The updated TD-27 Sound Module features enhanced features and advanced prismatic sound modeling from the flagship TD-50X. Rock with 75 ready-to-play preset sets, including 10 brand new sets and a range of new samples, effects and processing options
An immersive acoustic drumming experience
With the impressive looks, familiar layout and inspiring playability of a high-end acoustic kit, the VAD507 will make any drummer feel instantly at home. There's a 14-inch stainless steel snare, plus 10-inch and 12-inch rack toms, a 14-inch floor tom and a 20-inch kick constructed with full-depth wooden shells, adding authenticity and providing true acoustic feel under the sticks and beaters. A full set of cymbals includes a 14-inch V-Hi-Hat, 14-inch and 16-inch crash (both with thin profiles and textured finishes) and an 18-inch ride for superior playability and natural looks on stage.
Digital Snare, Ride and Hi-Hat
Roland's groundbreaking digital pad technology is a huge leap forward in electronic drumming, putting unrivaled depth and dimension under your sticks. Precision multi-sensors in the snare, ride and hi-hat pads work in harmony with the TD-27 module to capture every nuance with incredible definition and detail. Lightning-fast detection allows you to play all your natural acoustic techniques, such as muting the ride with the touch of a finger or switching seamlessly between head, rimshot and cross stick playing on the snare. And the VH-14D takes the electronic hi-hat to new heights with unrivaled touch sensitivity, tonal variation and open/closed resolution.
The natural feel of acoustic drums
Roland's legendary multi-layer, tension-adjustable mesh heads contribute significantly to the authentic playing feel, giving you stick rebound that can be customized to your playing style. And when you bury the whip in the specially designed kick drum, you physically move air inside the shell, creating air pressure and resistance that feels remarkably like playing an acoustic kick.
Go deeper with prismatic sound modeling
Derived from the flagship TD-50X, the TD-27 sound module is packed with drums that live and breathe as acoustic instruments. We start by sampling the finest drums, percussion and cymbals - both vintage and modern - in world-class recording studios. Roland's unique prismatic sound modeling is then applied to the samples, bringing them to life with proprietary behavioral modeling refined over two decades. Every time you strike a drum or cymbal, you're not just triggering a canned sound - you're playing a rich instrument that responds in every way like its acoustic counterpart, putting an unprecedented range of sound at your command.
TD-27 module: More sounds, more power
The updated TD-27 module features 75 preset kits, including 10 brand new kits and newly enhanced versions of the three most popular kits from the original release. New preloaded samples are available to combine with preset kits or your own custom setups. Layering capabilities have been expanded, while parallel compression options and transient shaping improvements provide even greater audio control. The module interface has also been improved for faster audio creation.
Create (and craft) your signature drum kit
With acoustic drums, make the sound your own by changing head types, adjusting the tuning, applying damping, adjusting the snare tension, changing the kick beater and much more. This is all possible with the TD-27 module that allows you to create customized sets for any situation. Just tap a pad to select it and use the convenient controls and intuitive editing tools to get the sound the way you like it. Your edits are also automatically saved so you always stay focused on playing. It's even possible to load your own samples and layer them with the internal sounds to personalize kits even more.
Double-braced drum stands in chrome
The VAD507 is equipped with the same heavy-duty stands as the flagship VAD706, delivering high-end performance and true acoustic feel. The tom pads are mounted just like acoustic toms - so they feel just right when hit. Newly developed thin V-cymbals attach with a special pivot mount for natural acoustic swing and stick feel. And each stand is double braced for rock-solid stability and easy to adjust to suit your preferred layout.
Advanced sound processing options
Use PureAcoustic Ambience Technology to create an incredibly natural and immersive sound field when you play. And go deeper by adjusting individual drum mics and stereo overheads, just like you would with an acoustic kit. Advanced built-in multi-effects and mix features give you the power of a full-scale studio console with transient processing, parametric EQs, compressors, reverb, delays and more at your command.
Powerful connection to stage and studio
The VAD507 delivers great sound for live performance or recording thanks to a wealth of connectivity options. The TD-27 module features stereo outputs for the overall drum sound, plus two direct outputs to send kick, snare and other sounds to an audio console for independent mixing. In the studio, the built-in USB audio interface makes computer music production easy with up to 28 audio channels available over a single cable. MIDI is also supported via USB and dedicated I/O so you can synchronize with other MIDI devices and trigger sounds in computer software.
Easy kit expansion
With the VAD507, you're not stuck with a static setup. Using the TD-27 module's three additional trigger inputs, it's easy to add tom and cymbal pads to strengthen your arsenal. Or you can go for maximum impact with an impressive double kick setup. Whatever you're thinking, the additional trigger inputs are the gateway to your ideal drum setup.
Bluetooth Audio Streaming
Built-in Bluetooth lets you stream audio wirelessly from a phone or laptop to the module - ideal for jamming with headphones. Play along with backing tracks and your favorite bands, or mix the audio from a YouTube lesson video with the kit. You can even record your performances - with or without backing - to hear where you need to tighten up.
Your personal drum coach on board
Coach mode supports your daily training sessions, complete with progress tracking that makes learning efficient and rewarding. Play through warm-ups, develop your sense of groove, tempo and timing, and even work on your endurance - all with a score that highlights your progress and motivates you to improve.
