Roland VAD103 - V-Drum Set  

The VAD103 is a fine digital drum kit with great value for money from Roland. Roland produces high-quality digital audio products, and are the most popular on the market when it comes to digital drum kits. This drum kit is part of the VAD series. Within this series, digital drum kits are made that look acoustic. Roland found that the simple appearance of a digital drum kit can make for a less authentic experience. So the drum kits within this series are designed to look and feel like acoustic drum kits. In addition, the drum kits still have all the advantages of digital drum kits.

The Drum Kit

The VAD103 is one of the cheapest in the series. The set comes with a drum module, a snare, a tom, a floor tom, a hi-hat, a crash, a ride, a kick and two stands. Moreover, certain accessories are even included, such as the adapter, the stand for the module and a separate cable. So the set has almost all the basic essentials, so you can start drumming right away. A few parts are available separately, notably the bass drum pedal, the stool and the stands for the snare and hi-hat. However, these parts are available from us very affordably. The drum kit has all the standard pads, although it is also possible to add extra pads. However, this is not necessary, and this set is sufficient for a full-fledged drumming experience.

The Acoustic Experience

So the pads have a shiny black wooden outline, making them look like real drums. Moreover, the cymbals are also black, making the whole kit look beautiful and luxurious. It also replicates the acoustic drumming experience. The pads are a stroke larger than standard pads, making them look more authentic, but still not taking up as much space as a real acoustic kit. In addition, the pads are made of mesh, instead of rubber. This not only makes the touch sound quieter, but also makes it feel more authentic. By the way, the module also has many wonderful options. The module contains 25 different drum kits to choose between. All 25 options have been recorded by professional drummers in the best studios, for the most authentic sound possible. The module also has a Bluetooth function, allowing you to play along with all kinds of songs.

Please note! This drum kit is supplied without the following accessories:

• Snare drum stand
• High-hat stand
• Bass drum pedal
• Drum stool

Digital advantages

The set also has all the advantages of a digital kit. Firstly, this means that the kit is smaller than an acoustic kit, making it more suitable for smaller rooms. Moreover, the kit is also a lot quieter, if necessary. It is possible to connect headphones to the set, allowing you to play quietly. The pads of the VAD103 are also very quiet, so the touch of the pads causes very minimal noise. In addition, the stands are made of the best materials, so the vibrations won't be felt through the floors and walls either. So this is the ideal set for the drummer who wants to keep his neighbours happy. Finally, a digital drum kit is also easier to record. You can simply connect the module to your computer with a USB cable, allowing the sound to be recorded directly. So with the VAD103, it is no longer necessary to set up all kinds of microphones next to your drums!
