Roland V51 V-Drums Sound Module

Every detail matters when your drumming needs to feel as real as it sounds. The Roland V51 V-Drums sound module delivers that precision, powered by the same advanced sound engine as the flagship V71. It loads multi-layer DW kits that capture the character of top acoustic drums and lets you fine-tune or import your own samples for full control. The color display and streamlined layout keep editing simple, while tools like Phrase Trainer, Stroke Monitor and Time Check support focused practice. Wireless connectivity and Roland Cloud access expand creative range with new kits, downloadable content and companion apps for recording or rehearsal. Backed by more than four decades of electronic percussion expertise, the V51 continues Roland’s legacy of design excellence and innovation trusted by drummers worldwide. As the company that introduced the original V-Drums in 1997, Roland remains the benchmark for responsive feel, build quality and modern drum technology.

Roland V51 DW Library Delivers Realistic Drum Response

Multi-sampled kits from Drum Workshop form the core of this sound module, with each drum and cymbal created using detailed recording and sample layering. The engine uses round-robin randomization and behavior modeling, so every hit sounds natural and unique. Digital pad compatibility enables over 16,000 dynamic variations for expressive playing, making each performance feel close to an acoustic kit. This approach helps players capture every subtle detail—from ghost notes to rimshots—without robotic repetition.

Wireless Connectivity and Roland Cloud Integration

Wireless connectivity makes it easy to update your library and load new kits directly from your phone using the Roland Cloud Connect app. The module supports up to six expansions at once, allowing you to swap kicks, snares and cymbals for endless variation. A six-month Roland Cloud Ultimate membership is included, offering access to DW Soundworks, exclusive kit packs and additional lesson content. With constant updates and cross-compatibility across the V-Drums ecosystem, the V51 stays current and connected—backed by Roland’s ongoing commitment to innovation in electronic percussion.

Intuitive Roland Controls and Fast Setup Streamline Playability

A color LCD and six physical faders make navigating the sound module quick and simple, so editing or switching sounds takes only seconds. The layout supports digital and analog pad connections, USB-C multichannel audio, MIDI and Bluetooth streaming for recording or practice. Inputs for headphones and mix-in devices provide quiet sessions or easy integration with external gear. The included mounting plate and trigger cable harness allow fast setup and stable use in any playing environment. Direct output routing and footswitch support give players precise control for live performance or studio workflows.

Durable Construction Supports Heavy Use

Roland built this module with solid materials and a compact design that fits into tight setups. The unit stands up to frequent cable swapping, transport and long rehearsal sessions. All connectors and jacks are reinforced, and the power supply supports reliable operation for hours of play. Each control is tested for accuracy and durability, so the module delivers consistent performance for years.
