Roland VAD507｜High-level professional electronic drum

In-depth application of Prismatic Sound Modeling modeling sound source

The TD-27 sound module inherits the tones of the flagship TD-50 sound module, and is equipped with a large number of drum sounds that are expressed naturally like traditional drums. First, we sample a wide range of classic and contemporary drums, cymbals, and percussion instruments in world-class studios, capturing every possible velocity and detail of the drumhead strike. These samples are then brought to life using Roland’s unique Prismatic Sound Modeling technology and patented behavior modeling technology that has been continuously refined over more than two decades. Every time you hit a drum or cymbal, you don't just trigger a canned sound — you play a full instrument that responds in every way like a traditional drum, with an unprecedented range of sounds to play with.

Build your own drum kit

With traditional drums, you can create the sound you want by changing the drumhead type, adjusting the tuning, adding a muffler, adjusting the tension on the snare drum, changing the bass drum sticks, and more. The TD-27 sound module delivers on these features, allowing you to create custom drum kits for any situation. Just strike a pad to select it, then use the physical controls and intuitive editing tools to get the sound you want. Your edits are saved automatically so all you have to do is focus on playing. You can even load your own samples and layer them with the built-in sounds to create a more personal drum kit.

PureAcoustic Ambience

New PureAcoustic Ambience technology makes every drum kit sound even better, producing an incredibly natural and immersive soundstage when performed. You can also go deeper and adjust the mic placement of each drum kit, and use the newly developed overhead mic simulator to shape the overall sound. Finally, advanced built-in multi-effects and mixing capabilities give you the power of a studio console, with transient, parametric EQ, compressor, reverb, delay and more at your disposal.

Powerful connectivity for stage and studio use

Equipped with a variety of connection options, the VAD503 delivers exceptional sound for live performance or recording work. The TD-27 sound module features stereo outputs for outputting the overall drum sound, and two direct outputs for independently sending the kick drum, snare drum, and other sounds to an audio console for independent mixing. In the recording studio, the built-in USB audio interface makes computer music production more convenient, with up to 28 audio channels transmitted via just one cable. MIDI transmission is also supported via USB and dedicated I/O, allowing you to synchronize with other MIDI devices and trigger the sounds of software sound sources in your computer.

Expand your drum kit easily

With the VAD507 drum kit, you are no longer limited to the original drum combination. Using the TD-27 module’s three auxiliary pickup inputs, it’s easy to add tom and cymbal pads to enhance your arsenal. Or you can go with a double bass drum setup for maximum impact. Whatever you're looking for, the auxiliary pickup input terminals will be the solution for your ideal drum setup.

Bluetooth wireless connectivity and built-in coaching tools

Built-in Bluetooth transmission function can wirelessly transmit the audio from your mobile phone or laptop to the sound source machine, allowing you to play the drums along with your headphones. Play along with your favorite music, or mix your drum kit with sounds from YouTube tutorials. The built-in coach function helps you practice your drumming skills and track your progress, while the advanced metronome function helps you develop a steady sense of rhythm and speed. At any time, you can record your performance and listen to the parts you need to practice more.

New upgrade

The VAD507 takes the legacy of its predecessor, the VAD506, and adds a digital hi-hat for enhanced performance, and we've also added the durable cymbal stand from our flagship VAD706. In addition, the TD-27 sound module has been upgraded with new drum kits and user samples, expanded processing options, and support for And so on.
