Designed for serious drummers, the V-Drums 5 Series delivers pro-level performance for every musical need. The V51 module hits the sweet spot within the next-generation V-Drums universe, putting the flagship sound engine from the V71 in a versatile hardware platform with full digital pad support, robust I/O, and seamless integration with DW Soundworks software for computer-based drumming. And with built-in wireless connectivity, it’s easy to grow your setup with an ever-expanding range of sound expansions and other V-Drums content on Roland Cloud.
The mid-level TD-516 offers premium sound and flexibility while stepping things up with a bigger footprint, enhanced playability, and complete digital pad integration. Whether tracking detailed performances in the studio or demanding more nuance from your live setup, the TD-516 provides ultra-dynamic control, deep connectivity, and the realism players expect from top-tier V-Drums.
