Roland VQD106 Quiet Design V-Drums

You can now play without restraint at any time without the neighbors noticing that a drummer is in action near them. A revolution for home drumming The Roland V-Drums are among the quietest electronic drums on the market thanks to years of research and development, precision engineering and the ability to play with headphones. But, under certain circumstances, even V-Drums can sometimes make too much noise. The simple impact of the strikes on the pads can disturb those around you or your neighbors. In addition, the use of the bass drum and hi-hat pedals transmits vibrations through the ground. They resonate in structures and create noises in adjacent rooms. The V-Drums Quiet Design solves all these problems. Although they resemble those of conventional V-Drums, its elements incorporate important innovations that make it very quiet. Carefully designed pads and hardware greatly reduce the volume of playing noise, while sound absorbing materials store all the kinetic energy of strikes to prevent them from escaping to neighboring rooms. Designed for quiet playing Overcoming the problem of drum noise and designing an even quieter V-Drums required extensive research into sound transmission and choice of materials, as well as the development of completely new techniques. Detailed tests in selected locations have revealed that the Quiet Design VQD106 reduces noise by 75% compared to a conventional V-Drums. Bass drum and hi-hat are incredibly quiet, and drumsticks on the pads produce a volume similar to that of a standard conversation. Ultra Sensitive Snare Drum Pads and Toms Despite their advanced noise reduction characteristics, the VDQ106's snare and toms provide a natural feel under the drumsticks, identical to those of the best V-Drums. The PDQ-8S and PDQ-8 pads feature a honeycomb rubber striking surface covered with a mesh head that greatly absorbs sound. Carefully calculated vents opposite the striking surface allow air to escape and further reduce noise. The PDQ-8S snare has independent head and hoop sensors, and the latter is covered with soft rubber to be silently triggered. Articulated cymbal pads with natural oscillation. The VQD106 kit incorporates three versatile CYQ-12 cymbal pads made of honeycomb rubber, mesh head and vents, similar to the snare and tom pads. In addition, the plastic parts are isolated by flexible rubber which absorbs vibrations. Used as a crash or ride, the CYQ-12 detects edge and body hits, swings naturally, and can be smothered by grabbing it. Used as a hi-hat, this pad is paired with the FD-9 control pedal to provide detailed response and ultra-quiet operation. A comfortable kick drum pad and bat. The KDQ-8 kick drum pad provides the sagging feel that drummers crave, while keeping the sound confined to your headphones. Its eight inch head is compatible with single or double bass drum pedals and incorporates a striking surface made up of a triple layer of dense foam covered with a double mesh head. This surface is surrounded by a special floating frame which reduces the transfer of vibrations and noise. Four rubber tips provide additional sound isolation and good stability, while the silent KDB-Q bat is spherically shaped to minimize noise from impacts on the playing surface. Noise- isolating rack and pedals. Our innovative pedal rack and soles complete the playing experience on V-Drums Quiet Design by limiting the transmission of hitting noises to the floor and other rooms in your home. The rack's special hemispherical rubber feet limit noise from the pads, and the NEQ-K (bass drum) and NEQ-H (hi-hat) soles are made from rubber to dampen noise from the footsteps. These soles, recently developed for Quiet Design V-Drums, are an evolution of our popular Noise Eater NE-10. A powerful TD-07 sound module The TD-07 is a versatile sound module offering high quality acoustic and electronic drum sounds, recorded in professional studios and powered by advanced V-Drums technology. You can customize each of the sounds by swapping elements, changing their tuning, adding mutes and using the EQ to find the ideal tone. The integrated Bluetooth allows you to listen, from the module, to sounds from a smartphone or tablet to play on or take lessons. Thanks to its USB port, it is possible to record a stereo or MIDI audio stream in a music production software, to trigger software instruments and to use the Melodics ™ coaching application and its interactive lessons, free for users by V-Drums. V-Drums Quiet Design options If you already have a V-Drums module and want to benefit from V-Drums Acoustic Design hardware, no problem. The VQD106PADS kit offers you all the elements of the VQD106 without the module and the connection cables. The V-Drums Quiet Design elements are also available individually, which allows you to expand your kit or change the pads of your current V-Drums. The pads are compatible with several V-Drums in addition to the TD-07: TD-17, TD-27, TD-50X and V71.
