That low profile jazz configuration is where this kit really shines.
It's cool to see Roland step up their game. I'm liking this WHOLE line of kits.
His playing is ridiculous! I love it!
Thank you very much Gary!
Just wanted to say you absolutely killed it, and I noticed that your metal grooves have improved greatly
Thank you very much :)
Really awesome kit, looks perfect for home practice or to use to trigger vst software. also really like the new moving camera set up for these videos.
Love this set up!
Amazing drummer as always.
Thank you very much Lars! You can find more drumming/music on my personal channel over here if you like:

...It's Ralf...how can you not love it😍
:-D thank you pal!
Ridiculous playing You brotha are amazing
Thank you very much! :)
Thumbs up more for your playing than for the kit itself...lol...great job!!
Thank you very much! :-D
Great playing!
Thank you very much :)
Que bateria perfeita.... show demais!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This with a Mimic Pro Module would be something!
:-D
Yeahhh you are like a swiss swatch. Perfect 🎧🎧🎧🤩✌️🥁🥁🙏🏻

Hey Ralph. Awesome playing as always.
How many extra jacks are there for connecting extra drums? This kit looks great but I'd like to connect extra cymbals and tom(s) somewhere down the line.
It's crazy how good that little TD-07 module sounds. Is it for sale separately yet?
No but it will be soon... from drum-tec ;-D kind regards!
Love the watch
This would sound great with my TD17 module and my drum-tec downloaded sounds
I wish they would have a td50 config of this. Or something that sounds great that has individual outs
Bellissima evviva la Roland
I wish there was a video on how to properly set the hi hat as far as parameters in the settings
Used to have the TD17KVX. Bit too loud for family in the house so had to let it go - but this looks so good. Incredibly tempting to get a set.
Hey Martin, unfortunately the KD-180L bass drum will be even louder than the KD-10 of the TD-17KVX kit. The most silent option would be replacing the bass drum with a 100% Roland compatible drum-tec diabolo bass drum, which also offers the most realistic/authentic playing feel/rebound available:

@@drumtecTV Thanks guys
Dang...I just ordered this kit, because I live in an apartment. Hopefully, it won't be too loud 😬
@@mphase7575 So how loud was it? Any complaints from neighbors?
@IdeaVirus So, I had to also buy noise eaters and a special kick drum beater to make it even quieter, but it seems to be working. No complaints yet.
Ohhh good!! it's my dream!! Could you record really acoustic sound? please ( i mean whats people hear behind the headphones? )
question! can you add more pads to this edition of the TD07 ?
I think you might add another tom pad, as the VAD103 only has 2 by standard. All other inputs are "maxed out" because of the 3-zone ride cymbals. You can find more info on the TD-07 module here:
www.drum-tec.com/roland-td-07-sound-module
Feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for further assistance, kind regards!
Would this be overkill for a guitar player wanting to learn how to play drums?
Absolutely not :) you can find more info on the kit over here:

Kind regards!
Nice G-chops
Thank you :) you can find more drumming/music on my personal channel if you like:

