Explore The V-Drums 3 Series Drum Sets

Next-level drumming starts here.

The V-Drums 3 Series brings next-gen V-Drums expression and flexibility to three compact kits for daily practice and home recording. The V31 sound module features the same flagship-grade engine as the V71 and V51 modules in Roland's premium kits, delivering rich, multi-sampled onboard sounds and a seamless transition to DW Soundworks software for computer-based drumming. You also get powerful tools for skill development and jamming, updated components for enhanced playability, and built-in wireless connectivity to access an ever-expanding range of sound expansions and other V-Drums content on Roland Cloud.

With the V-Drums 3 Series under your sticks, the high-end V-Drums experience has never been so accessible and affordable.

Sound

Premium sound.

The V31 module is part of a unified ecosystem with the V71 and V51, providing full cross-compatibility across V-Drums modules for the first time. Drum with the same core sound library created for the V-Drums 7 Series. And stay inspired with Roland Cloud content for V-Drums, including multi-layered V-Drums Instrument Expansions based on premium DW drum sets.

Flagship audio quality.

In developing the V71 module for the acclaimed V-Drums 7 Series, Roland built an entirely new onboard sound library in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW), bringing unmatched realism and creative command to V-Drums. The V31 module is equipped with the same internal engine as the V71, giving you the identical sounds and expansion path in a streamlined interface. Crafted from a hand-picked selection of the world’s finest drum sets, these record-ready sounds deliver the detail, punch, and sonic quality found in the most expensive computer collections.

New sounds, on demand.

Just like the V71, you can freely change up the sound set within the V31 module to keep your music fresh. Open the Roland Cloud Connect app on your mobile device to access a growing range of V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles via your wireless network. Then, find the sounds you want, download them directly to the module, and start drumming immediately.

Choose your perspective.

Drum sounds exist in two distinct universes. One is the intimate, up-close sound of the drums when you’re behind the kit. The second is the produced sound you hear in recordings and live concerts, which is typically processed with EQs, compressors, and ambience. Some V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles have been specially mixed for both the drummer and producer positions, letting you create the playing experience you want at the touch of a button.

Unrivaled expression.

Like top-tier drum sound libraries for computers, the V31 module features multi-layer sample playback and round-robin randomization for natural sound and an inspiring feel that’s second to none in electronic drumming. Roland's proprietary behavior modeling adds the finishing touch, refining the sound with smooth, artifact-free transitions for every articulation.

Flexible Platform

Two ways to play.

A V-Drums 3 Series kit gives you a consistent drumming platform for every creative session. Practice, jam, and learn with your standalone hardware setup, then seamlessly transition to computer-based drumming and recording with the same familiar sounds.

Ready-to-play hardware.

With its ergonomic panel layout and streamlined interface, the V31 is simple for anyone to operate. Quickly call up kits, adjust sounds on the fly, and lose yourself with a full slate of onboard skill-developing tools. When you’re done for the day, use the module’s convenient tray to keep your sticks ready for the next playing session.

Computer-based drumming.

Every V-Drums 3 Series kit can trigger sounds in DW Soundworks,* a revolutionary drum software instrument that runs as a standalone computer application or a DAW plug-in. Many DW Soundworks expansions mirror V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles, allowing you to transition to software-based drumming with the identical sound and response as the module.

*Included with Roland Cloud Ultimate membership.

Expand your world.

On Roland Cloud, you’ll never run out of fresh inspiration for your drumming journeys. V-Drums Instrument Expansions add all-new drum kits to the module, recorded using the same detailed process as the core library. Up to six expansions can be active at once, and you can freely exchange kicks, snares, cymbals, and other components between different kits. Roland also offers V-Drums Kit Packs created by top drummers and producers, including many titles for playing with spot-on recreations of the kits used in the most influential songs of all time.

Roland Cloud membership included.

Purchasing a V-Drums 3 Series kit includes six months of the Roland Cloud Ultimate membership tier, giving you untethered access to V-Drums Instrument Expansions, V-Drums Kit Packs, DW Soundworks, and more. Subscribe after the trial ends and stay up to date with Roland's ever-expanding release roadmap. Or skip membership and keep your favorite selections forever with Lifetime Key purchases.

Module Highlights

Inside the V31.

The V31 distills the sound engine and essential features of the V71 into an inviting interface that keeps you centered on playing and improving.

Streamlined power.

With a large color display, direct controls, and an intuitive menu structure, it’s easy to access kits, volume levels, backing music, practice tools, and more. Everything’s underpinned with ultra-powerful DSP and expanded waveform memory, unlocking a universe of creative expression.

Editing made simple.

The V31’s kits come ready to play, allowing you to experience world-class sounds with the turn of a dial. To add a personal touch, press the EZ Edit button to quickly change up kick and snare sounds, adjust pitch and damping, balance drum and cymbal levels, and more. If you want to go even further, dive into the module’s deeper editing tools or use the V31 Editor on your Mac or Windows computer.

The V31 Editor will be available in late 2025.

