Roland VAD103 V-Drums Acoustic Design Electronic Drum Kit

Streamlined, affordable, and built with authentic shallow-depth wood shells

The Roland VAD103 is the accessible entry point to Roland’s acclaimed V-Drums Acoustic Design series, pairing real shallow-depth wooden shells with advanced digital drum technology. Powered by the TD-07 sound module, the kit features Roland’s double-ply tension-adjustable mesh heads, an 18-inch kick drum with an internal air-damping system, and real acoustic-style mounting hardware. Offering 25 preset kits, deep sound editing, Bluetooth audio streaming, USB MIDI/audio recording, and interactive Coach functions, the VAD103 delivers an authentic acoustic playing feel within a compact, home-friendly footprint.

Shallow-Depth Wood Shells — Authentic Acoustic Vibe & Compact Footprint

The VAD103 bridges the gap between traditional acoustic aesthetics and space-saving electronic setups. Featuring real wood shells finished in classic black, the 12″ snare, 10″ rack tom, 12″ floor tom, and shallow 18″ kick drum look and feel like a real drum set without overcrowding your home practice space.

TD-07 Sound Module — Authentic Tones & Deep V-Edit Customization

At the center of the VAD103 is the TD-07 module, packed with 25 pro-recorded preset kits spanning acoustic, electronic, and world percussion genres. Drummers can sculpt their signature sound using deep V-Edit tools, adjusting individual drum tuning, muffling, room ambience, EQ, and 30 multi-effects.

Roland Double-Ply Mesh Heads — Ultra-Quiet & Realistic Rebound

Equipped with Roland’s legendary double-ply, tension-adjustable mesh heads on the snare and toms, the VAD103 delivers precise stick rebound, superior dynamic sensing, and long-term durability. The multi-layer mesh material drastically dampens pad acoustic noise, keeping practice sessions quiet for family and neighbors.

Real Acoustic Hardware Integration & VH-10 Floating Hi-Hat

Unlike standard rack-mounted electronic kits, the VAD103 uses heavy-duty, double-braced chrome combination stands (DCS-10) with ball clamps to mount drum and cymbal pads. Combined with the VH-10 floating hi-hat—which mounts onto a standard acoustic hi-hat stand—and the 12″ CY-12C crash and 13″ CY-13R ride, the setup mirrors the exact spatial feel of an acoustic kit.

Bluetooth Connectivity & Built-In Skill Building Tools

Wirelessly stream backing tracks, music videos, and online drum tutorials directly from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop into the module via Bluetooth. The built-in Coach mode offers timing and accuracy exercises to sharpen your chops, while USB connectivity enables direct stereo audio and MIDI recording to Mac/Windows DAW software.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the kick pedal, snare stand, and hi-hat stand included with the VAD103?

No. The kit package includes the drum/cymbal combination stands for the toms and cymbals, but the bass drum kick pedal, snare drum stand, hi-hat stand, and drum throne are sold separately so you can select your preferred hardware brands.

Can I expand the VAD103 with an additional crash cymbal?

Yes. The TD-07 module supports kit expansion with a second crash cymbal (such as a Roland V-Cymbal and additional DCS-10 or DBS-10 stand, sold separately).

Do the tom pads support rim shots?

The PDA120LS snare pad supports independent head and rim triggering (including rim shots and cross-sticking). The included PDA100L rack tom and PDA120L floor tom pads feature head triggering only (rim shots are not supported on these tom models).

Can I record audio directly into a computer using the USB port?

Yes. The TD-07 module acts as an audio/MIDI interface over a single USB cable, allowing you to record stereo audio and MIDI data straight into your digital audio workstation (DAW) without an external audio interface.
