Immerse Yourself in a Premium Drumming Experience

VAD706 not only sounds and responds exceptionally, but it also looks stunning. With its standard-sized shells, two-piece hi-hat, large cymbals, double-braced chrome hardware, and a choice of four attractive shell finishes, this premium kit has a presence that makes you want to play all day.

Choose from Gloss Natural, Gloss Cherry, or Gloss Ebony finishes, which offer a high-quality handcrafted look with varnished maple veneers and clear gloss finishes. Or, to always stand out, draw attention with the intense Pearl White finish.

Prismatic Sound Modeling: Feel the Difference

The Prismatic Sound Modeling technology in the TD-50X brings electronic drums to life like no other system, combining multi-layer samples recorded in the best studios with sophisticated Behavior Modeling techniques developed over twenty years. Inspired by the prism, which reflects a single ray of light into all the colors of the spectrum, our revolutionary approach produces sounds with unlimited nuances with every stick strike. The initial attack is followed by a complex mix of rich harmonics, just as happens when playing acoustic drums and cymbals. You can feel the sound changing in response to your expressiveness, creating that magical interactive connection that completely immerses you in the emotion of the moment. From the most delicate ghost notes and detailed articulations to the most intense performances, your drumming knows no bounds with TD-50X.

Digital Snare, Ride, and Hi-Hat

Our revolutionary digital pad technology represents a substantial leap forward in electronic drumming, bringing unparalleled depth and dimension to your sticks. Multiple precision sensors in the snare, ride cymbal, and hi-hat pads work in complete harmony with the TD-50X module, detecting every nuance with incredible definition and detail. Instant detection allows you to play with all your natural acoustic techniques, such as muting the ride cymbal with a finger, or seamlessly transitioning from playing on the head to rimshots and cross sticks on the snare. And the VH-14D takes electronic hi-hat performance to new heights, offering touch sensitivity, tonal variations, and opening and closing motion resolution never before achieved.

The Natural Response of Acoustic Drums

VAD706 features Roland's famous multi-ply mesh heads, with three-ply heads for the snare and floor tom and two-ply heads for the rack toms, providing natural stick resistance and rebound, which you can customize for your individual playing style. Sinking the beater into the specially designed bass drum offers complete satisfaction, thanks to the physical resistance provided by the air, faithfully recreating the sensations of playing an acoustic kick drum.

An organic experience that also extends to the toms, with real wood shells and traditional mounts, for unmistakably acoustic sensations.

Instant Gratification

Imagine acoustic drums that are set up, miked, processed, and mixed in a world-class studio: that's what you get when you call up a preset on the TD-50X module. Developed with the best drummers and sound engineers, these kits allow you to tackle any style at the touch of a button, from traditional jazz to full-throttle metal.

Create Your Signature Drum Kit

Going beyond presets, TD-50X allows you to customize your sound at every level, just as you would with an acoustic drum set. Make quick adjustments to pitch and muffling, or dive in and build a kit from scratch by selecting shell depth, head type, cymbal characteristics, and much more. Then place the kit in the space of your choice using PureAcoustic Ambience, with full control over room type, reverb, and other parameters at your fingertips.

Optimize Your Sound with Studio Precision

After editing the details of your kit, bring it to life even more with the impressive arsenal of studio functionalities of the TD-50X. Adjust microphone settings for the various elements of the kit, then optimize the sound with equalizers, compressors, and other processing. And to add spaciousness and color, you have a wide selection of high-quality reverbs and multi-effects at your disposal.

Powerful Connectivity for Stage and Studio

With a rear panel offering rich connection possibilities, the TD-50X module is ready to meet the practical needs of any musical situation. Stereo XLR main outputs and eight TRS direct outputs allow you to send the sound of any drum to an audio console via balanced connections. For computer-based music production, you have the option of sending up to 32 channels of digital audio via USB for high-quality transfer. MIDI input and output are also supported via USB and with traditional five-pin connectors.

Expand Your Options

Using the four auxiliary analog trigger inputs of the TD-50X module, you can easily expand VAD706 as your needs grow. Expand your setup with additional cymbal pads, a floor tom, or a small trigger pad like the Roland BT-1. Or double up by adding a bass drum for maximum stage impact.

Your Personal Instructor

The TD-50X module is packed with many features to develop your technique and make practice fun and effective. Improve your timing with the built-in metronome and Coach mode exercises, or enjoy playing along to music from a smartphone or laptop. The internal recorder allows you to capture and re-listen to your performances at any time, with the added ability to export audio (with or without backing music) to share with others. And you can further extend your exercises with Melodics™, a free desktop app that includes 40 lessons, along with unlimited access via a subscription when you want more.
