The Latest Generation Of V-Drums
In 1997, Roland Pioneered Electronic Drum Kits As They Are Known Today And Ever Since, V-Drums Lead The Way When It Comes To Innovation. Often Imitated But Never Bettered, V-Drums Set The Standard By Which All Other Electronic Drum Sets Are Measured, And The Vad103 Upholds That Tradition With Unbeatable Durability, Precision Sensing And Sound, Class-Leading Pad Designs, And Behavior Modeling Technology Developed Over Decades Of R&D. As Part Of The Acclaimed V-Drums Acoustic Design Series, The Electronic Drumming Experience Goes Deeper With Real Wood Shells And Acoustic Drum Presence. With The Vad103, You Get A Truly Exciting And Unique Drumming Experience—Not Just A Simulation.

Bigger Pads, Better Feel, Smaller Footprint
Generally, Larger Drums Mean Better Performance—Until You Realise Your New Full-Size Kit Takes Up More Space Than You Have Available. The Vad103 Is The Perfect Balance Of Playability, Pad Size, And Compact Footprint. An 18″ Kick Provides That Satisfying ‘Push’ As Your Foot Activates The Beater But Is Purposefully Shallow For Where Space Is Tight. The 12″ Snare And Floor Tom Pads, Along With 10-Inch Rack Tom Pad, Are Sizeable Enough For An Authentic Kit Feel, But Compact Enough To Fit Into Smaller Spaces. Mounting To An Acoustic Stand, The Vh-10 Hi-Hat Cymbals Complete The Acoustic Vibe, While Dedicated 12″ Crash And 13″ Ride Cymbals Feel Satisfying To Play Without Swamping Your Space. Choose The Vad103 For A Kit That Feels Substantial To Play, But Is Compact Enough To Fit Into Everyday Life.

And If You Want To Go Deeper, You Can Dream Up And Create Up To 25 Of Your Own Kits.

The Quietest Electronic Drums Around
It’S A Game-Changer To Discover That Electronic Drums Let You Connect Headphones And Play Properly Without Disturbing Those Around You. But Liberating As That May Sound, Lesser Electronic Drums Are Compromised By Loud Pad Noise And Vibration, So While It Feels Like You’Re Playing Quietly, The Noise Spills Through Walls And Floors. The Vad103’S Pads Are Designed To Be Truly Quiet, Reducing Stick Noise And Vibration Without Compromising Playing Feel.

Unbeatable Feel From Roland’S Revolutionary Mesh Heads
Back In The Mid-’90S, Roland’S Engineers Wanted To Move On From The Solid Rubber Pads Of The Day, To Offer Something That Looked And Felt More Like A Traditional Drum Head. Roland’S Double-Ply Mesh Heads Were Launched In 1997, Quickly Becoming The Standard For Electronic Drums—But Not All Mesh Heads Are Created Equal. While Other Electronic Drum Kits Use A Single Layer Of Mesh, Roland’S Mesh Pads Use Two Layers Of Advanced Custom Material That Are Aligned Using A Precise Method, Plus Tension Adjustability For Accurate Rebound, Better Durability, And Lower Noise. And Despite Countless Imitators, It’S Still The Choice Of Drummers Who Demand The Best.
