14-inch digital snare drum and 18-inch digital ride cymbal

Roland's top-notch digital percussion technology brings a more realistic playing experience to V-Drums. The digital snare drums and ride pads are connected to the TD-27 through a USB cable, and the sound generator provides a more natural expression, and you can hear every detail of your drumming skills in great detail. Multiple sensors and lightning-fast processing performance provide amazing responses, allowing you to show off your drum skills in the most natural way. Decorative sound, drum frame percussion, and corss stick on the snare drum can be accurately detected in every detail. At the same time, ride cymbals provide a wide range of sound performance, and can touch the cymbal surface or the cymbal heart to show the muffled sound.

The natural percussion of traditional drums

Roland's legendary multi-layer adjustable tension mesh drum head greatly improves the real percussion experience, allowing you to adjust the rebound of the drumsticks according to your personal playing style. When you hit the drumsticks on the specially designed bass drum, the air in the drum shell moves physically, creating air pressure and resistance, just like playing a traditional bass drum.

More in-depth Prismatic Sound Modeling modeling sound source

The TD-27 sound generator inherits the sound of the flagship TD-50 sound generator, equipped with a large number of drum sounds that are naturally expressed like traditional drums. First, we take high-quality samples of all kinds of classic and modern drums, cymbals, and percussion instruments to capture all possible velocities and details of the drum head. Then these samples are applied to Roland's unique Prismatic Sound Modeling sound modeling technology, and the patented behavior modeling technology that has been continuously improved for more than 20 years makes the sound lifelike. Every time you hit a drum or cymbal, you will not just trigger a canned sound — but play a complete instrument sound, which responds like a traditional drum in every respect, with an unprecedented acoustic range allowing you to sway freely.

Create your own drum kit

When using traditional drums, you can create the sound you want by changing the head type, adjusting the tuning, adding a silencer, adjusting the tension of the snare drum, changing the bass drum sticks, and so on. The TD-27 sound generator can implement these functions, allowing you to create custom drum kits for various situations. Just hit the next pad to select it, and then you can use the physical controls and intuitive editing tools to get the sound you need. Your edits will be automatically saved, so you only need to concentrate on the performance. You can even load your own samples and overlay these samples with built-in sounds, allowing you to create a more personal drum kit.

Double bracket chrome drum stand

The installation of traditional drums and cymbals not only exudes a classic image—it also has an impact on the sense of performance. The middle drum pad is mounted on the same drum stand used for the traditional middle drum, making the percussion feel just right. Each drum stand uses double brackets, which have rock-solid stability and can be easily adjusted to suit your favorite configuration.

PureAcoustic Ambience sound field technology

The brand-new PureAcoustic Ambience technology makes each drum kit sound more excellent, and can produce an incredibly natural and immersive sound field when performing. You can also further adjust the microphone position of each drum kit, and use the newly developed overhead microphone simulator to adjust the overall sound. Finally, the advanced built-in multi-effects and mixing function provide you with powerful functions like a studio sound console, with transient, parametric equalizer, compressor, reverb, delay effect, etc. at your control.

Provides powerful connection performance for stage and recording studio

VAD503 is equipped with a variety of connection options, which can provide excellent sound for live performances or recording work. The TD-27 sound generator has stereo output terminals that can output the overall drum sound, and there are two direct output terminals that can independently transmit bass drum, snare drum and other sounds to the audio console for independent mixing. In the recording studio, the built-in USB audio interface can make computer music production more convenient, and only one wire can transmit up to 28 audio channels. Through USB and dedicated I/O, it also supports MIDI transmission, allowing you to synchronize with other MIDI devices and trigger the sound of the software sound source in the computer body.

Easy to expand drum kit

With the VAD503 drum kit, you will no longer be limited to the original drum kit. Using the three auxiliary pickup input terminals of the TD-27 sound source, you can easily add tom and cymbal pads to enhance your arsenal. Or you can use a double bass drum configuration to show the most powerful shocking effect. No matter what you want, the auxiliary pickup input terminal will be the solution for your ideal drum configuration.

Bluetooth wireless connection and built-in coaching tools

The built-in Bluetooth transmission function can wirelessly transmit the audio of your mobile phone or laptop to the audio source machine, allowing you to wear headphones to follow along and play drums. Play along with your favorite music, or mix the drum kit with sound from YouTube instructional videos. The built-in coach function helps you exercise drum skills and track your progress, while the advanced metronome function helps you develop a sense of steady rhythm and speed.
