The TD-17KVX2 takes your performance to the next level with pad upgrades. Mounted on an acoustic stand, the 12-inch floating hi-hat, crash cymbal, mesh-head snare, and three slim-profile cymbals helps you play with accuracy.

The TD-27KV2 model is “an expressive drum kit for recording and rehearsal duties”. There is enough room to feel comfortable when playing the digital snare, hi-hat, and ride pads. Players can record up to 28 channels of audio and carry their sound with direct audio outputs.

These models connect via Bluetooth.

The acoustic VAD307 is a small kit with thin cymbals and shallow-depth shells, perfect for at home usage. Featuring double-braced stands with tom mounts and cymbal boom arms, thin crash, and ride cymbals, it provides all the acoustic tones.

The acoustic VAD507 is a full-size acoustic drum experience, combining the easy use of electronic drums. It includes full-depth and diameter wood shells, wrapped and placed on double-braced chrome stands. The digital hi-hat and heavy-duty cymbal help with expression.
