Roland VAD103 V-Drums Acoustic Design Kit Overview
Perfect for beginner/intermediate drummers that want to push their drumming.
Overview By GAK
The VAD103 is the first kit in the all-new VAD (V-Drums Acoustic Design) Range from Roland.
The Roland VAD103 is the most compact and space-saving kit in the VAD Range, offering a “one-up-one-down” configuration. It includes shallow toms (x1 PDA100L-BK 10"x4" Rack Tom Pad and x1 PDA120L-BK 12"x4" Floor Tom Pad), a shallow PDA120LS-BK 12"x4" Snare Pad (snare stand sold separately) and the Roland KD-180L-BK 18"x7" Kick Drum Pad (kick pedal sold separately). With the larger diameter on the playing surface of each pad, plus a wooden shallow-shell, the VAD103 has a more “acoustic drum” feel, whilst keeping a small footprint.
The cymbal pads are Roland’s premium setup, including x1 CY-12C crashes, a 3-zone CY-13R Ride Cymbal and the acoustic hi-hat stand operated VH-10 Hi-Hat system (hi-hat stand sold separately).
The VAD103 is powered by the TD-07 module. The TD-07 module comes with 50 kits, 25 Preset and 25 Users. You can use the 50 kit locations to build/customise and create your own drum kits from the 143 onboard sounds.
