Space Saving Kit with Shallow Shells and TD-17 Module
The VAD306 is a unique acoustic design kit from V-Drums, intentionally compact while retaining the series' distinctive acoustic aesthetic. The footprint is the same as a mid-level V-Drums set, making it ideal for use at home and on tight stages. The shallow shells save space and weight, but from the playing position they are immediately familiar to any drummer. Double-braced legs with tom mounts and cymbal arms complete the package and reinforce the acoustic theme. And with its organic, expressive sound, the TD-17 module delivers all the acoustic tone and playability you could ask for, whether you're drumming at home or on the local bar circuit.
Powerful sound and realistic expression
The heart of the VAD306 is the TD-17 module, filled with sounds derived from the famous TD-50 sound engine. It features an extensive collection of ancient and modern drums, cymbals and percussion, all sampled with a very high level of audio detail, capturing every possible velocity and headshot. Roland's unique prismatic sound modeling is then combined with these samples to deliver a complex, realistic tonal range and smooth dynamic transitions between tracks. The result is an experience that not only sounds faithful: it also behaves acoustically.
Create (and make) your drum kit
The TD-17 module includes a wide range of ready-to-use kits, including 10 new acoustic presets created for the VAD306. While the preset kits sound fantastic, it's easy to dive deeper and build your ultimate drum setup with intuitive editing tools. Think of the module as a huge warehouse of drums and cymbals from different eras, which you can mix and match in any combination. Then change heads, change chords, add muffling, and even change the virtual space you're playing in. Go even further by loading your own samples and combining them with onboard instruments, creating custom kits that no other drummer can claim.
Larger cushions and more room for play
Acoustic drums are generally larger than electronic drum pads. The size of each drum adds to the overall experience, not only visually but also in terms of stick feel and physical layout. That's why the VAD306 features a 12-inch snare and floor tom, two 10-inch rack toms and an 18-inch kick, creating a wide range of natural playing. The shells are also made of wood, which enhances the authentic acoustic feel under the sticks and beater.
Powerful training tools and Bluetooth connectivity
The TD-17 module is packed with training features to help you become a better drummer. Built-in Bluetooth allows smartphones and laptops to transmit audio to the module without cables, perfect for immersive jam sessions with headphones. Play along with your favorite music tracks or mix sound from a YouTube lesson video with the kit. It's also possible to play songs directly from an SD card and record your gameplay at any time. Onboard training features help you focus on developing your skills and even track your progress over time. The metronome can be set for different time signatures and note values, allowing you to improve your internal clock.
