The Best Roland V-Drums Ever Made? - New Roland VAD716

[@edwardx.winston5744]

That dude beat this Roland kit like it owed him money.

[@michaelschack]

I've been playing Roland since end of 1992 because it's the only brand that you can really play & hit like an acoustic.

[@edwardx.winston5744]

@@michaelschack You certainly put that assertion to the test in this video. In that sense Roland should be very happy with your review. That said, I would like to see another player with a light touch work with it to ascertain how responsive it is to highly nuanced playing and a wider dynamic range of hits. Toms are easy, snares harder, and hi-hat triggering is the toughest nut to crack for e-drums to emulate properly.

[@michaelschack]

@@edwardx.winston5744 Thanks!!

[@onomatopoeidia]

@@edwardx.winston5744 you can play with your fingers and there’s huge dynamic range more than most ever put into a recording or live performance. Published music is crushed with no dynamics left because of the volume wars. Michael is an absolute master player with incredible technique so he’s playing with power as he does because he plays like it’s his last like all great performers do. You have to try one, the sensitivity and expression is beyond compare for an electric instrument.

OMG!!!! I had never even heard of this gentleman before today, but I sure won't ever forget him now!! The way he beat the brakes off these drums makes me question if I should even refer to him as a gentleman at all because he was downright abusive to those drums! LMAO!! Wow!! This was some of the most enjoyment I've ever had watching anybody play electronic drums. I am sold on these things and I love the color. As far as the music goes, it was an awesome listen.

Thanks! I actually started doing Roland drum demos in Benelux end of 1992 :)

[@ashleycox432]

Finally ROland makes a kit with realistic-sounding toms. One area of note that is never mentioned where touchscreens are concerned is accessibility. There are blind drummers, myself included, and we do want to play eDrums. But we're being left behind by all eDrum manufacturers. I've been working on this for years and sadly nobody, Roland included, is willing to implement accessibility features directly into the module even when the offer is there to develop it for them for free, so we still can't access most features of the module without memorising every menu. However at least Roland haven't taken the buttons away. Is the app fully comprehensive, I.E can it control every single feature and setting possible on the module or are there still instances where you'd need to use the module interface? Are the apps platform native, or written in some cross-platform language so they too won't support assistive software?

[@bobbyddrums1566]

They had to they were pushed up till now I thought the mimic was the best

[@silotx]

i still hear a minor machinegun sound on fills.

[@laptoples]

I'm colorblind and told Boss and Roland to simply change the color of the lights so it's not green and red like 90% of color blind people are, and I still doubt I'll see a change in that. All their amps and pedals have these colors, so I can't use them live. Luckily there's other great companies out there !

[@petrtroschenkov360]

The one should have been equipped with touch screen and control knobs anyways. Also, it is still not clear if rim click/cross stick sound is possible to get by its own if you strike head and rim( hoop) simultaneously. Usually there’s priority of one zone prior over the other which is no right thing . To me, it’s a major aspect when it comes to a snare drum. Overall, I’m glad a new product hits the market!

[@FrostedJr]

The last thing I want to be doing in a live setting is trying to touch buttons on a touch screen while playing. Also they are just laggy as hell.

[@laptoples]

I agree !!!! That's what a rim shot is !!! Both hit at the same time and it gives you that high ringing, like in reggae music. I've been trying to get that sound on my TD27 and digital snare, but it's just not even close to the same as acoustic. I love harmonics on acoustic snares. It seems like an easy solution.... When you hit the rim and head at the same time, you can choose the type of high pitched ringing ??? Right ? I hope that's addressed on this new module, otherwise, they didn't really move the needle far in my opinion.

[@laptoples]

I mean, you press a bunch of notes at the same time on a piano keyboard....lol Why not on the snare and rim ?

This infinite upgrade path for electronic drums isn't sustainable. Who wants to drop 9K for a kit that will be obsolete in 3-4 years if not sooner? Then you're going to buy another 9K kit? Don't get me wrong, I have a Roland electronic kit for recording (with SD) and practicing but I'm absolutely NOT shelling out 9K when I could spend that same money on a DW acoustic (or similar) that doesn't need 'upgrades.' This is just insane.

With Roland, older Roland pads/sets always stay compatible when a module is renewed or re-invented. TD-50 came out in Sept 2016, that’s 8 years ago…and was/still is software wise upgradable to the X version. So no full cost ever.

You’ll find they have far more dynamics than any VST. VSTs use MIDI v1 still which is 7bit and only 0-127 and 16 layers of dynamics only whereas the processing engine in V-Drums has 16000 steps of resolution along with positional, interval and left and right hand sensing. There’s even hi-res midi built in for when software catches up one day. Try a kit to experience it. Soundworks has 18 dynamic layers x 8 variation and 5 mics per instrument so fantastic to use too and feels realtime with the V71 driver. It’s very impressive.

Yeah I've changed my mind, from what I said the other day, from what I saw and heard at the UK drum show

You can have any hh sound you like. There are many brands built in and in the packs and you can change mic position, cymbal thickness, attack and release, eq, compression etc etc and if still not happy record your own and layer it up in Soundworks that comes with it. You can record 18 layers with 8 unique hits per layer using 5 mics per instrument so you can recreate any sound exactly as you like it.

Someone will knock it off cheaper. They have to because the masses of drummers who crave this cant afford it especially in this economy. Its funny when electronic drums started the thing was they looked different along with the tech. But end of the day an acoustic kit is a work of art so its cool to mimick. Had to be.

[@michaelschack]

It will be difficult for any other brand to beat this quality, hardware included. That's why you'll find Roland on the main stages (look at how many SPD-SX sampling pads you see there), V-Drums included. Many have been able to afford - the hardware quality also plays a big role in their choices - and make money as a drummer with those. Look at how many musicians are using a Mac...despite the price. So no, none other brand will knock this kind of quality "cheaper", as cheaper stands for less endurance and quality. These instruments are suited to be hit hard and loud.

Even if you went with an acoustic kit, you'd still spend a pretty penny once you factor in cymbals, mics, stands, and of course a nice sounding room to record in. If you're not going to record with it I don’t see the point, but these kits are very capable creation tools when you put the time in to learn the module fully.

Like always tons of bullshit

[@michaelschack]

How so? Why is it then you can see V-Drums used on live stages, even big pop artist arena shows?

[@galgogergo]

Same atrocious sounds with machine gunning. Incredible that they cannot overdo themselves

[@Scolecite]

I found the person that can't afford this!

[@galgogergo]

@@Scolecite why would I want to pay for this? I was hoping they're going to release something that's on par with the Mimic Pro, or at least the sounds of the Strata Prime. Too bad, it's a missed opportunity imo

[@Scolecite]

@@galgogergo Nothing compares to the Roland digital snare, hi-hat and ride. I use SD3 sounds anyways. What part of this demo has you underwhelmed?

[@silotx]

They are not atrocious they sound much better but the machine gunning is still there.

[@michaelschack]

Go check it out, bring your own sticks and headphones, come to a demo clinic. I’ll prove you’re actually wrong, except for the fact that my drumming technique is not always very dynamic 😉

[@pd2210]

Still isnt worth $9k! And ride sounds like crap. Roland needs to stop being so greedy!

[@michaelschack]

If that Ride really would sound like crap, more people would comment on it in such a constructive way. 😉

[@onomatopoeidia]

The ride has no sound…you choose, build whatever you want it to sound like or sample your own.

[@pd2210]

@@michaelschack yea, it could be just sound on my end.
