Roland VAD103

Entry V-Drums Acoustic Design kit with TD-07 module and shallow wood shells.

Roland Acoustic-style

The VAD103 is Roland's entry point into the V-Drums Acoustic Design look, pairing shallow wood shells with the TD-07 module and a compact acoustic-style layout. It is visually appealing and beginner-friendly, but much of the price goes toward the shell presentation rather than a more advanced sound engine or larger pad count.

Recommended for
