Roland-VAD307- V-Drums Acoustic Design Electronic Drum Kit
The Original Full-Size V-Drums Acoustic Design Experience
The VAD307 is purposefully compact while maintaining the distinctive V-Drums Acoustic Design aesthetic. The footprint is the same as a mid-level V-Drums set, making it ideal for home use and tight stages. Cutdown shallow shells save space and weight—but from the playing position, they feel instantly familiar to any drummer. Double-braced stands with tom mounts and cymbal boom arms complete the layout and enhance the acoustic theme.
The updated TD-17 module provides all the acoustic tone and playability you could ask for, enhanced with more preset kits, expanded effects, and Roland Cloud support. The VAD307 also features newly developed thin crash and ride cymbals with natural feel and swinging motion, plus flagship-grade stands for rock-solid performance.

A revolution in home drumming.
Roland V-Drums are already some of the quietest electronic drums available, thanks to years of research and development, precision engineering, and the ability to monitor with headphones. Yet even standard V-Drums can sometimes be too loud to enjoy. The physical noise of striking pads may be bothersome to others in your living space. In addition, kick and hi-hat pedals transfer low-end thumps and vibrations to the floor that resonate through the structure to create audible noise in other rooms.
Enter V-Drums Quiet Design. While they may look like conventional V-Drums, every component is infused with important innovations to make them purposefully quiet. Carefully engineered pads and hardware dramatically reduce the volume of playing noises while sound-absorbing materials isolate all your kinetic drumming energy to prevent its escape into adjoining spaces.
Engineered for quiet performance.
Making V-Drums even quieter has involved painstaking research into sound transmission and construction materials, plus the development of all-new techniques to overcome the problem of drumming noise. Detailed testing in special facilities has revealed that the VQD106 V-Drums Quiet Design kit reduces noise by an astonishing 75 percent compared with a conventional V-Drums kit. The kick and hi-hat are incredibly smooth and quiet, and stick hits on the pads produce in-room sound levels similar to an average conversation.
Ultra-responsive snare and tom pads.
Despite all their advanced noise-reducing features, the snare and toms in the VQD106 kit deliver the great stick feel and natural rebound you expect from top-tier V-Drums pads. The PDQ-8S and PDQ-8 pads are built with a noise-absorbing honeycomb rubber insert covered with a mesh head. Specially placed vents on the underside of the playing surface allow air pressure to dissipate, further reducing noise. The PDQ-8S snare provides independent head and rim triggering, plus a soft rubber covering on the rim for quiet rimshots.
Articulate cymbal pads with natural motion.
The VQD106 kit includes three versatile CYQ-12 cymbal pads with honeycomb rubber, mesh covering, and venting like the snare and tom pads. In addition, plastic parts are isolated with rubber materials to eliminate vibrations. In the crash and ride positions, the CYQ-12 provides independent bow and edge triggers, natural swinging motion, and the ability to mute the cymbal by grabbing it. In the hi-hat position, the pad is paired with the FD-9 control pedal for detailed response and ultra-quiet operation.
Satisfying kick pad and beater.
The KDQ-8 kick pad delivers the satisfying “thud” every drummer wants—while keeping the sound confined within your headphones. The eight-inch playing surface supports single and double kick pedals and features a dense triple-layer cushion covered in a double-ply mesh material. This is housed in a floating frame to reduce vibration and noise transfer. Four rubber feet provide stability and further isolation, while the included KDB-Q quiet beater has a specially designed round head that minimizes contact noise when striking the playing surface.
Noise-isolating stand and pedal bases.
Our innovative stand and pedal bases complete the V-Drums Quiet Design experience, keeping the remaining clicks, thumps, and vibrations from transferring to the floor and other rooms in your living space. Special hemispherical rubber feet on the stand isolate pad noise, while the dedicated NEQ-K and NEQ-H bases for kick and hi-hat pedals also have special rubber foot designs to keep foot stomps contained. The bases have been newly developed for the V-Drums Quiet Design series, evolving on the design of our popular NE-10 Noise Eater product.
Powerful TD-07 sound module.
The TD-07 is a versatile sound module featuring high-quality acoustic and electronic drum sounds captured in professional studios and powered by advanced V-Drums technology. Personalize every sound by swapping drums, adjusting tunings, adding damping, and using EQ to shape the perfect tone. Use built-in Bluetooth to stream audio from smartphones and tablets directly through the module for seamless jamming or video lessons. And take advantage of USB connectivity to record stereo audio and MIDI in a DAW, trigger computer-based instruments, and integrate with coaching software from Melodics™ and their free interactive lessons for V-Drums users.
V-Drums Quiet Design options.
f you already have a V-Drums module and want the benefits of the V-Drums Quiet Design hardware, no problem. The VQD106PADS model offers everything you get with the VQD106 set, minus the module and connection cables. V-Drums Quiet Design components are also available separately, allowing you to expand your kit or upgrade the pads in your current V-Drums setup. The pads are compatible with a variety of V-Drums modules in addition to the TD-07, including the TD-17, TD-27, TD-50X, and V71.
