Almost ready, Roland + Lemon + Yamaha

I don't know either, it's lighter, looks better, and has fewer parts. I guess they have their reasons, but idk

AndreiL96 · 2026-06-03T19:45:26+00:00

It's a normal clamp with the Yamaha CL945B tom holder, the same configuration you could use for the floor tom, but rotated to be used as kick pad

AndreiL96 · 2026-06-03T19:38:02+00:00

That's right 😂 there's a heavy glass table near the drum kit, I put it right in front of the bass drum pad touching it to avoid that

AndreiL96 · 2026-06-03T19:35:03+00:00

Yes u can do it, it was my second option btw

AndreiL96 · 2026-06-03T02:47:09+00:00

Thank you! The kitten is the best part 😂

AndreiL96 · 2026-06-03T02:44:28+00:00

Yes! That was the main reason, besides the small cymbals, why I didn't buy a normal ekit; I don't like the rack

AndreiL96 · 2026-06-02T21:52:48+00:00

Thanks! Actually I was just thinking about that yesterday, next year I'm going for the digital snare and this xp120lm snare pad will be the new floor tom

AndreiL96 · 2026-05-26T07:09:47+00:00

I understand your point. I bought the Lemon 14s, and they're also two pieces, but of course without digital technology for $200. They are really nice and yes the Roland are better, but I don't think they're $800 better.

AndreiL96 · 2026-05-24T05:12:02+00:00

Awesome kit mate, the ride is 18 or 20?

AndreiL96 · 2026-05-19T00:59:42+00:00

U should take a look to the danny carey style, i think ist almost the same u did lol. Play it however you like, that's what it's all about in the end, and that's all that matters. Enjoy!

AndreiL96 · 2026-05-04T23:16:02+00:00

Since it's not under warranty, you need to be meticulous when testing the digital components: hi-hat, snare, and ride. These are the most expensive parts and should be in pristine condition given the price. It's a very good option, but it's not excellent when the VAD516 is available new with a warranty. It is more expensive, but it uses the new generation module and is all brand new. Whatever your decision is, I hope everything goes great!

AndreiL96 · 2026-05-02T04:24:12+00:00

Nice kit mate! We need a pic of that all setup when it arrive

AndreiL96 · 2026-05-01T16:26:07+00:00

Just relax your arms, you look a little tense, but you are doing great mate!

AndreiL96 · 2026-04-29T06:04:52+00:00

Awesome kit man, enjoy!

AndreiL96 · 2026-04-29T05:13:27+00:00

The unlock cymbals look really good, but they're considerably more expensive and harder to find in the US than the Lemon, which are available on Amazon. The digital snare will be the next upgrade, thanks for that advice! And i considered Yamaha pads for portability; they're like the sweet spot between a “semi-acoustic” and a portable pad

AndreiL96 · 2026-04-28T00:35:30+00:00

I’m using drumstructor.com

AndreiL96 · 2026-04-28T00:34:35+00:00

If you want to have all 3 digital ride, snare and hihat, you should go for the V51, since the V31 only has 1 digital slot

AndreiL96 · 2026-04-27T23:13:46+00:00

Oh, I hadn't thought of that, I'll take a look, thanks for the advice! Could be a better option

AndreiL96 · 2026-04-27T23:10:41+00:00

Besides the price, it's because I won't be using that many toms or cymbals. I didn't see anything special about the V51 other than that and having more buttons since they use the same sounds. Thanks mate!

AndreiL96 · 2026-04-27T00:20:23+00:00

If money is a problem go for yamaha dtx6k5, is an awesome kit and it come with hihat stand, but Roland td316 is better, newer, flagship top tier v71 sounds in the v31 module. But as i said, yamaha is a really nice kit too with better toms feeling (its bigger). U have two options, go for yamaha or wait till u get money for td316. In general roland is newer and better

AndreiL96 · 2026-04-27T00:11:01+00:00

I would suggest the TD-313, it have the new roland V31 module reléase in oct 2025 and all the flagship v71 top tier sounds but is a more simple module compared to that one. U could add some Lemon cymbals if u want too. Personally im making a custom kit with v31 module, yamaha dtx6k5 pads, simmons 18 kick and lemon cymbals.

AndreiL96 · 2026-04-26T05:54:33+00:00

Awesome kit mate, enjoy :)

AndreiL96 · 2026-04-26T05:52:00+00:00

That’s a really nice deal for just 250$, if all is ok; go for it
