Roland VAD306 V-Drums Acoustic Design Electronic Drum Kit

The highly unique Acoustic Design Roland VAD306 drum kit is, in fact, entirely electronic. The biggest difference between this kit and the VAD503/506 is that you're getting a more compact setup driven by a TD-17 module. While the design has been slimmed-down, this kit still comes with a set of genuine wooden shells.

The Roland VAD306

The configuration of the Roland VAD306 looks fairly standard: two 10-inch hanging toms, a 12-inch floor tom, 12-inch snare, and an 18-inch kick. The toms are pretty shallow while the kit is supported by a set of double-braced and chrome-plated DSC-10 stands and an APC-30 clamp to mount the module. In terms of cymbals, you get a 12-inch VH-10 V-hi-hat, two 12-inch CY-12C crashes, and a 13-inch CY-13R ride.

The Roland TD-17

The brain of the VAD306 comes encased in the form of the Roland TD-17 module and packed with sounds lifted from the flagship Roland TD-50 module. Bluetooth functionality has been thoughtfully included for wireless streaming from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, your own samples can be loaded in and played, and the module itself can even be directly connected to computer.
