This is the kit you graduate to. The Roland TD316 V-Drums hits that perfect sweet spot where compact convenience meets professional expression. It’s for the player who’s ready for more feel, more control, more cymbals but still needs a setup that fits comfortably into a home studio or can be packed up for a gig. Powered by the same brain as our flagship V71 module, the TD316 delivers top-tier sound and a playing experience that feels uncannily like the real thing.
The magic of the TD316 is in the details, the little things that make you forget you’re playing an electronic kit. It starts with the VH-10 hi-hats, which mount on a real acoustic stand for that authentic open-close footwork you’ve perfected. Then there’s the snare the magnificent PD-12P a pad so smart it knows where you hit it, letting you pull off delicate brush sweeps and nuanced rimshots with stunning realism. Add a second crash cymbal for more expressive fills, and you have a kit that responds to every ounce of your technique.
We've poured our obsession with playability into every component. The redesigned tom pads feature offset sensors, which means no more dead zones or "hot spots"—just a smooth, dynamic response no matter where your stick lands. The three-zone ride cymbal gives you distinct bow, edge, and bell sounds, plus choke control for dynamic punctuation. Even the KD-10 kick pad is a minor miracle, providing that satisfying acoustic-style thud while keeping the in-room noise to a whisper. It's an entire ecosystem of touch-sensitive surfaces, all designed to translate your performance perfectly.
The TD316 isn’t just an instrument; it's your launchpad for growth. Built-in coaching tools and Melodics content help you push your skills to the next level. Integrated Bluetooth lets you stream audio and jam with your favorite tracks, while Wi-Fi and app support put deep sound editing at your fingertips. When you're ready to record, the USB-C connection sends multichannel audio and MIDI straight to your computer. Best of all, this kit is designed to evolve with you, offering expansion options through a dedicated digital pad input and the ever-growing universe of sounds on Roland Cloud.
