Roland TD316 V-Drums electronic drum kit

Introducing the Roland TD-316 V-Drums electronic drum kit

The Roland TD-316 takes the acclaimed V-Drums 3 Series to the next level, offering enhanced playability, expressive sound, and professional-grade control in a compact, home-friendly design. Combining the feel of an acoustic kit with the precision of digital technology, it’s the ideal choice for drummers seeking a refined and immersive playing experience without the need for a full-sized setup.

At its heart is the powerful V31 sound module, built on the same advanced sound engine as Roland’s flagship V71. Every nuance of your performance is captured with natural detail and dynamic response, from subtle ghost notes to explosive crashes. With dual crash cymbals, upgraded pads, and VH-10 hi-hats that mount on a standard stand, the TD-316 delivers a responsive and familiar feel that bridges the gap between electronic and acoustic drumming.

Packed with performance-ready features, intuitive connectivity, and expansion options via Roland Cloud, the TD-316 evolves alongside your skills and creativity. Whether you’re practising, recording, or performing, this kit offers a truly inspiring platform for serious players.

Please note: Pedals, hi-hat stand, drum sticks and drum throne are not included with this kit. Please see our recommended accessories below!

Enhanced playability and authentic feel

The TD-316 offers an incredibly realistic playing experience, thanks to upgraded pads and expressive triggering. The PD-12P snare pad uses triple piezo sensors with positional sensing for detailed rim and centre response, plus brush sweep capability for more acoustic-style phrasing. Redesigned PD-8H and PD-10H tom pads deliver consistent dynamics and reduced hot spots, ensuring that every strike feels natural, balanced, and true to your technique.

Expanded cymbal and hi-hat setup

With two dual-zone CY-12C-T crash cymbals and a three-zone CY-14R-T ride, the TD-316 allows for more expressive fills and authentic cymbal interplay. The ride offers bow, edge, and bell triggering with choke control, mirroring the response of an acoustic cymbal setup. Meanwhile, the VH-10 hi-hats mount on a traditional hi-hat stand (sold separately), providing natural open/closed control and realistic pedal feel—perfect for players who value acoustic-style expression.

Professional sound powered by the V31 module

The TD-316’s V31 module delivers the same advanced sound engine as the top-tier V71, producing a wide range of dynamic, high-definition drum tones. Its expansive library includes studio-quality acoustic kits, electronic sounds, and percussive textures, all fully customisable to suit your style. Optional digital pad inputs let you add a premium Roland snare, ride, or hi-hat pad for even greater flexibility and realism.

Smart connectivity for modern musicians

With built-in Bluetooth audio, USB-C, and wireless connectivity, the TD-316 integrates seamlessly into your creative setup. Stream backing tracks, record multi-channel audio and MIDI directly into your DAW, or manage your sounds and settings via the Roland smartphone app. The MDS-Compact 2 stand provides a sturdy yet efficient layout that accommodates upgrades as your kit evolves.

Learn, improve, and expand your sound

Designed for drummers who want to keep progressing, the TD-316 includes an integrated coaching system with phrase training, stroke monitoring, and Melodics content to develop timing and technique. And when you’re ready to expand, Roland Cloud offers a growing library of V-Drums Instrument Expansions—including detailed, multi-layered samples from premium DW drum kits—ensuring your sound stays fresh and inspiring.
