Okay, okay; Although it will take me years to reach Ralph's level of expertise, I am leaning very heavily toward buying this for Christmas. Fantastic drumming skills.
Thank you so much! :) You can actually have the kit customized with a 18" diabolo Real Feel bass drum instead of the KD-180L from drum-tec (which I would heavily recommend), for a much lower noise level and super authentic playing feel / rebound: th-cam.com/video/J9Ig12wXESQ/w-d-xo.html Feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for further assistance if you like.

Well its not like us current Td17 owners can download it yet, my excitement for it is starting to die down and now Im looking at buying Superior Drummer. I REALLY hate being teased for months and months about an update. I really think they just want people to buy a new TD17 module to get the update rather than make it available to current owners.
Sounds so great and so well played Ralph, thank you. I'm noticing a lot of movement in the snare and bass? Is that due to the light weight nature of the kit and do you think the ef-note 3x was sturdier?
it's really a great sound, but unless I overlooked, there is one thing missing : what does it sound like "from the outside".Is the kit neighbour friendly?

Thank you so much Ralph for this upload. The new sounds, for me, are a great adition to the TD-17 module (2.0). The new 20 drum kits sounds very good. Once again your drumming is amazing. Let´s see if Roland update the prior modules like mine TD-17KV (version 1.2). Cheers. Paulo aka Astronaut2005 Drummer.
@@Jingles8302 I saw yesterday, but I got a problem... my desktop has windows 10 and the new firmware it's only available via Roland Cloud software and needs the windows 11 to install. I'm sad about this. I need someone to share the new firmware to update my td17 module.
Thank you very much! I really like the new thin 12 & 14" cymbals, and also think the software upgrade for the TD-17 is very nice. Haven't had the chance to check out the TD-27 upgrade yet unfortunately. Kind regards!
Hi Ralf mate, hope you ok. Listen, just a quick one. Any mods on this kit, or it is out of the box, as I buy it? ( Obviously minus the throne, snare and hi hat stands) Cheers x
Hey man, I'm fine thanks! Yes, absolutely, This is the VAD307 "out of the box", comes without stands as you've mentioned it.

Hey Marvin, you can find the throne over here, it IS very comfy (and sturdy too): www.drum-tec.com/drum-tec-tfl-835hm-drum-seat-9700-series KInd regards!
Is it possible to upgrade the components on this kit with say components from the 500 line? Like if I wanted the bigger ride cymbal or eventually the 14" snare, would it work with the TD17?
If you want bigger ride, you should take td27 kv2, flagship hi hat, flagship 18’’ ride and 14’ snare, only the floor tom its smaller but you can easily upgrade it. And that 3 pieces are digital pads, that means you will have positional sensing.😃
What is the best triggering between VAD307 and DTX8K? Impossible for me to trying side by side (too far away from drumtec… and music store in my town don’t have this two drumkits in stock!)…! Ralph you are one of the best drummer in the world!
Thank you so much Mike :) Triggering/playability is great on both kits, yet Roland is superior (especially on hh controller, cymbals & Snare). Yamaha has some great sounds on the module though, yet sound preferences are really subjective. You might upgrade the VAD307 with a nice 18" drum-tec diabolo series Real Feel bass drum for much more authentic playing feel/rebound and way less noise than with the Roland KD-180L: th-cam.com/video/J9Ig12wXESQ/w-d-xo.html Feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for further assistance and/or an individual quote on any custom kit configuration including international shipping if you like. Kind regards!
I own the VAD307 and previously owned the predecessor to the TD-17, which is very similar. I would say the pads on the VAD are a significant upgrade. It feels like you are playing on an acoustic kit.
It would be nice to see the dynamic range of the kit... everything played was like 1000% attack lol I think all electric kits sound nice, the value in them comes from their dynamic range and sensor ability.
Hi, many of the new V2 firmware kits are indeed very rock and/or electronic sounding, so a lot of those kits didn't feel like playing subtle / low dynamic styles to me. Yet, for example the "Warm Jazz" kit at 1:49 gives a pretty comprehensive overview of dynamic range & subtle articulations, that the TD-17 module & VAD307 pads are able to deliver. Kind regards!
Hey Jesus, go for the Roland, as it has way better triggering/playability and build quality. You'll also be fully compatible with any Roland/ATV/drum-tec and even EFNOTE pads for future cross-/upgrades.

