These V-Drums Are Quieter Than Ever Before

While the already-quiet V-Drums are impressive, imagine a V-Drums set with up to 75% noise reduction compared to a conventional V-Drums kit! Introducing the Roland V-Drums Quiet Design VQD106 electronic drum set. True to its name, this ultra-quiet V-Drums kit is all but destined to become the kit for home and apartment project studios; it also makes an excellent side kit for studios that book multiple rooms. Its pads may be whisper quiet, but they're not stifling, thus allowing you plenty of opportunity for creative expression. The included TD-07 module has plenty of onboard sounds that will inspire. Finally, for drummers seeking a practice tool, the supercharged VQD106's Onboard Coach, integrated metronome, and free drum lessons with Melodics for V-Drums software represent an embarrassment of rhythmic riches.

Up to 75% noise reduction

Many of us here at Sweetwater record drums at home now, thanks to the proliferation of electronic drum sets and the quality of drumming software, such as Superior Drummer 3. With up to 75% noise reduction compared to a conventional V-Drums kit, the VQD106 is nothing short of a groundbreaking electronic drum kit with ultra-quiet noise performance for playing and recording at home.

Includes kick beater but not kick pedal.

A complete system, including the impressive TD-07 module

The VQD106 represents a complete drumming system. The PDQ-8S snare pad, with its 8-inch playing surface, 10-inch rim, and independent head/rim triggering, is a delight to play. Additionally, the three PDQ-8 single-trigger tom pads with 8-inch playing surfaces enable any and every drum fill. You'll also get two 12-inch CYQ-12 cymbal pads for crash and ride (with bow/edge triggering and choke support). Next, the CYQ-12 hi-hat pad and low-noise FD-9 hi-hat control pedal let you get your Buddy Rich on. The KDQ-8 kick pad with KDB-Q quiet kick beater and 8-inch playing surface also features support for single- and double-kick pedals. Last but certainly not least, this package includes the TD-07 module and connection cables for everything you need to set up and start drumming.

Your perfect practice tool

In addition to noise reduction, the VQD106 kit has some incredible features that are going to kick the quality of your practice sessions into overdrive. First, integrated Bluetooth lets you wirelessly stream sound from smartphones, tablets, and other Bluetooth devices so that you can easily play along to your favorite songs. Next, the built-in metronome's ability to adjust the time signature, note value, and click tone enables you to practice many kinds of exercises. Then, the Onboard Coach function provides interactive tools to build timing skills and track progress. Additionally, there's also USB connectivity for recording audio and MIDI data to computer music software so that you can record your playing and review precisely what you need to work on. Finally, you'll get free lessons with Melodics for V-Drums software on macOS and Windows.

Includes kick beater but not kick pedal.

Reviews

The Quietest E-Drum
The hype is real, this e-drum is so quiet. I live in a space where I normally couldn't have a drum due to the noise. This kit is a game changer. I can play while my roommate sleeps in the room next door. There are very minimal floor vibrations from both pedals. Excellent design by Roland. The TD-07 module works just fine for a practice kit, but is lacking in terms of a show kit, definitely would want to change around some sounds if using this for shows.

Which isn't a knock against this kit, it was never meant to be the top tier e-drum show kit, it was meant to solve the number one problem of the practicing drummer: noise.

The drums come in two different large boxes (per the Roland support page) Box 1: 38.98″ (L)
drum set
this drumset is so quiet its unbelievable. I live in an apartment with a drop ceiling with an old lady living above me, this drumset is directly under where she sleeps. I play at 2-3 am no problems and I hit hard. I bought this so I can keep in shape for my acoustic kit. The only con I can think of so you have no time limits. Watch that clock and have calendar close by

UPdate Roland VQD-106 Drum Set
Specifically designed technology to be the "quietest" playable pads in the world of electronic drums. My experience owning a multiple variety of Roland and other brands of electronic drum sets can confirm the Roland VQD-106 is incredibly quiet to play on. The bass drum and hi hat pad design is almost completely silent.
The limitations of the VQD-106 which uses the lower priced module of the TD-07KV are single trigger pads for the tom and cymbal pads. Perhaps the potential buyers with practice only drum kits. NOT good enough for live professional gigs in my experiences but OK for practice in apartments.

It's a matter of time before Roland will create a duo
"quiet" trigger configuration with the TD-K17 as the duo trigger pads already exist. Perhaps creating a 12" "quiet" snare version also. Expect a much higher cost to this upgrade version.

The editing options on the TD-07KV module is relatively easy to understand and maneuver through if you are already an experienced Roland drum set user. Of course for the lower cost the features are much less in functionality and quality with the editing options being very basic but enough to cater to your likings for "practice" purpose goals. Is it worth the price? YES if your goal is to be able to practice in situations where volume has to be kept to a minimum and still be able to practice with conviction.


The technology behind this concept is astonishing and unbeatable if you are seeking a way to practice in an apartment without disturbing your roommates or neighbors. Yet with a pair of headphones and bluetooth playback you can be on a stage playing for tens of thousands and nobody will know it but you....
Surprisingly Well Built Technology

I questioned the high price for the unit ($) considering the lack luster TD-07 module that some reviewers left moderate reviews for. As I extracted the parts from the boxes started to realize Roland used strong heavy quality parts. The individual parts including the pads are heavy in weight and solid in design - the Roland VQD-106 is more than a practice kit and compared to other mid-priced brands is superior in quality and build. The setup is relatively easy if you Google how to setup the VQD-106:

So far so good. The Roland VQD-106 feels and looks very professional. The technology in the concept and the pad designs are fantastic... but I will update the review after a few weeks of going through the kits and editing benefits to compare to my modified Roland TD-17KVX drum set.


Curious as to why the two boxes were super heavy?

Yes the boxes were by themselves extra heavy duty for protection and a credit to Roland's commitment to damage and quality control in the delivery process against those few uncaring delivery drivers.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
