Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
True to the V-Drums DNA, the V71 embodies the brain of the Series 7 kits and establishes itself as Roland's new flagship electronic drum module. More than an evolution, it represents a breakthrough: extended waveform memory, redesigned editing tools, and cloud integration to access a constantly expanding content library. Its professional connectivity and modern control elevate it to the top of the range for the most demanding drummers.Target Audience
The V71 is aimed at advanced and professional drummers seeking a reliable, expressive module ready for touring, studio work, or content creation. Thanks to its finely preset kits, it also appeals to intermediate players wanting a "ready-to-mix" sound. Pop, rock, metal, hip-hop, electro, or jazz: the palette is broad, from soft playing to the most accented hits, with precise response to ghost notes, cross-sticks, and hi-hat nuances.Technical specifications