I personally prefer the Roland triggering, yet the Yamaha modules have some nice onboard sounds.

The TD-17 module has one more trigger input free, or you might also use splitters to have more input channels available (then those will be single zone though): th-cam.com/video/K5iuuxor32w/w-d-xo.html Kind regards!
I hear that any hi hat stand will work for the VAD307 (b/c one is not included with the VAD307 set), but is there a solid recommendation that anyone has? I use a DW 3000 3-leg for my acoustic/studio kit, which I like. Just wondering if there is a preferred hi hat stand to use with an electronic kit (when the hi hat is standalone, and not part of a rack). Thanks everyone! Drum on!
As I understand it the new crash cymbals are thinner and can be choked, as well as the ride which was not possible with the 306 thicker version? Also the new ride is 3 zoned and the old one was only two? Aside from the hardware and the new thinner slicker crash cymbals and three zone ride is there anything new? Does the module on the 307 come with the forthcoming update?
Hey Diego, the older cymbals already had the choke function & the 13" had three zones too. The new ride is 14" and both cymbals have a thinner profile (like the CY-16R-T and CY-14C-T), that I really like. The older models feel kind of "bulky" in comparison, I think the thinner ones play more realistic. All new TD-17 based kits (TD-17KV2, TD-17KVX2 and VAD307) come with the TD-17 Gen.2 update.

Hi Tristan, the tom/cymbal stands are included yes. You'll find more info on the kit here: www.drum-tec.com/roland-vad307-v-drums-acoustic-design Kind regards!
The two worst thing on this kit is the ride, especially the bell, and module. Having coming up on my 6 month of owning this kit, i feel I should of got the 506-507 Series or a Yamaha
Yamaha has worse triggering on the cymbals, snare and hh. You can buy a Zeitgeist 18" ride cymbal with decent bell sensitivity $170? Or you can save some more money again and buy a lemon 18". $70ish And if you want the best triggering and bang for your buck you can buy a 20" ride cymbal from unlock jaws. $199
Wow...all these years since I sold my TD-10 and I still think Roland drums sound like glorified casio keyboards. Would have thought by now things would have changed.
Roland has a more diverse audience than Efnote does. Roland has players of hard rock, punk rock, metal and everything in between. The sounds are more processed but they have a satisfying oomph to them. Efnote is better for the softer genres of jazz or blues, even rock n roll, where there’s some more finessed playing going on. And if you take the time to fine tune your own custom kit you can make something sound less processed and more dynamic on the Roland. Efnote however gives you little to no editing at all, you’re stuck with what they provide.
Roland had the market cornered for years, charging premium prices for products they put little effort into improving. It's taken competition from the likes of ef-note for them to wake up.
I love Roland cymbal sounds but I hate Roland snare and tom sounds. I like Yamaha snare and tom sounds but Yamaha cymbals sound a little bit too "weak" to my ears. Wish I could mix the best of the two worlds!
It would be crazy to say these don't sound great. But does anyone agree that the high-hats on all of these kits sound....bad....? They sound tinny, like cheap drum machine. The rest of the kit is awesome. But the hats are stopping me from buying.
The TD-17 unfortunately has terrible sounding snares despite having decent sounding everything else. Version 2 seems like a welcome improvement, but still not wonderful snare choices.
I'm beyond disappointed in Roland at this point. Are these the best acoustic sounds this module has??? It's one thing to not have thousands of kits (which is a trend now), at this price point. Its' something else entirely to have NO kits that sound good. Every sound I heard in this video sound synthetic, and overprocessed. The bell sounded decent. Is this module truly that bad??? Or, did the player pull up sounds thinking it was showing off the various samples this module offers? Exactly, how much money has to be spent to get a very good feeling, good sounding 5pc electronic kit for silent practicing?
And still no real acoustic sounds when is roland gonna change this?we want real acoustic tom sounds without the machine gunning!!!better cymbal and hihat sounds like efnote, its time Roland to come up with a better sound module that sounds better then the new Efnote line up. They are on the top of edrums why can’t they make an good acoustic sounding drummodule???
Sometimes I just like watching these Drumtec videos because Ralph is so much fun too watch playing the drums thanks for indulging me guys!!👏🤘

Who is this. I see people putting Ralph. Man he's killer, amazing control.
How does that snare handle buzz rolls?

