The quietest drum kit in the world. When practicing at home, drummers love to immerse themselves in the experience. But those around them just want the noise to stop. The V-Drums Quiet Design kit makes everyone happy by delivering the quietest home playing experience in drum history. Roland’s revolutionary technologies make the impossible possible, letting you play freely at any time, while those who can’t see you will never know you’re playing the drums. A revolution in home drumming. Roland’s V-Drums kits are already among the quietest digital drums on the market, thanks to years of research and development, precision engineering, and the option to use headphones. However, even standard V-Drums can sometimes be too loud to enjoy. The physical noise of the pads can be disruptive to others living in your home. Additionally, the bass drum and hi-hat pedals transmit low-frequency impacts and vibrations to the floor, which resonate through the structure and create audible noise in other rooms. Introducing the V-Drums Quiet Design. Although they look like conventional V-Drums, every component is infused with significant innovations that make them deliberately quiet. Carefully designed pads and hardware significantly reduce the volume of playing noise, while sound-absorbing materials isolate all the drum’s kinetic energy to prevent it from escaping into adjacent spaces. Designed for quiet performance. To make V-Drums even quieter, it was necessary to conduct meticulous research on sound transmission and construction materials, and to develop entirely new techniques to solve the problem of drum noise. Detailed tests conducted in special facilities revealed that the V-Drums Quiet Design VQD106 is 75% quieter than a conventional V-Drums kit. The bass drum and hi-hat pads are incredibly soft and quiet, and drumstick strikes on the pads produce sound levels similar to those of an average conversation. Ultra-responsive snare and tom pads. Despite all their advanced noise-reduction features, the snare and toms of the VQD106 kit deliver the playing feel and natural rebound you expect from top-tier V-Drums pads. The PDQ-8S and PDQ-8 pads feature a noise-absorbing honeycomb rubber insert covered with a mesh head. Strategically placed vents on the underside of the playing surface allow air pressure to dissipate, further reducing noise. The PDQ-8S snare pad offers independent trigger detection for the head and rim, as well as a soft rubber coating on the rim for silent rimshots. Hinged cymbal pads with natural movement. The VQD106 set includes three versatile CYQ-12 cymbal pads with honeycomb rubber, mesh covering, and ventilation, similar to the snare and tom pads. Additionally, the plastic parts are isolated by rubber materials to eliminate vibrations. In crash and ride positions, the CYQ-12 pad offers independent surface and rim triggers, natural swinging motion, and the ability to mute the cymbal by gripping it. In hi-hat position, the pad is paired with the FD-9 control pedal for detailed response and ultra-quiet operation. The bass drum pad and beater are satisfying. The KDQ-8 bass drum pad produces the satisfying “thud” you’re looking for, while keeping the sound confined to your headphones. The 8-inch playing surface is compatible with single and double bass drum pedals and features a dense three-layer cushion covered with double-layer mesh material. It is housed in a floating frame to reduce vibrations and noise transfer. Four rubber feet ensure stability and better isolation, while the included KDB-Q silent beater features a round head specially designed to reduce contact noise when striking the playing surface. Sound-isolating stands and pedals. Roland’s innovative stands and pedals enhance the V-Drums Quiet Design experience by preventing clicks, noise, and vibrations from spreading to the floor and other rooms in your home. The stand’s hemispherical rubber feet isolate floor noise, while the NEQ-K and NEQ-H bases for the bass drum and hi-hat pedals also feature special rubber feet to minimize foot noise. The stands have been newly developed for the V-Drums Quiet Design series, drawing inspiration from the design of Roland’s renowned NE-10 Noise Eater. Powerful TD-07 sound module. The TD-07 is a versatile sound module that offers high-quality acoustic and digital drum sounds recorded in professional studios and utilizing advanced V-Drums technology. Customize each sound by changing the drum, adjusting the tuning, adding damping, and using the EQ to achieve the perfect sound. Use the built-in Bluetooth functionality to stream audio from a smartphone or tablet directly through the module, enabling seamless jam sessions or video lessons. And take advantage of USB connectivity to record stereo audio and MIDI into a digital audio workstation, trigger instruments on your computer, and integrate with Melodics’ coaching software and its free interactive lessons for V-Drums users. V-Drums Quiet Design Options. If you already own a V-Drums module and want to enjoy the benefits of V-Drums Quiet Design hardware, no problem. The VQD106PADS model offers everything you get with the VQD106 kit, except for the module and connection cables. V-Drums Quiet Design components are also sold 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. Features:
