Roland VAD-316S V-Drums Acoustic Design Electronic Drum Kit
The Roland VAD-316S blends authentic acoustic presence with next-generation V-Drums technology. Featuring shallow-depth wood shells and a full-size 18-inch kick, it delivers the look and feel of a traditional drum kit while maintaining full volume control for home or studio use. Powered by the V31 module—the same advanced engine found in Roland’s flagship models—the VAD-316S offers expressive playability, multi-sampled DW sounds, and seamless DW Soundworks software integration. The PDA-series toms and snare feature dual-zone mesh pads for realistic rebound and dynamic response, while the VH-10 hi-hat and CY-series cymbals deliver natural articulation. With wireless Roland Cloud connectivity, USB-C audio, and Bluetooth streaming, the VAD-316S gives drummers a professional, immersive experience in an accessible acoustic-style package.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Roland VAD-316S is the ideal hybrid kit for drummers who want authentic stage aesthetics with modern V-Drums versatility and sound.
Please Note: A kick pedal, snare stand, hi-hat stand, drum throne, and SD card are not included and are shown above for illustrative purposes only.