Both are nice! :) yet pretty different in sounds/features/feel and kit setup, so best would be to try them both side by side for yourself to find out which one you prefer. Kind regards!
vad307 or td27kvx2 😬
Both kits are nice, but get a 18" drum-tec diabolo bass drum instead of the KD-10 / KD-180L in any case:

Feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for further assistance, more info on www.drum-tec.com also :) Kind regards!
Does the drum stands come with ??
Hi Tristan, the tom/cymbal stands are included yes. You'll find more info on the kit here:

Kind regards!
Anyone know if this is worth buying over the 306? Thanks 🤟
O cara ta batendo num cruze
The two worst thing on this kit is the ride, especially the bell, and module. Having coming up on my 6 month of owning this kit, i feel I should of got the 506-507 Series or a Yamaha
Yamaha has worse triggering on the cymbals, snare and hh.
You can buy a Zeitgeist 18" ride cymbal with decent bell sensitivity $170?
Or you can save some more money again and buy a lemon 18". $70ish
And if you want the best triggering and bang for your buck you can buy a 20" ride cymbal from unlock jaws.
$199
Wow...all these years since I sold my TD-10 and I still think Roland drums sound like glorified casio keyboards. Would have thought by now things would have changed.
Roland has a more diverse audience than Efnote does. Roland has players of hard rock, punk rock, metal and everything in between. The sounds are more processed but they have a satisfying oomph to them. Efnote is better for the softer genres of jazz or blues, even rock n roll, where there’s some more finessed playing going on. And if you take the time to fine tune your own custom kit you can make something sound less processed and more dynamic on the Roland. Efnote however gives you little to no editing at all, you’re stuck with what they provide.
Roland had the market cornered for years, charging premium prices for products they put little effort into improving. It's taken competition from the likes of ef-note for them to wake up.
I love Roland cymbal sounds but I hate Roland snare and tom sounds.
I like Yamaha snare and tom sounds but Yamaha cymbals sound a little bit too "weak" to my ears.
Wish I could mix the best of the two worlds!
It would be crazy to say these don't sound great. But does anyone agree that the high-hats on all of these kits sound....bad....? They sound tinny, like cheap drum machine. The rest of the kit is awesome. But the hats are stopping me from buying.
The TD-17 unfortunately has terrible sounding snares despite having decent sounding everything else. Version 2 seems like a welcome improvement, but still not wonderful snare choices.
I'm beyond disappointed in Roland at this point. Are these the best acoustic sounds this module has??? It's one thing to not have thousands of kits (which is a trend now), at this price point. Its' something else entirely to have NO kits that sound good. Every sound I heard in this video sound synthetic, and overprocessed. The bell sounded decent. Is this module truly that bad??? Or, did the player pull up sounds thinking it was showing off the various samples this module offers? Exactly, how much money has to be spent to get a very good feeling, good sounding 5pc electronic kit for silent practicing?
Idk I don't like rolands sounds. I prefer efnote
Not a fan Roland.
Why??, they sound great
@@Ishmael-TH-cam I just prefer the Yamaha sounds.
Who gives a rat’s ass?
Containing mostly of electronic kits, not impressed.
Hey Dustin, yeah you are right, they added lots of hybrid/electronic style kits with the software upgrade. Kind regards!
And still no real acoustic sounds when is roland gonna change this?we want real acoustic tom sounds without the machine gunning!!!better cymbal and hihat sounds like efnote, its time Roland to come up with a better sound module that sounds better then the new Efnote line up. They are on the top of edrums why can’t they make an good acoustic sounding drummodule???
