New: The Roland VQD106, the quietest digital drum kit ever

The VQD106

Are you looking for a digital drum set that doesn’t produce external sounds? In that case, we can introduce you to the most silent drum kit in the world: the VQD106! An important advantage of digital drums is that you can play with headphones, which means you won’t produce the insane amount of noise an acoustic set makes. However, digital drums can produce some external sounds that can be bothersome for neighbours or housemates: hitting rubber pads with wooden sticks can produce a pretty loud sound, the metal stand can cause vibrations on the floor, and the pedals can cause extra droning sounds. Consequently, Roland has produced an extra quiet digital drum set after years of research, with a sound decrease of 75%. The pads of the VQD106 are made of sound-absorbing materials so you can hit it with vigour without it producing any extra sounds. Fortunately, this doesn’t decrease the quality of the drum kit, the pads are still very sensitive and have high-quality sensors so the digital sound will sound very authentic. Furthermore, the drum kit includes two pedal bases which will catch all the vibrations the pedals will cause and will prevent it from reaching the floor. The bases and the stand contain soft rubber feet which will prevent damage to your floor and any droning sounds.

Keep in mind: the kick pedal and the drum throne are not included and are sold separately.

Roland

Roland is a Japanese company created in Osaka in 1972 by Ikutaro Kakehashi. They produced high-quality and innovative rhythm machines, quickly followed by synthesizers and digital pianos, which made them one of the market leaders for electronic musical instruments within no time. Kakehashi subsequently created the subsidiary Boss in 1973, which focuses on the bass and guitar aspects of digital music. Roland’s philosophy is that music is an integral aspect of life, considered an almost magical part that brings us more humanity. It’s clearly important for Roland that they can guarantee the best quality. Furthermore, their slogan is ‘We Design The Future Together.’ Although they acknowledge their part in music history, they want to predominantly focus on the future. With this slogan they constantly remind themselves that ambition and innovation are vital and that they’ll prioritise their promise of constant quality development and an increase of quality with every new product.
