The Perfect Quiet Practice Experience - Roland VQD V-Drums

[@thepluggy1]

Love Micheal Schack, the guy is absolute beast behind the drums

[@michaelschack]

Thank You!!

[@JRT303]

I played this kit in the Roland store in Denmark Street today. Before I had a bash, the sales person played a normal v-drum kit, then this. The quietness of this kit is astonishing. It blew my mind. Unfortunately the sounds in the module also blew. But still, so quiet…

[@WoodyPianoShack]

another brilliant demo, and looks like a fabulous kit

[@michaelschack]

Thanks! Kudos to #TeamAndertons!

[@booshting3520]

Why are all the pads so damn small. Hate that. And no dedicated ride, just 2 crashes. For nearly 2 grand, I need more.

[@laptoples]

Of course Andertons gets the video right !!!! I was waiting to see a side by side of how loud they are in the room, compared to another set. My god, Rolands KZbin channel DIDN'T even show how LOUD they were in the ROOM !!!!! They blow my mind sometimes....lol For how much I end up loving their stuff, they really need better PR and product explanations. Case in point. They come out with a product that is supposed to be the most quiet, and they don't even show it on their promo video at launch how quiet it is....lol They show off the TD07 module that you can go through thousands of videos from the last few years Plto hear the sounds of it. Haaaaaa Just clueless....lol

Needs to be cheaper or no one will buy this

[@ytscksdabig1]

0:30 forgot to plug that one in mate

[@michaelschack]

Nope, it’s part of VAD716 and it’s there for noise comparison. Watch the full clip

[@45zapatero]

Lefthanded setup possible ?

[@rpmarchant]

Did you get an answer because I had forgot about that

[@bestofmusicchannel]

So sad those drums are so expensive ... i would consider this if it was cheaper

[@RArecordingsRickValcon]

Is there an option to use a twin pedal?

[@jadergn]

in this case, you can set the hi-hat pedal as a second kick pedal, like any other kit that has a hi-hat pedal not a hi-hat stand.

[@nix_kc1620]

You can use any regular single or double kick pedal, as long as the beater hits the pad. You can even see the outline on the pad, for the second kick beater.

[@RArecordingsRickValcon]

@@nix_kc1620 so it comes with a 2nd raised floorpad for the left pedal so that they are equal hight?

[@nix_kc1620]

@@RArecordingsRickValcon it comes with 2 floorpads. One for the hihat pedal, one for the kick pedal. Roland NEQ-H and NEQ-K. You can buy an additional NEQ-K pad, and put the left side of a double pedal on it.

[@nix_kc1620]

@@RArecordingsRickValcon on other e-kits without floorpads, you can just use a double pedal, as you would with an acoustic kit.

[@markahearne3280]

Ill wait for a second hand set lol

[@masterwong3837]

A drumset is only as loud as it's loudest part, and that's the bassdrum. I don't see much sense in buying this full set (also regarding the overpricing) and having no bell-zone on the ride is for me a no-go. As a beginner even I wouldn't spend over 2000 bucks on an e-set.

[@VideoWerx]

Returned it.

[@hapiness32]

Why?

[@Darby_777]

why? I have this in my shopping cart already! thank you for your answer

[@StereoAnthony]

If Rolf from Drumtec/digitaldrumming was in a different dimension as a middle aged coffee addict, he would be Micheal Schack.

[@ashleycox432]

I'd buy one of these right away if they'd used some realistic tom sounds and did away with the pointless kits in favour of a few proper acoustic sounds. Based on this demo there are only 2 kits I'd actually want to listen to. can all the awful effects be turned off?

[@jujoboha]

yes they can and you can create your own custom kits with pretty decent sounding toms, not to mention the myriad of libraries that you can download from the internet.

[@yessitsme6884]

To be fair, this is the TD-07 module which is very basic. You can buy the VQD set without a module and couple to a better one, but that gets real expensive. The point of this kit is to not annoy your neighbours or parents by being the quietest e-drums ever. If good sound is what is desired, there are better options, but they will make more acoustic noise.

[@benjaminpeternorris]

You could always hook it up to a computer to use larger VST libraries like Superior Drummer 3

[@ashleycox432]

@@yessitsme6884 Of course. I just think it quite odd that Roland still go for the novelty kits that nobody really uses and the weird effects, when actually producing a great sounding kit even at this price is perfectly possible. They already have the samples. They don't need to cram a basic module full of high-end samples to make loads of kits, just 1 really nice kit would do.

[@ashleycox432]

@@benjaminpeternorris Absolutely, but sometimes it's nice to just play without the need for and distraction of a computer and a DAW etc, and the technology and samples already exist.

[@whatsupRocKyy]

2k!? 😆😆😆😆

[@raulalvaradodrums]

They do need to make this cheaper tho.

[@SydneyDrums]

Yamaha TCS pads are better and quieter and bigger sizes

[@michaelschack]

No they definitely aren’t - go compare in the shops. VQD hits all the minimal noise records, as in half the noise impact of the Yamaha’s, kick drum included.
