  Go Deeper with Prismatic Sound Modeling Derived from the flagship TD-50X, the TD-27 sound module is filled with drums that live and breathe like acoustic  instruments. We start by sampling the finest drums, percussion, and cymbals—both vintage and modern—in world-class  recording studios. Roland’s unique Prismatic Sound Modeling is then applied to the samples, bringing them alive with  proprietary behavior modeling refined over two decades. Every time you strike a drum or cymbal, you’re not simply  triggering a canned sound—you’re playing a full-bodied instrument that responds like its acoustic counterpart in every  way, putting unprecedented sonic range at your command.

  The Natural Feel of Acoustic Drums Roland’s legendary multi-ply, tension-adjustable mesh heads contribute significantly to the  authentic playing feel, giving you stick rebound that’s customizable for your playing style. And  when you bury the beater into the specially designed kick drum, you physically move air inside  the shell, creating air pressure and resistance that feels remarkably like playing an acoustic kick.

  An Immersive Acoustic Drumming Experience With the impressive looks, familiar layout, and inspiring playability of a high-end acoustic kit, the VAD507 makes any drummer feel instantly at home. There’s a 14-inch stainless steel snare, plus 10-inch and 12-inch rack toms, a 14-inch floor tom, and a 20-inch kick constructed with full-depth wood shells, adding to the authenticity and providing genuine acoustic feel under the sticks and beater. A full complement of cymbals includes a 12-inch V-Hi-Hat, 14-inch and 16-inch crashes (both with thin profiles and textured finishes), and an 18-inch ride for superior playability and natural appearance on stage.

  The VAD507 delivers the commanding presence of a full acoustic drum set on stage—with the convenience and control of electronic drums. This premium five-piece kit features wood shells with full depth and diameter, covered with attractive wraps and mounted on double-braced chrome stands. Roland’s advanced digital sensor technology and dynamic TD-27 drum module provide the sound and response to match, with every stroke, ghost note, roll, and swell expressed in incredible detail. Building on the previous VAD506 model, the VAD507 adds a digital hi-hat for even greater expression, plus heavy-duty cymbal stands inherited from the flagship VAD706. The TD-27 module has also been updated, bringing you new kits and samples, expanded processing options,  and more.
