Roland TD-316 electronic drum kit

Roland TD-316

V-Drums 3 Series kit with V31 module, floating hi-hat, and dual crashes.

Roland Full kit

The TD-316 is a strong mid-tier Roland option built around the V31 module, a 12-inch mesh snare, redesigned mesh toms, VH-10 floating hi-hat, dual thin crashes, and a 14-inch ride. It sits below the V51-based 5 Series but gives intermediate players a very modern Roland practice and recording platform with a useful digital upgrade path.
