Roland V31 Overview

Sitting at the heart of the V-Drums 3 series, the Roland V31 is a drum sound module powered by the same engine found in the flagship V71. Featuring high-quality multisampled, multilayered drum kits made in collaboration with DW, with loads of hands-on sound modification and performance tools, the V31 is ready to power your learning, playing, and performing.

The 4.3" color display, with panel faders and an intuitive interface, ensure painless navigation and operation. The V31 comes loaded with 200 drum kits (with more than 70 presets) and over 1000 instruments. Use the Sound Modify section to adjust tuning, muffling, and kit components. Explore the integrated coach mode to utilize a phrase trainer, stroke monitor, and other advanced tools. With MIDI connectivity and a USB-C multichannel audio interface, you can seamlessly integrate with DAWs and software-based instruments for expanded creative possibilities. You can also enjoy Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless connectivity for streaming audio from mobile devices and expanding your sound library via Roland Cloud. And with an onboard audio recorder and SD-card slot, you can quickly record your performances and playback tracks.

Unified Sound and Expansion Options
The V31 module is part of a unified ecosystem with the V71 and V51, providing full cross-compatibility across V-Drums modules for the first time. Drum with the same core sound library created for the V-Drums 7 Series. And stay inspired with Roland Cloud content for V-Drums, including multilayered V-Drums Instrument Expansions based on premium DW drum sets.
Flagship Audio Quality
In developing the V71 module for the acclaimed V-Drums 7 Series, Roland built an entirely new onboard sound library in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW), bringing unmatched realism and creative command to V-Drums. The V31 module is equipped with the same internal engine as the V71, giving you the identical sounds and expansion path in a streamlined interface. 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 sample collections.
New Sounds, On Demand
You can freely change the sound set within the V31 module to keep your music fresh. 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.
Unrivaled Expression
Like top-tier drum software sound libraries, the V31 features multilayer sample playback and round-robin randomization for natural sound without machine-gun effects. 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 Roland's digital pads.
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 onboard 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 offer V-Drums Kit Packs created by top drummers and producers including many titles—for playing with spot-on recreations of the kits used in the most influential songs of all time.

Roland Cloud Membership Included
Purchasing the V31 module or a V-Drums 3 Series kit includes six months of the Roland Cloud Ultimate membership tier, giving you untethered access to V-Drums Instrument Expansions, V-Drums Kit Packs, DW Soundworks, and more. Subscribe after the trial ends, and stay up to date with Roland's ever-expanding release roadmap. Or skip membership, and keep your favorite selections forever with Lifetime Key purchases.
Editing Made Simple
The kits within the module come ready to play, allowing you to experience world-class sounds with the turn of a dial. To add a personal touch, press the EZ Edit button to quickly change up kick and snare sounds, adjust pitch and damping, balance drum and cymbal levels, and more. If you want to go even further, dive into the module's deeper editing tools or use the V31 Editor on your Mac or Windows computer.
Studio-Grade Processing
The V31 is loaded with pro audio processing tools driven by its powerful DSP engine. Shape each drum in fine detail with EQs and transient processors for each sound layer and EQ and compression for the combined sound.

Process the full kit like a studio engineer using vintage and modern multi-effects, reverb, and more. And with convolution-based ambience tools and overhead, room, and kit resonance options, you can produce everything from the upfront realism of the playing position to the immersive atmosphere of nearly any space.

Sample Import
Whether you need specific sounds for cover songs or like to add a personal touch with your own samples, the V31 has you covered. Using the module's sample import function, it's 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.
Wireless Freedom
The V31 features a built-in Roland wireless adapter that links with your network, letting you audition and download sound content directly via the Roland Cloud Connect app on a mobile device. You can update the module wirelessly, making it simple to stay up to date with the latest system software. Bluetooth audio/MIDI is also available, allowing you to jam with songs on your phone, play along with video lessons, and more.
Your Personal Drumming Coach
One of the most loved V-Drums features is the onboard coach mode, which offers an array of fun tools to develop techniques and keep your playing sharp. There's an advanced metronome and classics such as Time Check and Quiet Count, plus new tools like Phrase Trainer for rhythmic practice, Stroke Monitor for stick control, and Blast Beast for building accuracy and endurance. You also get access to Drum Pass, an exclusive Roland bundle of 100 interactive Melodics lessons specially developed for V-Drums players.
Stay Focused with V-Drums Play
V-Drums Play is a companion app that allows you to control essential module functions directly from your smartphone, including kit selection, metronome settings, and recording, to capture your drumming at any time. Perfect for beginners and acoustic players new to electronic drums, V-Drums Play keeps you focused on what matters most—having fun and improving every day.
Connect and Expand
With the V31 module's multipin jack and wiring harness, pad connections are quick, clean, and efficient. There are also two analog trigger inputs for optional crash or trigger pads, plus a dedicated input to upgrade your setup with a high-resolution digital snare, ride, or hi-hat pad used in pro-level V-Drums kits. You also have a stereo output for sound monitoring, a headphone jack for quiet practice, and an analog mix input for a music player or Roland percussion pad.
Multichannel Audio and MIDI
The V31 features an integrated USB audio/MIDI interface for communication with DW Soundworks, the V31 Editor, and other music software. The USB connection makes multitrack recording easy, allowing you to capture up to 30 audio channels in your DAW over a single cable. There's also a traditional MIDI output for triggering external sounds and sending sync signals to MIDI hardware.
