The Roland TD-516 E-Drum Set is the most advanced kit in the V-Drums 5 series and combines digital pad technology with maximum dynamics and flexibility. The combination of digital snare, hi-hat and ride delivers a detailed playing experience with realistic response and the finest control. At its heart is the V51 module, which uses the same powerful drum engine as the V71 top model. Over 1,000 sounds, 200 kits and advanced editing functions provide endless sound variety. EQs, transient tools and compressors per pad make it possible to shape every sound precisely. Thanks to Bluetooth audio, USB-C multi-channel audio and MIDI, the module can be integrated directly into any studio or live environment.
The PD-140DS snare, VH-14D hi-hat and CY-18DR ride set new standards in terms of dynamics and precision. The snare captures the finest nuances between rim and center, while the Hi-Hat allows realistic transitions between open, half-open and Closed , including touch muting for expressive control. The digital ride pad offers precise separation of bow, edge and bell, ideal for differentiated playing techniques.
With its robust MDS Standard 3 rack, the large KD-12 kick pad and two CY-12C-T/CY-14R-T crash pads, the TD-516 is ideally equipped for live use and demanding studio work. The wireless app connection and integration into the Roland Cloud enable regular sound updates and new kit presets. The result: a modern, future-proof e-drum set that bridges the gap between classic playing feel and digital innovation.
