Small, compact & cool! The VAD307 kit brings real acoustic feeling. The hardware with real drum stands and the large kick drum make the set appear more mature compared to, for example, a Roland TD-17KVX2. It is an aesthetically enhanced kit that performs well in the realm of VST recording and studio sessions. However, it is not our first choice for truly quiet electronic drums.

drum-tec Specialists' Conclusion:
This set is among the top 5 drum kits at the drum-tec store, and we believe it deserves that recognition. Many customers appreciate the authentic hi-hat response and the brilliant sound of the 3X. The large cymbal pads are not commonly found in this price range. The kick drum pad is quieter and works very well with double bass drum pedals. The hardware design makes the EFNOTE e-drum look unique.

The Roland TD-27KV2 is the Porsche among compact V-Drums in the mid-range price range. With its 75 drum kits and the sound engine with Prismatic Sound Modeling from the flagship TD-50X, you get excellent drum sounds. The large-sized drum and cymbal pads provide maximum playing surface while still being space-saving. And with the digital snare and digital ride and hi-hat pads, Roland sets milestones in position sensing and reproducing your performance.

Technology, technology, and more technology. This is the most affordable Roland set with a full digital pad setup (snare, hi-hat, ride). If you're looking for the best hi-hat triggering and are interested in a large 14" snare drum, you'll immediately love the KV2.

And if you're looking for a larger and quieter kick drum, you can get it as an add-on from us.
