The Roland V31 V-Drums sound module delivers flagship power and unmatched realism in a streamlined format built for drummers of all levels. Powered by the same next-generation sound engine as Roland’s top-tier V71, the V31 captures every nuance of your performance with ultra-detailed, multi-layered samples created in collaboration with DW. A vibrant color display, intuitive EZ Edit controls and integrated wireless connectivity make it easy to customize, practice and perform. With deep editing options, studio-grade effects and Roland Cloud expansion support, the V31 offers premium sound quality, flexible connectivity and a seamless playing experience—whether you're in the studio, onstage or at home.

Flagship Sound Engine for Realistic Performance

At the heart of the V31 lies the same advanced sound engine used in Roland’s flagship V71 module, delivering unparalleled expressive range and an expansive library of authentic sounds. Its multi-sampled drum and cymbal sounds—developed with DW—capture every subtle variation in tone, velocity and dynamics. Roland’s proprietary behavior modeling ensures ultra-smooth transitions and lifelike response with no "machine-gun" effect, giving each hit organic, acoustic authenticity. From light ghost notes to explosive rimshots, the V31 responds with precision and depth, letting drummers experience the tactile nuance and punch of a world-class studio kit in a compact, easy-to-use module.

Intuitive Interface and Smart Editing Tools

The V31’s interface keeps the creative process simple and fast. A large 4.3" color display and EZ Edit controls allow you to tweak sounds, adjust tuning or damping and balance levels in seconds. For deeper sound shaping, you can dive into advanced parameters or connect to the companion V31 Editor software on Mac or Windows. Built-in wireless capability lets you access Roland Cloud directly from your mobile device to download new kits, expansions and instrument packs. Whether you’re crafting a personal kit or dialing in the perfect mix for a live set, the V31 keeps your workflow intuitive and efficient.

Studio-Grade Effects and Sound Design Control

Beyond its powerful core sounds, the V31 provides professional audio tools for sculpting your tone. Each layer includes dedicated EQs and compressors, with additional bus effects, reverbs and transient processors to refine every element of your kit. Convolution-based ambience and overhead simulations recreate authentic acoustic environments—from tight studios to expansive concert halls—while built-in sample import lets you add your own WAV files for ultimate customization. With USB-C multi-channel audio and MIDI connectivity, the V31 integrates seamlessly with your DAW, providing up to 30 channels of pristine, 44.1 kHz audio for recording or hybrid performance setups.

Practice, Performance and Expansion Without Limits

Whether you’re sharpening skills or expanding your sound library, the V31 offers tools to keep your playing inspired. Integrated coach functions like Phrase Trainer, Quiet Count and Stroke Monitor help improve timing, endurance and technique, while the included Drum Pass provides 100 free Melodics lessons. Bluetooth audio lets you stream tracks or play along with online lessons, and a six-month Roland Cloud Ultimate membership unlocks exclusive kit packs, DW Soundworks software and lifetime expansion options. With dedicated inputs for digital pads and additional triggers, the V31 grows effortlessly with your playing ambitions.
