drum-tec Tip 5: Roland VAD307

The Roland VAD307 is your ideal entry into the world of Acoustic Design electronic drums and a gateway to mid-range E-drum performance. With its mesh heads and new cymbal pads, the VAD307 delivers an authentic playing experience.

drum-tec Specialists' Conclusion:

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 Tip 3: EFNOTE 3X

With excellent sound, exceptional pads, and a unique hardware design, the six-piece EFNOTE 3X sets new standards in the mid-range electronic drum market. Its meticulously produced multi-layer samples provide an incredibly realistic drum sound. The authentic sizes of the e-cymbals and the mesh head pads deliver pure playing pleasure. With this set, EFNOTE competes with the big names in the e-drum sector.

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.

drum-tec Tip 2: Roland TD-27KV2

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.

drum-tec Specialists' Conclusion:

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. Despite its impressive technical features, it remains compact, making it suitable for VST applications in a small studio. And if you're looking for a larger and quieter kick drum, you can get it as an add-on from us.
