ROLAND / VAD503

The VAD503 is an electronic drum set that maintains the high-quality sound of the flagship model while providing a simple kit configuration. The TD-27 module combines Roland's accumulated know-how and advanced behavior modeling to achieve high-quality sound and expressiveness. The head uses Roland's unique multi-ply mesh head with adjustable tension, creating a realistic playing feel.

The VAD503 is a V-Drums Acoustic Design that combines the presence of an acoustic drum set up on stage with the advantages and ease of control unique to electronic drums. Among them, it is a simple kit consisting of one tom, one floor, and two cymbals. The combination of the full-size deep wooden shell pad and the high-quality double-leg cymbal stand with a chrome finish is sure to make many people think that it is an acoustic drum. In addition to its looks, it is a completely new V-Drums that combines Roland's unique digital percussion technology. You can get into the performance as if you were hitting an acoustic drum, and you can feel like you want to pursue drumming even deeper.

● Adopts the latest sound source TD-27 compatible with digital connection
The TD-27KV is a new generation standard model that uses the TD-27 as the sound source. In addition to the popular sounds from the flagship model TD-50 and trigger module TM-6 PRO, more than 700 sounds have been added, including newly added acoustic sounds. In addition, the new technology ""PureAcousticAmbience technology"" realizes a natural sound field at the player's position. You can get a sense of realism as if you were playing on the spot.

●Digital pads that dramatically improve expressiveness
The cutting-edge digital pads dramatically improve the expressiveness of electronic drums. The sound module TD-27 supports digital pads, and the snare and ride cymbal can be connected with a dedicated cable to play the sound that the drummer wants to express. With multiple sensors, for example, the snare can produce delicate ghost notes, open rim shots, and closed rim shots, while the ride cymbal can change the tone naturally depending on the position where it is struck, and can be muted by touching the bow or bell.
●Double-legged, chrome-finished cymbal stand

When it comes to acoustic drums, the hardware used to set up the toms and cymbals not only creates a classic image, but also greatly influences the feeling of playing. The cymbal stand used in V-Drums Acoustic Design features three highly stable double legs and a sturdy chrome finish for durability and robustness. The cymbal mount is designed to create a natural sway. The arm has three height adjustment points and a geared tilter, allowing for a high degree of freedom in setting up. If necessary, the arm can also be stored in the pipe and used as a straight-type cymbal stand.
