Dynamic sounds, cymbal chokes,
delicate hi-hat nuances —

You can upgrade the snare
with a V-Pad PDX-6/PDX-8 (optional),
which provides a realistic mesh-head feel
as well as rim-shot playability.
The TD-4 sound module (included with the kit) is packed with world-class drum and percussion sounds.
The sounds can be easily edited, as you can quickly and intuitively customize the kits with tuning/
muffling buttons.Ambience effects can also be added to make the sounds more lively and dynamic.
More than just great sounds onboard,
V-Drums Portable is also equipped with built-in
training programs. The Coach function helps you
improve your drumming technique
with five different modes: Warm Up, Time Check,
Tempo Check, Quiet Count, and Auto Up/Down.
Quick REC captures your drumming
and lets you listen to the results — valuable
for self-evaluation and improvement.
