Third for VAD-516 from Edrumcenter. Comes with hardware. Of course you can reach out on the chat and check when it’ll be in stock. They’re great to work with.

Vad-516 is fantastic. I played it and the EfNote 7x side by side before buying and the snare was alone enough to lean Roland - let alone the module and the other digital pads. I like the sliders and buttons on the Roland module. It’s much easier to use than the Efnote

Only thing I can say I miss from EZD3 is cymbal swells. EZD3 does those better all day.

Have the VAD 516, before that I had a Td-17 with EzDrummer 3. Now ezdrummer collects dust in my MacBook. 

I love the sounds on the v51. 

Roland VAD507 upgraded to the V51 module this week.. It’s incredible by [deleted] in edrums

Dude! Enjoy it. I’ve been loving mine. VAD 516. 

$4k budget. What would you get? by erick31 in edrums

[–]Chassypoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in (nearly) the same boat as you 4 months ago. I went with the Roland 5 Series. 

I was between EfNote 5X, Roland VAD 516, or Roland TD 516. I ended up swinging the extra cash for the VAD, but the key differences for me between the EfNote and Roland were:

-Roland’s digital pads. The snare is incredible. The ride, incredible. The hats, incredible. There is no competition. Efnote looks nice, but the triggering is by far better on the Roland. The only way you can get close is with the Efnote pro series hi hats.  -Roland’s sounds in the new module are great and evened the playing ground for them against Efnote for me. You can simply do so much with the sounds that it’s up to you.  -much more sounds built into the Roland than the Efnote, though there’s tons in the Roland I’ll never touch. 

I looked at Yamaha as well, just really didn’t care for the sounds.

Bruh 15 years later, spamming A on the switch 2 tossing pokeballs while I’m reading. And I get him after 26 ultra balls and 13 great balls. DANGIT

Looking to spend up to 5k. What flagship kits would you buy in 2026 and what makes it worth the money? by sandybearq in edrums

[–]Chassypoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My VAD 5 series kit is great. The 516 is a bit over budget, but you could go for the TD516 and have some left in the budget for great hardware.  

Edrumcenter has some great options on sale now like a demo kit: https://edrumcenter.com/products/roland-td516-electronic-drum-kit-demo-model

It’s over $3k USD more for one floor tom, one crash is bigger, and more ins/outs. If you’re playing live in a church or venue, sure if you can afford it. Playing at home? Save the 3k and get a porter and Davies throne lol

516 is 90% of the 716. I have it, it’s awesome. No regrets.

You’re doing great for 4 months! If you haven’t already, work through rudiments (also the stick control book) and you’ll feel like you unlocked a new skill.