Kind regards!
Can you add another floor tom later on? And can I possibly change the module to any other roland module? Thanks already!
Nice! Let’s get Ralf swapping out the 07 for the 27 digital upgrade or a 50x upgrade video. It could be an affordable option for the 50x.
Or a Mimic Pro.
;-D
Does the td-07 module support dual-zone pads for the toms? greetings from Argentina
lol i cant deicide should i buy the Roland vad 103 or alesis strike pro se
I like this drum kit but I would like to know if It`s possible to add in the future an extra tom? If yes, would it be possible to add the floor tom pad from the VAD506?
Yes! I got this kits a few weeks ago and I just got another Tom and it work perfectly and the kit come with a cable for the Tom so you can change any time!
Does the bass drum shell amplify the sound of the hit on the bass drum pad or is it as quiet as other without the shell ?
Great playing btw
Thank you very much! The Roland VAD bass drums are actually rather loud, because they have the same hard striking area as a Roland KD-10/KD-9, which actually gets even louder being mounted inside the shell. Probably this will be too loud for many appartments practice situations, I've recently done a demo comparing noise levels to the drum-tec Real Feel bass drums here:
ua-cam.com/video/J9Ig12wXESQ/v-deo.html
Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV thank you !!
Could someone tell me if the cable snake on the td9 works with this?
How do you feel about using this kit live? I'm digging the simplicity over the TD-17. Just local venue. The kind of playing
Should work just fine actually, yet you'll need an adaptor like this for the stereo output probably:
www.drum-tec.de/klotz-ayb-3-y-adapter-3-5-mm-auf-2x-6-3-mm
There's only the headphone out, which is not really suited for live I guess. Kind regards!
When ordering this do stands come with ??
Nice! Only 1 input (mini jack) how to connect to a focusrite (twitch stream) ??? how you do your stereo output in jack/xlr for mix table ???
Hi, for the module output you can use a cable like this:
www.drum-tec.com/klotz-y-cable-1-x-3.5-mm-jack-to-2-x-6.3-mm-jack-1-m
Kind regards!
How noisy is this compared to a regular electronic one? can I play it in an apartment?
How's this stack up against the TD-11KV?
Awesome 🔥 how is the noise level of the bass drum ? Just curious if it’s very loud to others!
Hi, love your channel's name ;-D you can find a noise level shootout versus the drum-tec Real Feel bass drums here:
ua-cam.com/video/J9Ig12wXESQ/v-deo.html
The VAD bass drums are actually very loud, as they basically are a Roland KD-10 striking area/pad mounted into a bd shell. The most silent option available would be a 100% Roland compatible drum-tec Real Feel bass (diabolo or pro series), that you can combine with any custom kit configuration of your choice.

@@drumtecTV Haha thank you 🤟🏻 just getting it started ! Very helpful info. One other quick question …. Would putting a real feel mesh head on the original VAD103 kick drum make a difference in noise level or would buying a whole new real feel bass drum be the solution? Thanks so much for your help !:)
@@mediocredrumfills1125 Hi, unfortunately you cannot put a different head on the KD-180L, the KD-10 beater area is a fixed pad. Feel free to get in touch through service@drum-tec.de for further assistance, kind regards!
Hi, excellent demonstration, a question that has nothing to do with the battery! what is the brand and reference of the watch worn by the drummer?
thanks in advance
Thank you very much! :) I am wearing a Nixon "Base" in this video! You can find more drumming/music (and Nixon watches!) on my personal channel if you like:

@@roytinez Thank you, that's great to hear :)
Do all the stands for the snare, hi-hat, toms/cymbals come with it or can I use "any" drum stands?
Hey Steve, you can use any hardware (as long as the snare stand can hold a 12" pad in this case):
www.drum-tec.com/hardware
Kind regards!
Nice………
This is insane, VAD 103!!!!! If the module allowed user samples import I could allow it, as is…….. you much better off selling the td-07 and buying a td-17 or strike module. I would most certainly buy the shell pack of this………. That would be friggin sweet. I love these Roland 18” bass drums, and the new vad toms and snares are fantastic. For the price you can not beat them
Hey Matt...
www.drum-tec.com/roland-vad306-shell-set-5pc.
VAD shell sets (or any other custom kit configuration) are also available from drum-tec :-) kind regards!
@@drumtecTV thank you so much!!! You guys Rock 🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
Hello, thank you for the demo. Is it possible to upgrade this with an extra tom?
Yes the Tom2 input of the TD-07 module is unused in this setupyou could add a third tom pad like in this video:
ua-cam.com/video/mvKuFidqdpU/v-deo.html
You can also get any custom kit configuration from drum-tec, feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for further assistance and/or an individual quote on any kit including international shipping if you like. KInd regards!
@@drumtecTVHey! Is it possible to add an extra cymbal instead of the tom? Thanks
works with EZ Drummer 3?????
hey! Nice kit! How loud is it without an amp or headphones? Would this be okay to play in an apartment?
Hey Shannon, the KD-180L bass drum is very loud, because it is basically a KD-10 pad mounted into a shell. If you are looking for lowest pad noise & most authentic playing feel, please check out the 100% Roland compatible drum-tec diabolo series Real Feel bass drums:

@@drumtecTV ah amazing thank you so much!! Yeah will check that out for sure!
How do these kits compare to Efnote kits? The more natural, acoustic, the better. Thanks for the video.
Hey Geoffrey, for most authentic playing feel, you might also consider the 100% Roland/EFnote compatible drum-tec Jam NG series pads:

