Roland VAD504 V-Drums Acoustic Design

VAD504 is a professional kit from the premium V-Drums Acoustic Design series, combining the spectacular look and feel of acoustic drums on stage with the convenient control and technological capabilities of electronic drums.

This model features a "one-up, one-down" configuration with full-sized, real-depth wooden shells. Thanks to reinforced chrome stands and aesthetic finishes, it creates the impression of a completely acoustic set both visually and mechanically.

The TD-27 sound module and Roland's advanced digital sensor technology convey every strike — from ghost notes to rolls and dynamic transitions — with extreme precision and naturalness.

Real Acoustic Feel

Thanks to mesh head technology, the rebound response of strikes is like that of a real drum. For the kick drum, the feeling of internal air pressure mimics the physical resistance found in an acoustic set.

Digital Pad Technology

The multi-sensor system in the snare, ride, and hi-hat pads recognizes the position and dynamics of every strike with high precision. As a result, all acoustic techniques like rimshots, cross-sticks, chokes, and finger muting are performed without issues.