Your personal drumming coach.

One of the most loved V-Drums features is the onboard coach mode, which offers an array of fun tools to develop techniques and keep your playing sharp. There’s an advanced metronome and classics such as Time Check and Quiet Count, plus new tools like Phrase Trainer for rhythmic practice, Stroke Monitor for stick control, and Blast Beast for building accuracy and endurance. V-Drums 3 Series kits also include Drum Pass, an exclusive Roland bundle of 100 Melodics™ interactive lessons specially developed for V-Drums players.

Stay focused with V-Drums Play.

By design, all V-Drums modules are very easy to use. But if you want an even more streamlined experience, V-Drums Play is for you. This companion app provides direct control of essential module functions from your smartphone, including kit selection, metronome settings, and recording to capture your drumming at any time. Perfect for beginners and acoustic players new to electronic drums, V-Drums Play keeps you focused on what matters most—having fun and improving every day.

The V-Drums Play app will be available in late 2025.

Wireless freedom.

The V31 features a built-in Roland wireless adapter that links with your network, letting you audition and download sound content directly via the Roland Cloud Connect app on a mobile device. You can update the module wirelessly, making it simple to stay up to date with the latest system software. Bluetooth audio/MIDI is also available, allowing you to jam with songs on your phone, play along with video lessons, and more.

Connect and expand.

With the V31 module’s multi-pin jack and wiring harness, pad connections are quick, clean, and efficient. There are also two analog trigger inputs for optional crash or trigger pads, plus a dedicated input to upgrade your setup with a high-resolution digital snare, ride, or hi-hat pad used in pro-level V-Drums kits. You also have a stereo output for sound monitoring, a headphone jack for quiet practice, and an analog mix input for a music player or Roland percussion pad.

Multi-channel audio and MIDI.

Use the module’s integrated USB audio/MIDI interface to communicate with DW Soundworks, the V31 Editor, and other music software. And when you’re ready to dive into computer music production, you can capture up to 30 audio channels in a DAW over a single cable.

The V31 Editor will be available in late 2025.

V-Drums playability and expression.

The sound engine is the core of any electronic drum system, but it’s the pad interface that connects you with the sound. All V-Drums 3 Series kits offer ultra-responsive feel and acoustic-style playability, backed by nearly 30 years of continual V-Drums development and Roland’s steadfast dedication to delivering the finest playing experience available.

Various V-Drums 3 Series kit features include attractive new tom pad designs to boost playability, larger floor toms for natural layouts, and updated hardware for additional setup flexibility. And with their satisfying acoustic feel, Roland's multi-layer mesh heads remain the best you can get in electronic drumming.

Satisfying snares.

Each V-Drums 3 Series kit includes an expressive 12-inch snare pad with a tension-adjustable dual mesh head, independent head and rim triggering, and cross-stick support. The PDX-12 (TD313) has a low-profile rubber rim for natural acoustic feel, while the new PD-12P (TD316) features a chrome hoop and triple piezo sensors for hot spot elimination and enhanced response. The PDA120LS (VAD316) offers outstanding playability with advanced sensors and a shallow-depth wood shell for an acoustic look.

Rock-solid kick drums.

Roland kick pads deliver that deep, satisfying “thud” every drummer wants—while also keeping in-room noise in check. The time-tested KD-10 comes with the TD313 and TD316, providing great feel in a compact footprint. And with the KD-18-BK in the VAD316, you get a full-depth wood shell and an innovative pad sensor system built into an acoustic drumhead for authentic feel and rebound. All models support single and double pedals, and each kit comes with the KDP-5, a replaceable patch that slows wear and allows you to use a plastic, wood, or felt beater.

Responsive toms.

The TD313 and TD316 kits include new PD-8H and PD-10H tom pads with flagship-inspired feel and response. Designed for expressive and dynamic playing, each pad features a rubber rim derived from Roland’s high-end pads, plus an offset piezo sensor layout that minimizes hot spots and provides accurate sensing across head and rim zones. The VAD316 takes playability even further with two 10-inch rack toms and a 12-inch floor tom with shallow-depth wood shells.

Expressive hi-hats and cymbals.

The VH-10 V-Hi-Hat in the TD316 and VAD316 kits mounts on a standard hi-hat stand, providing a traditional acoustic playing feel with natural rebound, smooth tonal variations, and support for foot splashes and other techniques. In the TD313 kit, the CY-5/FD-9 combo delivers outstanding performance in a more compact footprint. All V-Drums 3 Series kits feature Roland’s famous V-Cymbals with natural swinging motion, dual-zone triggering for crash cymbals, and bow/edge/bell triggering for ride cymbals.

Rugged and versatile hardware.

All V-Drums 3 Series kits are supported with top-quality hardware that provides a solid foundation for endless playing sessions. The mid-level TD316 features the new MDS-Compact 2 stand, which offers a wider integrated H-frame that provides enhanced stability for larger tom pad configurations and added space for positioning double-kick pedal setups.
