Roland TD-516 V-Drums Electronic Drum Kit

Roland TD-516 V-Drums Electronic Drum Kit

A Whole New Generation of V-Drums

Roland’s V-Drums TD516 is the definition of a do-it-all electronic drum set, boasting a world-class set of pads and a brand-new V51 sound module. You get the same sound engine as Roland's flagship V71 module that covers just about every percussion application imaginable. If you’re after a more personalized sound, deep editing capabilities allow you to tune, tinker, and tweak every facet of your tone, and you can even upload custom WAV samples via SD card. Looking for top-quality pads? The CY-18DR ride, KD-12 kick, and PD-140DS snare are time-tested classics found in previous generations of V-Drums, and three of Roland's PD-P Premium series toms have become new favorites of Sweetwater’s electronic drumming enthusiasts. The CY-12C-T, CY-14R-T, and VH-14D crash and hi-hat cymbals have been thinned down and revamped for vastly improved expressive potential. An MDS-STD3 rack wraps up the TD516 with road-ready reliability, keeping your setup solid show after show, session after session.

The Roland V-Drums TD516 includes:

• V51 sound module
• 14-in. PD-140DS snare
• 2 x 10-in. PD-10P toms
• 12-in. PD-12P tom
• 14-in. VH-14D hi-hat

Craft a custom kit
In addition to the vast collection of preset drum kits, the V51 module allows you to import your own WAV sounds via SD card (sold separately) to build your own instrument or integrate a specific sample into a preset kit. From lo-fi percussion samples to full-length audio loops, the V51’s customization possibilities are endless. If you’re building up a home studio, an electronic drum kit is just about the easiest way to lay down your drum tracks — no mics, interface, or excessive noise required. The V51 module effortlessly outputs multitrack audio to your DAW via a single USB-C cable for near-silent recording of studio-quality beats. Plus, with MIDI In and Out/Thru connections, the V51 can be configured as a USB MIDI interface, allowing you to retrack or trigger parts using virtual instruments within your DAW. Lastly, the L/R Stereo outputs and L/R Direct Outs are must-have features for performing musicians who regularly hook up their set to a PA mixer.

Expand your potential
While the TD516 comes with just about everything a drummer could ever want, we more than understand the never-ending need to tinker and build upon your setup. Fortunately, Roland includes four extra auxiliary trigger inputs on the V51 sound module, plus three Digital Pad inputs to easily expand and upgrade your kit. Furthermore, the V51's coaching tools will take your accuracy, speed, and endurance to heights you never thought possible. Roland classics like Time Check and Quiet Count are onboard, as well as the brand-new Phrase Trainer, Stroke Monitor, and aptly named Blast Beat Builder. Spend some time with these features, and it won't be long before the trickiest of beats and fills become second nature.

Bluetooth MIDI and song streaming
The TD516’s built-in Bluetooth transceiver is sure to elevate your practice and recording sessions. Music can be streamed directly from your device to the module, allowing you to practice with your favorite grooves and fills. If you prefer connecting to a wired external device, then no problem! The V51 features a 1/4-inch Mix In input for that as well.
