Roland V‑31 - V‑Drums Sound Module

Flagship power in compact form—the V‑31 brings the V71 engine’s response and depth into a module that’s quick to learn and hard to outgrow.

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 V71 engine preserves the acoustic nerve—the warmth, the attack, the groove—that makes you play longer and dare more.

Connectivity & Flow. Plug in and play more. With multichannel USB‑C 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.

Inspiration & Joy. What really happens is that ideas turn into music. The kit rewards nuance, so you start shaping phrases, chasing new fills, and exploring contrasts from whisper‑quiet to powerful. This is joy—the feeling that the instrument helps you express yourself every time you sit down.
