After the release of the Roland TD-713<\/a>, TD-716<\/a> and VAD716<\/a> It was expected that Roland would release a full line of new mid-priced electronic drum kits. At the end of 2025, Roland released six kits with two brand-new modules: the Roland V31 and the V51.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike Alesis or Millenium, Roland uses a slightly more complex naming structure for their models, which not only indicates the kit's level, but also the included module, the type of pads, and whether it's a traditional or acoustic-style set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might not always see the differences between Roland kits. I understand! That's why I've researched the differences and presented them clearly in this blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good to know: TD<\/strong> stands for \u201cTrigger Drum\u201d, VAD<\/strong> stands for "V-Drums Acoustic Design." The number indicates the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roland V-Drums 3 series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Roland V-Drums 3 series essentially replaces Roland e-drum kits that were part of the TD-17 line. These were popular drum kits in the entry-level to mid-range segment. For years, this series was known as the benchmark for affordable and high-quality drum kits. The new 3 series has been further developed and can be seen as a new step in this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
