Roland Drums

Roland Drums is a Japanese company known for it's line of electronic drums. In 1972, the company began launching it's first products which included rhythm machines and synthesizers. In the early '80's, they began to offer some MIDI capabilities but it wasn't until the early '90's that the first general MIDI Synthesizer was released.



Their most popular product "V-Drums" is an innovative approach to electronic drum sets. Patented mesh heads and other components help to re-create the feeling and response that one gets from an acoustic set. The benefit off the V Series over an acoustic set is that you have access to the powerful technology that Roland has developed in their analog modules.
