Roland TD-316 - Compact V-Drums with Pro-Level Feel

Product Description

The Roland TD-316 is a mid-level V-Drums 3-series kit that brings performance-class components into a compact footprint. Its V31 module runs on the same advanced drum engine found in the flagship V71, giving you response and realism usually reserved for far pricier kits.

Feel & Sound

It all comes down to response and realism. Sticks meet mesh like wood on skin, cymbals breathe, and every ghost note finds its place. Whether you're practicing quietly late at night or tracking tight demo takes, the V31 module—powered by the same engine as V71—keeps the acoustic nerve: the warmth, the attack, the groove that makes you dare to play more.

Connectivity & Flow

With multichannel USB-C audio you capture each drum on its own track, MIDI opens up software instruments and hybrid rigs, and Bluetooth keeps play-alongs frictionless. The app and wireless control simplify kit management and mapping so you get back to the main thing: playing.

Build

• PD-12P snare with three piezo sensors and positional sensing for brush sweeps and detailed edge/center articulation
• Redesigned PD-8H and PD-10H tom pads with offset sensors for natural dynamics and fewer hot spots
• Durable KD-10 kick pad with acoustic feel and low room noise
• VH-10 hi-hats for natural open/closed control (mount on a traditional stand, not included)
• Two dual-zone CY-12C-T crash pads for more expressive fills
• CY-14R-T ride with bow, edge and bell triggering plus choke
• Dedicated pad input for an advanced digital snare, ride, or hi-hat from Roland (optional)

The kit is mounted on an MDS-Compact 2 stand, offering a robust, efficient setup with room to add or upgrade pads later.

Practice & Inspiration

An integrated Coach mode with phrase training, stroke counting and other tools helps you develop your playing, and exclusive Melodics content for V-Drums drummers keeps practice engaging. Roland Cloud lets you expand the kit further, including multi-layer V-Drums instrument expansions based on top-tier DW drum kits.

Who It's For

The TD-316 suits players who want a compact electronic kit with performance-class feel and features—for the home studio, practice room, or as a kit you can build on over time.
