The Outstanding Realism of the TD716 Set

Roland's V-Drums continue to push the envelope, seamlessly integrating the physical presence of acoustic drums with the company's world-leading digital percussion technology. Now, the TD716 electronic drum set, led by its remarkable V71 drum sound module, comes poised to take this realism to new heights. First, the V71 electronic drum sound module features 200 drum kits, and over 1,000 instruments, representing an entire percussion universe at your fingertips. A new multi-sampled sound library, created in collaboration with DW, ensures that you're getting the most authentic drum sounds available. The DW Soundworks software instrument makes for seamless transitioning to a computer-based setup while the Roland Cloud Connect mobile app wirelessly downloads new instrument expansions to stay up to date. There's also a 6-month Roland Cloud Ultimate membership, a large color display and updated user interface, studio-grade EQs, compressors, and reverb — plus, you can import your own samples. And with Roland's top-of-the-line drum pads and cymbal triggers powering this astounding 6-piece electronic kit, calling its playability "unmatched" would be an understatement.

Mind-blowing playability

Every drummer knows that when it comes to electronic playability, few can match the design and functionality of Roland's V-Drums — and the TD716 kit reinforces this notion. This 6-piece electronic drum set comes outfitted with two 10-inch tom pads, two 12-inch tom pads a 18-inch kick tower, and Roland's highly capable PD-14DSX 14-inch snare pad. With the lifelike responsiveness of its mesh heads and Roland's powerful triggering capabilities, acoustic drummers will feel right at home behind the kit. The TD716 also bundles in two 16-inch crash cymbal pads, an 18-inch ride cymbal pad, and 14-inch hi-hat pads that rebound with astonishing realism to match the rest of the kit.

Kick pedal, snare stand, hi-hat stand, and drum throne are not included.

Your new studio nucleus

Drummers who use Roland V-Drums 7 series kits and double dip as producers will be thrilled to have the V71 as their new studio mothership. The V71 module doubles as a multichannel USB interface with 32 discrete audio channels and MIDI. Additionally, there are balanced main XLR and 1/4-inch outputs, eight balanced 1/4-inch direct audio outputs, three digital trigger inputs, and 14 analog trigger inputs. Still not satisfied? How about Bluetooth audio/MIDI for wireless music streaming and MIDI recording with your smartphone? The V71 ticks all the boxes — it's a complete drumming/producing/practicing tool in one sleek unit.

The most realistic drum sounds available

DW Soundworks represents a revolutionary virtual instrument designed to provide creators with authentic drum sounds. Offering a comprehensive collection of drum sounds that cater to a wide array of musical styles and genres, DW Soundworks is an invaluable resource for drummers, producers, and songwriters. With its ability to serve as a virtual studio instrument (VST) and as a drum sample library inside digital audio workstations (DAWs) for creating acoustic drum tracks, DW Soundworks is a go-to solution for musicians looking to incorporate high-quality drum sounds into their productions.

Keep it fresh

With the Roland Cloud Connect mobile app and the included Roland Cloud Ultimate membership, your V71 module will always stay up to date. First, the Roland Cloud Connect app works in conjunction with the WC-1 wireless adapter (sold separately) to install sounds directly from your iOS/Android mobile device. This setup enables seamless wireless connectivity, making it easy to update and expand your V71's sound library without needing a computer. Second, the Roland Cloud Ultimate membership is the highest tier of Roland's subscription service, providing access to an extensive library of Roland's iconic sounds, including synthesizers, drum machines, and other instruments. Finally, the companion V71 Editor software and enhanced V-Edit tools will help you craft your own unique sonic signature from studio to stage.

V-Drums software editor!

One of Roland’s most often received requests for its V-Drums has been a software-based editor. Well, now it’s here! Simply jump on Roland Cloud, where you’ll find it as a free download. Your instrument changes are instantly reflected in both the module and editor software, and the module’s audio processing tools are accessible as well, allowing you to shape tones with a similar workflow to music production software. The ability to alter your V71’s sounds using a larger computer screen with mouse control is a very welcome addition, indeed!

SPD-SX/SPD-SX Pro not included.

Reviews

Absolutely Incredible
I don't even know where to start. I am a veteran of Yamaha, Alesis, and mid-level Roland kits. This kit is extremely expensive, so I had high hopes that it was worth the cost. This far surpasses all expectations in every way. I am not going to weigh down this review with details of why the kit and module are so incredible (since that information is well documented all over the internet).

I will say however... that every piece of hardware is so incredibly well conceived and manufactured. There is a "feel" to hardware that is manufactured with quality and engineering prowess. This entire kit has that feel. The V71 module continues that feel. The module is heavy, surprisingly heavy, because it is made to take abuse... it's made for pros. The level of customization is far beyond anything I have dealt with on other kits, and far beyond anything I had imagined I would ever see in an E-Kit.

Just the fact that I can record up to 32 independent AUDIO tracks directly from the module to Logic Pro (via USB), is a game changer. I can't imagine why I would need 32 realtime audio tracks, as the 10 tracks I am currently recording in real time covers the kit. Maybe it's possible to export different pad zones, rims, etc to separate tracks? Guess I'l find out someday. I also know that I could record 32 midi tracks... wondering if it's possible to record both midi and audio at the same time? funny thing is, all of my "wondering" is just because it seems almost like there is no end to the thoughtful implementation by the engineers of this module. Feels like Drummers and Recording Engineers worked closely with Roland to make this module and kit.

There really are no words to describe how luxurious this kit feels and sounds. The quality is top notch. The options are top notch. And I am recording all of my bands new album with this kit instead of my acoustic kit.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
