Roland V-Drums TD516 Electronic Drum Set

The Sweet Spot of Professional Percussion

The Roland TD516 V-Drums is a mid-level powerhouse designed for serious drummers who demand flagship-grade expression without the massive footprint. By merging digital innovation with an authentic acoustic feel, this five-piece kit delivers ultra-dynamic control, deep connectivity, and the legendary realism expected from the V-Drums universe. Whether you are tracking nuanced performances in the studio or seeking a robust live setup, the TD516 provides the pro-level tools to unleash your creativity.

Unrivalled Expressive Detail with Digital Precision
The TD516 breaks boundaries by integrating Roland’s most advanced digital pad technology into the 5 Series. With the PD-140DS digital snare, VH-14D digital hi-hats, and CY-18DR digital ride, the kit captures every subtle nuance of your playing—from light ghost notes and cross-sticks to aggressive rim shots and bell accents. This high-resolution sensing means your traditional techniques translate perfectly, offering a natural acoustic-like response that eliminates the "electronic" barrier and lets you focus on the music.

Next-Gen Sound Engine Powered by DW
At the heart of this kit is the V51 sound module, which utilizes the same flagship-derived engine found in the top-tier V71 series. It features a massive library of over 1,000 multi-sampled instruments, including exclusive kits created in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW). Beyond the presets, the TD516 offers deep, studio-grade editing; you can adjust drum tuning, muffling, and head types, or import your own samples to create a truly bespoke sonic identity.

Seamless Studio Integration and Connectivity
The TD516 is more than just a drum kit; it is a sophisticated production tool. It features a built-in 32-channel USB audio interface, allowing you to record multitrack drums directly into your DAW via a single cable. Additionally, with integrated Bluetooth audio and wireless connectivity to Roland Cloud, you can stream backing tracks from your mobile device or download new Instrument Expansions and Kit Packs to keep your sound library constantly evolving.
