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

The VAD716 is Roland's flagship acoustic-design electronic kit: full-size shells, six mesh pads and the V71 module with sounds built alongside Drum Workshop. Its 14-inch digital snare and hi-hats and 12-inch toms give natural rebound and tension-adjustable heads, so it feels closer to an acoustic kit than most rivals. The V71 adds deep multi-sampled kits, 32 channels of USB audio and wireless updates. It suits serious players and studios who want acoustic feel and recording-ready output; it is far more kit than a casual practice player needs.

Questions and answers

How does the VAD716 differ from the VAD706?
The VAD716 pairs the newer V71 module with the acoustic-design shells and digital pads. The module is the main step up, with a larger multi-sampled library, more USB audio channels and wireless connectivity.
Can I record it into a computer?
Yes. The V71 sends 32 channels of uncompressed audio over USB, so each drum can land on its own track without an audio interface.
Does it work with double bass pedals?
Yes. The kit uses a standard acoustic-style kick drum with a mesh head, so most double pedals fit. Check pedal clearance against the hoop before buying.
Is the kit loud in an apartment?
Mesh heads and rubber cymbals are much quieter than acoustic drums, but the kick and low-end still travel through floors. Use a riser or play on a ground floor if neighbors are close.
What is included in the box?
The kit ships with the shells and pads, the V71 module, the hi-hat stand, snare stand, cymbal arms and cabling. Drumsticks, a throne and bass drum pedals are not included.
Can I change the head tension?
Yes. The snare and tom pads are tension adjustable, so you can set the rebound to match an acoustic kit or a firmer feel.
