Discover the ultimate fusion of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology with the Roland VAD504 Hybrid Electronic Drum Set. This innovative kit captures the essence of acoustic drumming while providing a versatile electronic platform, making it the perfect choice for performers, studio musicians, and passionate hobbyists alike.
Authentic Acoustic Feel Meets Electronic Versatility
The VAD504 is built around real wooden shells, complemented by tunable mesh drum heads that deliver an authentic acoustic response. This setup allows you to enjoy the lively feedback typical of an acoustic drum, while easily customising the response to suit your unique playing style. The full-sized shells are elegantly finished in a premium Midnight Sparkle wrap, featuring chrome hardware that not only looks stunning on stage but also provides durability for rigorous play.
Advanced Cymbals for Enhanced Expression
This kit features an impressive array of multi-zone V-Cymbals, including the industry-leading VH-14D Hi-Hat and CY-18DR Ride cymbal. The VH-14D utilises a two-piece design and touch-sensitive multi-sensor technology, offering unmatched realism with precise open/closed sensitivity. Meanwhile, the 18 inch CY-18DR delivers smooth transitions between edge, bow, and bell tones, providing a seamless playing experience that feels just like an acoustic cymbal. The CY-14C-T crash cymbal has been designed with sensitivity in mind, allowing for effortless chokes and dynamic responses.
Revolutionary TD-27 Sound Module
At the heart of the VAD504 is the powerful TD-27 Sound Module, equipped with Prismatic Sound Modelling that allows you to tailor your kit’s sound with unparalleled detail. With 75 preset kits—10 of which are all-new—this module brings the creativity of world-class drummers right to your fingertips. It includes an extensive library of sound-shaping tools, enabling you to adjust everything from shell tone and tuning to room ambience. Roland’s PureAcoustic Ambience Technology further enhances your drumming experience by simulating the natural characteristics of playing in different environments.
Seamless Recording and MIDI Capabilities
The VAD504 simplifies your recording setup, making it easier than ever to lay down professional-quality tracks. The TD-27 outputs up to 28 channels of multitrack audio via a single USB cable, allowing for nearly silent recording directly into your DAW. Additionally, you can use the module as a USB MIDI interface to trigger virtual instruments, expanding your creative possibilities. The included stereo mix output and two assignable outputs are perfect for live performances, ensuring that you can connect effortlessly to a PA mixer.
Customisation and Expansion
With the VAD504, the customisation options are virtually limitless. You can import your own WAV sounds via SD card, allowing you to craft a personalised instrument that perfectly complements your style. The TD-27 also features three extra auxiliary trigger inputs, giving you the flexibility to expand your kit as your needs evolve.
Innovative Practice Features
