Roland's big V-Drum 3 and 5 series drop adds 6 kits to its e-drum range, including V71-lite modules and on-trend acoustic-look options

Roland V-Drums VAD 5 series.

e-drums powerhouse Roland has revealed major additions to its highly regarded range of electronic drum kits, unveiling the all-new V-Drums 3 and 5 Series, which join the firm's flagship 7 Series V-drums, launched last last year.

The 3 and 5 series ranges are powered by all-new modules, the V31 and V51 respectively. These are essentially scaled-down versions of the top-of-the-range V71 brain, sharing the flagship's internal engine, and offering identical sounds and expansion path options.
