Roland VQD106 Kit inc. TD-07
The quietest kit in V-Drums history.
When practicing at home, drummers love to dig in and immerse themselves in the experience. But those around the drummer just want the noise to stop. V-Drums Quiet Design makes everyone happy, providing the lowest in-home playing noise in the history of drums. Our ground breaking technologies make the impossible possible, allowing you to play without restraint at any time—while others who can’t see you will never know you’re drumming at all.
Kick pedal and drum throne not included (sold separately).
A revolution in home drumming.
Roland V-Drums are already some of the quietest electronic drums available, thanks to years of research and development, precision engineering, and the ability to monitor with headphones. Yet even standard V-Drums can sometimes be too loud to enjoy. The physical noise of striking pads may be bothersome to others in your living space. In addition, kick and hi-hat pedals transfer low-end thumps and vibrations to the floor that resonate through the structure to create audible noise in other rooms. Enter V-Drums Quiet Design. While they may look like conventional V-Drums, every component is infused with important innovations to make them purposefully quiet. Carefully engineered pads and hardware dramatically reduce the volume of playing noises while sound-absorbing materials isolate all your kinetic drumming energy to prevent its escape into adjoining spaces.
Engineered for quiet performance.
Making V-Drums even quieter has involved painstaking research into sound transmission and construction materials, plus the development of all-new techniques to overcome the problem of drumming noise. Detailed testing in special facilities has revealed that the VQD106 V-Drums Quiet Design kit reduces noise by an astonishing 75 percent compared with a conventional V-Drums kit. The kick and hi-hat are incredibly smooth and quiet, and stick hits on the pads produce in-room sound levels similar to an average conversation.
Ultra-responsive snare and tom pads.
Despite all their advanced noise-reducing features, the snare and toms in the VQD106 kit deliver the great stick feel and natural rebound you expect from top-tier V-Drums pads. The PDQ-8S and PDQ-8 pads are built with a noise-absorbing honeycomb rubber insert covered with a mesh head. Specially placed vents on the underside of the playing surface allow air pressure to dissipate, further reducing noise. The PDQ-8S snare provides independent head and rim triggering, plus a soft rubber covering on the rim for quiet rimshots.
Articulate cymbal pads with natural motion.
The VQD106 kit includes three versatile CYQ-12 cymbal pads with honeycomb rubber, mesh covering, and venting like the snare and tom pads. In addition, plastic parts are isolated with rubber materials to eliminate vibrations. In the crash and ride positions, the CYQ-12 provides independent bow and edge triggers, natural swinging motion, and the ability to mute the cymbal by grabbing it. In the hi-hat position, the pad is paired with the FD-9 control pedal for detailed response and ultra-quiet operation.
Satisfying kick pad and beater.
The KDQ-8 kick pad delivers the satisfying “thud” every drummer wants—while keeping the sound confined within your headphones. The eight-inch playing surface supports single and double kick pedals and features a dense triple-layer cushion covered in a double-ply mesh material. This is housed in a floating frame to reduce vibration and noise transfer. Four rubber feet provide stability and further isolation, while the included KDB-Q quiet beater has a specially designed round head that minimizes contact noise when striking the playing surface.
Noise-isolating stand and pedal bases.
Our innovative stand and pedal bases complete the V-Drums Quiet Design experience, keeping the remaining clicks, thumps, and vibrations from transferring to the floor and other rooms in your living space. Special hemispherical rubber feet on the stand isolate pad noise, while the dedicated NEQ-K and NEQ-H bases for kick and hi-hat pedals also have special rubber foot designs to keep foot stomps contained. The bases have been newly developed for the V-Drums Quiet Design series, evolving on the design of our popular NE-10 Noise Eater product.
Powerful TD-07 sound module.
