Roland TD516 V-Drums Electronic Drum Kit

Next-Level Drumming Starts Here

The TD516 steps things up with a bigger footprint, enhanced playability, and premium digital pad integration-all while retaining the flexibility and sound power of the 5 Series. With a digital snare and hi-hats, larger kick pad, and upgraded cymbals, it's designed for drummers who want a more refined, expressive playing experience without going full flagship.

• All-New Sound Engine Redesigned for richer dynamics and VST-like tone, shared across the 3, 5, and 7 Series with identical sounds, expansions, and realism.

• Sampled with DW Premium multi-layer samples from Drum Workshop deliver iconic DW tone out of the box.

• Unmatched Expression Round-robin sampling and Roland behaviour modelling create smooth, organic, acoustic-like response.

Roland products are covered by a 2 year manufacturer warranty.

Although we are not authorised to determine if any repair is covered under warranty, if the item was purchased through World of Music, then we are often the best people to facilitate the claim for you and will do so as timely as possible. Warranty does not apply to cosmetic damage or faults that are a result of user neglect. Although your mate is really handy with a soldering iron, any product modification or home repair will also result in a void warranty.

Quite often, something perceived as a fault is as simple as a faulty cable or power issue so we always suggest checking over Frequently Asked Questions on the manufacturer website first. It can be a helpful approach to getting to the bottom of a problem and save you a lot of time in getting your gear back up and running!

Roland products ship via courier from either our Melbourne store or Roland’s warehouse in Sydney; fully insured for your peace of mind.
