, with intensive sessions manned by leading engineers who know how to capture incredible drum sounds. A large part of the collection was recorded in direct collaboration with DW in Oxnard, California, ensuring a seamless experience between the hardware module and the DW Soundworks software instrument.
New Sounds on Demand
While previous V-Drums modules offer deep editing capabilities, the onboard sound libraries are fixed and can’t be expanded. The V71 module changes all that, letting you freely change up the sound set for the first time.

Open the Roland Cloud Connect app on your mobile device to access a growing range of V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles via your wireless network. Then, find the sounds you want, download them directly to the module, and start drumming immediately.

Choose Your Perspective
When you're a serious drummer, your sound exists in two distinct universes. One is the intimate, up-close sound of the drums when you're behind the kit. The second is the produced sound created for a recording or live PA, which is typically processed with EQs, compressors, and ambience. Some V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles have been specially mixed for both the drummer and producer positions, letting you create the playing experience you want at the touch of a button.
Incredible Expressivity
Like top-tier drum sound libraries for computers, the V71 features multilayer sample playback and round-robin randomization for natural sound with no machine-gun effect. Roland’s proprietary behavior modeling adds the finishing touch, refining the sound with smooth, artifact-free transitions for every articulation and over 16,000 variations in dynamic response with their digital pads. Together with their latest sensors and digital trigger technologies, the V-Drums 7 Series delivers an inspiring, acoustic-like playing feel.
Hardware Convenience
Nothing beats dedicated hardware for quick setup and trouble-free playing in demanding situations. With the V71 module, you get no-compromise sound and pro audio connectivity, including multiple direct outs for individual drums. The module is housed in a rugged command center with fast startup, an informative color display, and quick-access controls.
Computer Flexibility
Every V-Drums 7 Series kit can trigger sounds in DW Soundworks, a revolutionary drum software instrument that runs as a standalone computer application or a DAW plug-in. Many DW Soundworks expansions mirror V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles, allowing you to transition to software-based drumming with the identical sound and response as the module.
Expand Your World
On Roland Cloud, you’ll never run out of fresh inspiration for your drumming journeys. V-Drums Instrument Expansions add all-new drum kits to the module, recorded using the same detailed process as the core library.

Up to six expansions can be active at once, and you can freely exchange kicks, snares, cymbals, and other components between different kits. Roland also offers V-Drums Kit Packs created by top drummers and producers, which are customized kits built from the core sound library.

V71 Sound Module Deep Dive
Add Your Own Sounds
Sometimes, you need specific sounds to support an artist on tour. Or maybe you rely on a personal sample collection to reinforce your acoustic drums in studio productions.

The module’s sample import function makes it easy to customize your palette and build any sound you can imagine. Each pad assignment provides three layers that can include any combination of internal sounds or external samples.

Go Deep with V-Edit
All the built-in sounds and V-Drums Instrument Expansions come finely tuned and ready to play, with no adjustment necessary. But if you like to personalize the details, enhanced V-Edit tools let you dive deeper than ever. Virtually adjust any drum or cymbal just as you would an acoustic instrument, from head types, damping, and tuning to snare wire tension, mic distance, and much more.
Go Even Deeper with the V71 Editor
V-Drums users have long requested a software-based editor, and now it's here. Available as a free download on Roland Cloud, the V71 Editor extends your editing workflow with your own large computer screen and mouse control. It works seamlessly with the onboard V-Edit tools, and your instrument changes are instantly reflected in both the module and editor software.
Wireless Freedom
The V71 features a built-in Roland wireless adapter that links with your network, letting you access sound content directly via the Roland Cloud Connect app on a mobile device. Bluetooth audio/MIDI is also available, allowing you to jam with songs on your phone, play along with video lessons, wirelessly record MIDI in music software, and more.
Plethora of Connectivity
The V71 rear panel offers balanced outputs for professional audio connections, including:

  • XLR and 1/4" stereo main outputs
  • Eight 1/4" TRS direct outputs
  • Three high-speed trigger inputs support Roland's advanced digital pads
  • 14 analog trigger inputs offer full compatibility with standard V-Pads
  • Stereo mix input is perfect for blending in an external instrument such as an SPD series percussion pad
  • An assignable footswitch jack and an SD-card slot for data backup, sample import, audio-file playback, and recording
Multichannel Audio and MIDI
Use the module's integrated USB audio/MIDI interface to communicate with DW Soundworks, the V71 Editor, and other music software. And capture up to 32 audio channels in your DAW over a single cable. Traditional MIDI I/O is also available to connect with all types of MIDI hardware.
Drum Pad Deep Dive
14" Digital Snare
The PD-14DSX takes Roland digital snare technology to a new level of acoustic realism and playing comfort. The softest articulations are translated in astonishing detail, and hand position is automatically detected for seamless transitions between headshots, rimshots, and cross-stick playing.

A throw-off mechanism turns the snares on or off with the flip of a lever, while a knurled strainer knob lets you dial in snare tension with a twist. The knob also doubles as a push control for easy operation of different module functions.

10" PDA100 and 12" PDA120 Tom Pads
The flagship VAD716 kit includes one 10" PDA100 and one 12" PDA120 Acoustic Design tom pad. Blending the distinctive aesthetic of acoustic drums with Roland’s leading digital drum technology, every component realizes the authentic crafted appearance of high-quality acoustic drums, with full depth and diameter wood shells and heavy-duty chrome hardware designed by Roland. Dual zones provide independent head and rim triggering, while the advanced sensor system eliminates hot spots for accurate and even response across the entire playing surface of the head.

  • 2-ply mesh heads with wood shell construction
  • Adjustable tension for customizing rebound and feel
  • Tom brackets inluded for mounting to standard acoustic tom mounts

Also included with the VAD716 kit are two PDA140F Acoustic Design 14" floor tom pads. Like the rack tom pads, the PDA140F features an acoustic aesthetic with full-depth and full-diameter wooden shells and heavy-duty chrome hardware.

These dual-zone floor toms feature the ergonomics of real floor toms, sporting durable metal legs for realistic floor placement and positioning. With 14" playing surfaces, these toms truly feel like the real deal and let you cut loose, so you can play drums in a natural way, just like you would on a real acoustic 6-piece kit.

  • Legs included for floor mounting within a full drum setup
  • 14x14" dual-zone playing surface
  • Triple-ply mesh head with adjustable tension for custom rebound and feel

14" Digital Hi-Hats
The VH-14D is a true game changer, bringing unparalleled touch sensitivity, tonal variation, and open/closed resolution to electronic hi-hats. The top/bottom cymbal design provides a familiar look and feel, while the high-res detection system captures stick articulations and footwork in flawless detail.
18" Digital Ride
With its standard size, familiar motion, and ultradetailed response, the CY-18DR will inspire the most expressive ride players. The high-resolution, multisensor system detects every stroke, from edge to bell, for precision dynamics and response. Techniques from cymbal rolls to soft bell strokes are fully translated, and you can mute the bow and bell with a finger touch, just like an acoustic ride.

Roland DTS-30S Drum Stand Hardware and Cable Set

Developed for the flagship Roland VAD706 e-drum kit, but compatible with other V-Drums kits and components, the DTS-30S is a hardware stand and cable set ideal as spares or for expansion.