This is set relatively quiet? I live on the 2nd floor in an apartment and don't want alot of reverberation. Thanks!
Hi, unfortunately the Roland VAD bass drums are pretty much the loudest bd pads available:
ua-cam.com/video/J9Ig12wXESQ/v-deo.html
You might get a customized kit configuration with a more silent bd pad from drum-tec! Please feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for further assistance and/or an individual quote including international shipping if you like.
Kind regards!
Tasty chops..mmmmmmm
Can I put the hi hat on any standard acoustic hi hat or do I have to buy a specific one from Roland? V drum noob here please help
Hey Shaun, yes you can put the Roland VH-10 on any regular hihat stand:
www.drum-tec.com/hardware/stands/hi-hat-stands
Feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for further assistance if you like. Kind regards!
Can you add a double pedal to this kit? The centre of the kick drum looks too small for two beaters.
The KD-10 can be used with a double pedal, but it's rather small and shaky. You can get a custom kit configuration with a different Roland / ATV / drum-tec bass drum pad from drum-tec, please feel free to get in touch through service@drum-tec.de if you like. Kind regards!
Is this product available in the middle east (Kuwait) ??
Is it possible to trigger VSTs with it? Like SD3 or GGD sounds? The onboard sounds for this kit are...not very good.
Yes, any Roland sound module has a midi/usb out. Kind regards!
Can the larger sized ride be used with this module?
Hey Graham, sure the TD-07 has the same trigger settings menu as the TD-17 & is fully compatible with all Roland / drum-tec & ATV pads / cymbals. Kind regards!
I´m thinking of getting the Snare from this kit (Roland PDA120LS-BK) Does it support positional sensing? What type of triggers does it have? Hot Spot issues? Thanks!
Hi Juan, no the PDA-120LS does not support positional sensing, as it does not have a combined mid-side trigger system, but 3 side trigger cones (to reduce hot spotting in the center). You can find more info on the pad here:
www.drum-tec.com/roland-pda-120l-sbk-12-snare-pad
Feel free get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for any further questions kind regards!
@@drumtecTV Thank you! Is there any e-snare that has no hotspot and can also have positional sensing? Thanks!
@@JuanJacinto Hi Juan, it also depends which module you are using (TD-17 has no positional sensing anyhow). If you use a TD-27 or TD-50(X) module that support this feature, you might either use any drum-tec diabolo/pro series pad or the Roland PD-140DS digital snare. Kind regards!
How expendable is this kit? Adding a dual zone cymbal and a BT1 trigger pad would be possible? kind regards
When using the CY-13R ride with all 3 zones on this kit, unfortunately the TD-07 inputs are maxxed out. Please feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for further assistance if you like. Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV I will because the more I look the more your Jam NG line seems a great value. Thanks for your answer cheers
I wonder whats the difference between the pads of this kit and a Roland VAD706 for example, its just the size? or they do come with a better sensor??
Hi, the pads are very different in size/triggers/materials etc, also the VAD706 comes with completely different cymbals/hh controller and the TD-50X module, while VAD103 has the TD-07.
You can find detailed info on all kits/pads/modules over here:
www.drum-tec.com/sets
Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV thanks!! I will check
Can you add a 2nd crash to this setup? Or add the 15 in Ride and use the included 13 in Ride as the 2nd crash?
Yes you can, but only if you use the ride with 2 zones. If you use all 3 zones, then the inputs of the module will be maxed out. Kind regards!
With 2 zone you still have the bell function ?
How do you get the footsplash with the VH-10?
Hi Thomas, if the VH-10 is calibrated correctly (open/close) inside of the module, you can easily execute a foot splash articulation. Kind regards!
Great playing as always, but seriously i don’t hear much difference compared to my old TD12, still the same Roland sound.
Thank you Harry! :)
Ok cool chops how about run through the sounds
Already did that on the TD-07KV kit :)
ua-cam.com/video/PNzHRh1zMcM/v-deo.html
Same TD-07 module... kind regards!
This kit would be perfect if it allowed even 1 more expansion slot for a cymbal.
I just looked over the owners manual for this module. Looks like it has a Tom 4 input that you could easily use an extra cymbal with if you don't intend on adding another tom to your setup.
@@RADERFPV cool! Thanks for looking it up and posting! Very much appreciated:)
