Roland TD-513 electronic drum kit

Roland TD-513

Entry V-Drums 5 Series kit with V51 module and a clear digital upgrade path.

Roland Full kit

The TD-513 is the entry point into Roland's V-Drums 5 Series, using the V51 module in a streamlined setup with redesigned mesh toms, a 12-inch snare, VH-10 hi-hat, KD-10 kick, and thin V-Cymbals. It makes sense for players who want the newer Roland sound engine and future digital-pad expansion without paying for the full TD-516 digital pad package immediately.