The TD-07 is a versatile sound module featuring high-quality acoustic and electronic drum sounds captured in professional studios and powered by advanced V-Drums technology. Personalize every sound by swapping drums, adjusting tunings, adding damping, and using EQ to shape the perfect tone. Use built-in Bluetooth to stream audio from smartphones and tablets directly through the module for seamless jamming or video lessons. And take advantage of USB connectivity to record stereo audio and MIDI in a DAW, trigger computer-based instruments, and integrate with coaching software from Melodics™ and their free interactive lessons for V-Drums users.
V-Drums Quiet Design options.
If you already have a V-Drums module and want the benefits of the V-Drums Quiet Design hardware, no problem. The VQD106PADS model offers everything you get with the VQD106 set, minus the module and connection cables. V-Drums Quiet Design components are also available separately, allowing you to expand your kit or upgrade the pads in your current V-Drums setup. The pads are compatible with a variety of V-Drums modules in addition to the TD-07, including the TD-17, TD-27, TD-50X, and V71.
V-Moda VMH-D1 Headphones
The Ultimate Headphones for Electronic Drumming
Jointly developed by Roland and V-MODA, the VMH-D1 V-Drums Headphones bring you a complete personal monitoring solution purpose-built for the electronic drumming experience. Fine-tuned by the V-Drums design team and V-MODA engineers, these unique phones deliver premium sound that realizes the full sonic potential of your V-Drums set and any other e-kit. Comfortable to wear and outfitted with smart practical details, the VMH-D1 is an essential tool that no electronic drummer should be without.
Expert Tuning by Roland and V-MODA
The VMH-D1 is the first collaboration between the Roland V-Drums team and V-MODA, the leading name in headphones for DJs and electronic musicians. Working closely through many development stages, they crafted a special design that couples custom 50 mm drivers with select materials and new mounting methods to accurately translate the aggressive transients, wide frequency range, and rich overtones of every electronic drum set. And if you play a V-Drums kit with Prismatic Sound Modeling, PureAcoustic Ambience, and other advanced Roland sound technologies, the VMH-D1 brings them to life like never before.
Immersive Sound
Headphones are the connection between your valuable kit and your ears—skimping here can make or break your musical satisfaction. The VMH-D1 completes your drumming experience with top-quality performance to match your dedication and ambition. Custom tuning immerses you in high-impact sound, connecting you with the drums as no standard music headphones can. Prepare to get lost in endless inspiration with tight, punchy bass for kick tones, warm, full midrange for the snare and toms, and smooth, extended highs for the cymbals. And with the big soundstage and crystal-clear separation, you’ll hear subtle drum overtones, natural cymbal decay, room sounds, and ambience effects in full 3D detail.
Extended Comfort
The VMH-D1 delivers long-wearing comfort with large memory foam earpads and a cushioned headband that let you play non-stop for hours. Along with their comfortable fit, the earpads provide excellent isolation to keep acoustic pad noise and outside distractions from reaching your ears. Soft and attractive, the synthetic leather covering offers moisture-wicking properties to reduce slippage and keep the phones from moving when working up a sweat.
Tangle-Free Drumming
Typical headphones keep you tethered with a short cable that always gets in the way, making it easy to dislodge the phones or pull them off your head entirely during intense drumming sessions. The VMH-D1’s extra-long 3 m/10 ft. cable provides plenty of slack for an efficient module connection that keeps it far away from your arms and legs while playing. There’s also a cable restraint at the back of the headphones to route the cable behind the head and onto the floor behind your drum throne.
Extra Details
The VMH-D1 comes with a hanger accessory that provides a convenient home to stow your phones when you’re done drumming for the day. It features a rugged plastic design and urethane grip that attaches to various pipe sizes on drum and cymbal stands. And with the prominent red “R” on the right earcup, you can easily see the correct orientation when it’s time to put on the phones and play again.
Full-Range Versatility
Though tuned for drums, the full-range VMH-D1 headphones are great for music listening too. Enjoy high-fidelity sound while jamming with favorite songs, playing with backing tracks, and recording with music production software. You also get a shorter 1.5 m/5 ft. cable for casual listening away from the drums, plus a carrying pouch to keep your VMH-D1 protected while on the move.
