The Centerpiece of the V-Drums 5 Series- the V51 Module
In developing the V71 module for the acclaimed V-Drums 7 Series, we built an entirely new onboard sound library in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW), bringing unmatched realism and creative command to V-Drums. The V51 module features the same internal engine as the V71, giving you the identical sounds and expansion path in an efficient hardware design. Crafted from a hand-picked selection of the world’s finest drum sets, these record-ready sounds deliver the detail, punch, and sonic quality found in the most expensive computer collections.
Advanced hardware.The V51 module offers a streamlined workflow and direct panel controls to shape sounds in the moment. Knobs and faders allow you to balance levels as you play, while stereo main outputs and two direct outputs provide expanded sound control for stage and studio playing. Three dedicated trigger inputs support a complete set of our high-resolution digital pads, which come standard with the VAD516 and TD516 kits.
Like top-tier drum sound libraries for computers, the V51 module features multi-layer sample playback and round-robin randomization for natural sound and an inspiring feel that’s second to none in electronic drumming. Our proprietary behavior modeling adds the finishing touch, refining the sound with smooth, artifact-free transitions for every articulation and over 16,000 variations in dynamic response with our digital pads.