@@StereoAnthony 👍
@@RADERFPV Hey guys, the TD-07 module is fully maxed out with the 3-zone ride which takes up the crash 2 input. There are no further inputs / no tom4, you'd have to step up to the TD-17 for one more aux input. Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV Oh, okay, thank you so much. That's too bad, but sort of understandable at this price point.
Could you add more electronic cymbals to this module if you wanted to ?
Hey Luke, the TD-07 module unfortunately is completely maxed out using the 3 zone ride. If you were only using the ride as dual zone, you'd have a second crash input. You'll find more infos on the module over here:
www.drum-tec.com/roland-td-07-soundmodul
Kind regards!
Thank you very much for this great answer 😊
do these feel like acoustic sets?
Hi, there are many great electronic drums options these days :) the more you "climb up the ladder", the closer feel/playability & sounds get to a real acoustic kit (without being loud & having lots of flexibility with the sounds).
You might check out the drum-tec Silent Studio Sessions as a current state-of-the-art example of what's possible with electronic drums if you like:
ua-cam.com/play/PLfdIgOnHCc5piPaMAnQ1mzLKPpWdzKVuq.html
Please feel free to get in touch through service@drum-tec.de for further assistance if you like. Kind regards!
is there dual zone on the toms
No as far as I know the TD-07 only has mono triggering on the tom inputs. You might get in touch through service@drum-tec.de again to make sure. Kind regards!
Does this module have stereo line out? I’ve heard another review this kit can’t be used for gigs or live play etc due to no line out.
The TD-07 module only has the stereo headphone out, you might use an adapter like this to use it as a stereo output:
www.drum-tec.com/klotz-ayb-3-y-adapter-3.5-mm-to-2x-6.3-mm
Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV Nifty workaround! So then the adapter would connect to RCA cables for stereo output?
@@neatbeat1344 No it's 3.5 mm to 2x 6.3 mm TRS
How did get xstick working? I thought that td07 doesnt support xstick
Hey anton, you can activate the cross stick articulation in the module menu. Kind regards!
Checked on Amazon that this drumkit does not support rim shots. Is that true? This is a big problem for a drumset at this price point
Hi, you can find more info on the TD-07 sound module over here:
www.drum-tec.com/roland-td-07-sound-module
You can apply rim shot & cross stick articulation on the snare, as with any other Roland sound module. Don't know who's spreading such info on amazon, but he obviously didn't know how to activate the cross stick in the TD-07 trigger menu (reading the manual actually helps) ;-D
Kind regards!
How bout the hi hat feel? I got dtx and i dont like the hi hat.
The Roland VH-10 is a continuous controller, while the Yamaha RHH135 is a stepped one. So generally speaking, hihat triggering & opening/closing will probably feel more "fluid" on Roland. Kind regards!
Vad103, Vad306, or Vad307 which one would y’all prefer?
Depends which module you need / prefer in the first place. VAD103 only has the TD-07, while VAD306 / 307 have the TD-17.
The 307 has a new TD-17 V2 firmware with some new sounds & features, and also the new thin cymbal pads CY-14R-T and CY-12C-T, which makes the kit superior to the VAD306 in my opinion. It's a budget question in the end really :)
You can actually get any custom kit configuration from drum-tec also, feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for further assistance at any time. Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV i see what you mean i guess what I was trying to ask was the quality of the drums and cymbals in these kits and which one feels/plays the best for the price. Last thing I want is to spend thousands of dollars on a electronic drum kit that glitches if I play the cymbals to fast lol
@@dracorex280 The pads of all 3 kits are the same Roland models actually, the difference in cymbal pads I tried to explain above. No Roland module/pad will ever glitch :) You'll find more info on all three kits over here if you like:

Hey Juan, so sorry to hear that. Did you get in touch with the guys through experts@drum-tec.de for an individual quote incl. shipping? Maybe they can work something out for you. Kind regards!
:)
:) ... this might establish as our running gag ;)
@@drumtecTV ;-D
Pretty pointless Kit. The VAD306 costs 250 bucks more (Europe) but has one more Tom and one more Crash Cymbal. It also has the better Modul (TD-17).
Couldnt Roland have at least give it a 16" Ride instead of the 13"? Why does Roland sell those anyway?
I would think the VAD 103 would come in at $1500 USD seeing the VAD 306 is priced $2500 in the states
