Roland V51 Digital Upgrade Pack

Full Description

All-in-one upgrade for older kits

If your current Roland setup is starting to feel dated, this pack gives you a clear path forward. It’s compatible with a wide range of Roland kits, so you can upgrade confidently without worrying about a full system change. And if you’re using an older flagship model, you’ll notice the difference straight away. Swapping in the module and digital pads updates the core of your kit, improving how it feels and responds while keeping the rest of your setup intact.

More responsive module performance

The V51 V-Drums module focuses on translating your playing accurately. Every hit, from light ghost notes to heavier accents, is picked up with clarity. This helps your playing sound more consistent and controlled, especially in more detailed styles. You’ll also find that transitions between dynamics feel smoother, which can make longer practice sessions or performances more comfortable. It’s about giving you a module that keeps up with your technique, rather than holding it back.

Digital pads that track your playing closely

The included digital ride and snare bring a noticeable step up in how your kit responds. The CY-18DR ride captures subtle variations across the cymbal surface, so bell, bow, and edge hits feel distinct. Meanwhile, the PD-14DSX snare offers positional sensing that reflects where and how you strike. This means your technique translates more naturally, whether you’re working on intricate patterns or solid backbeats. Together, they help your electronic kit behave more like an acoustic setup.

Hi-hats with natural foot control

The VH-14D digital hi-hats are built to respond closely to your foot movement. Open, closed, and in-between positions feel smoother and more predictable, making it easier to lock in tight grooves. Fast footwork stays clear, while slower transitions sound more controlled. This can make a real difference when you’re practising timing or recording parts that rely on subtle hi-hat work. Paired with the rest of the pack, they round out a setup that feels cohesive and reliable.
