Our take on the Roland V-Drums VAD716 Acoustic Design Electronic Drum Set

The VAD716 is Roland's flagship acoustic-design electronic kit: full-size wood shells on double-braced chrome stands, with a six-piece layout of two rack toms, two floor toms, snare, bass drum, plus digital hi-hat, digital ride and two 16-inch V-Cymbals. Its V-Drums 7 module pairs an onboard library made with Drum Workshop with DW Soundworks software for computer-based playing, and wireless Roland Cloud Connect lets you load expansion kits from a phone. The headline pads are the PD-14DSX digital snare, which adds a throw-off lever and tension knob to detailed multi-zone sensing, and the KD-22 bass drum with a full-depth shell and drumhead-mounted sensor. It suits players who want acoustic-kit looks and feel with electronic sound control, at a size and weight that dwarf compact kits.

Best forDrummers who want acoustic-size shells and stands at home or on stagePlayers who record or produce with DW Soundworks and VST drum librariesAnyone upgrading from a mid-range rubber-pad kitLive players who need silent practice and direct-to-PA output
Pros
  • Full-size wood shells and double-braced chrome stands give real acoustic-kit presence
  • PD-14DSX digital snare adds throw-off lever and tension knob plus finer positional sensing
  • Digital hi-hat and digital ride track playing dynamics closely
  • KD-22 bass drum uses a full-depth shell with drumhead-mounted sensor for realistic feel
  • V-Drums 7 module ships with a DW-developed library and runs DW Soundworks on a computer
  • Wireless Roland Cloud Connect loads expansion kits and sound packs from a smartphone
Cons
  • Large footprint and heavy shells make it hard to move and store
  • Flagship build and module put it well above mid-range V-Drums in outlay
  • Digital pads and the new module mean a learning curve and reliance on the app for expansions
  • Acoustic-size shells can carry more mechanical noise through floors than compact kits

Questions and answers

How does the VAD716 differ from the VAD706?
The VAD716 moves to the V-Drums 7 module with the DW-developed library and DW Soundworks, and upgrades the snare to the PD-14DSX with a throw-off lever and tension knob. The shell layout stays a six-piece acoustic-design kit with digital hi-hat and ride.
Do I need a computer to use it?
No. The module has an onboard sound library and wireless Roland Cloud Connect for expansions. A computer is only needed if you want to run DW Soundworks software and VST plugins.
What pads and cymbals are included?
The kit has a PD-14DSX digital snare, a KD-22 bass drum, two rack toms, two floor toms, a digital hi-hat, a digital ride and two 16-inch V-Cymbals. Stands are double-braced chrome.
Is it good for apartment practice?
It plays quietly through headphones and the mesh heads keep stick noise down, but the full-size shells and bass drum transmit more low-end vibration than compact kits. A solid riser helps on upper floors.
Can I add more pads or cymbals?
Yes. The V-Drums 7 module has expansion inputs for extra pads and cymbals, and you can load additional kits and instrument expansions through Roland Cloud Connect.
Who is it for?
Drummers who want acoustic-kit looks and feel with electronic sound shaping, recording and silent practice. Players wanting a portable or budget kit should look at smaller V-Drums models.
