Description
Flagship Sound, Streamlined Design
The V31 sound module is the core component of the V-Drums 3 Series, delivering the power and expression of Roland's flagship V71 engine in a compact, accessible format. It combines next-generation response and multi-layered drum and cymbal instruments into a straightforward interface, giving drummers a premium sound experience without the bulk or complexity. And with onboard practice tools, wireless connectivity, and smartphone app integration, you can practice smarter, perform with confidence, and grow your sound options with an ever-expanding range of V-Drums expansion content on Roland Cloud.
Unified sound and expansion options.
The V31 module is part of a unified ecosystem with the V71 and V51, providing full cross-compatibility across V-Drums modules for the first time. Drum with the same core sound library created for the V-Drums 7 Series. And stay inspired with Roland Cloud content for V-Drums, including multi-layered V-Drums Instrument Expansions based on premium DW drum sets.
Flagship audio quality.
In developing the V71 module for the acclaimed V-Drums 7 Series, Roland built an entirely new onboard sound library in collaboration with Drum Workshop (DW), bringing unmatched realism and creative command to V-Drums. The V31 module is equipped with the same internal engine as the V71, giving you the identical sounds and expansion path in a streamlined interface. 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.
New sounds, on demand.
You can freely change the sound set within the V31 module to keep your music fresh. Open the Roland Cloud Connect app on your mobile device to access a growing range of V-Drums Instrument Expansion titles via your wireless network. Then, find the sounds you want, download them directly to the module, and start drumming immediately.
Unrivaled expression.
Like top-tier drum sound libraries for computers, the V31 features multi-layer sample playback and round-robin randomization for natural sound with no "machine-gun" effect. Roland's 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.
Expand your world.
On Roland Cloud, you'll never run out of fresh inspiration for your drumming journeys. V-Drums Instrument Expansions add all-new drum kits to the module, recorded using the same detailed process as the onboard library. Up to six expansions can be active at once, and you can freely exchange kicks, snares, cymbals, and other components between different kits. We also offer V-Drums Kit Packs created by top drummers and producers, including many titles for playing with spot-on recreations of the kits used in the most influential songs of all time.
Roland Cloud membership included.
Purchasing the V31 module or a V-Drums 3 Series kit includes six months of the Roland Cloud Ultimate membership tier, giving you untethered access to V-Drums Instrument Expansions, V-Drums Kit Packs, DW Soundworks, and more. Subscribe after the trial ends and stay up to date with our ever-expanding release roadmap. Or skip membership and keep your favorite selections forever with Lifetime Key purchases.
Editing made simple.
The kits within the module come ready to play, allowing you to experience world-class sounds with the turn of a dial. To add a personal touch, press the EZ Edit button to quickly change up kick and snare sounds, adjust pitch and damping, balance drum and cymbal levels, and more. If you want to go even further, dive into the module's deeper editing tools or use the V31 Editor on your Mac or Windows computer.
Studio-grade processing.
The V31 is loaded with pro audio processing tools driven by its powerful DSP engine. Shape each drum in fine detail with EQs and transient processors for each sound layer and EQ and compression for the combined sound. Process the full kit like a studio engineer using vintage and modern multi-effects, reverb, and more. And with convolution-based ambience tools and overhead, room, and kit resonance options, you can produce everything from the upfront realism of the playing position to the immersive atmosphere of nearly any space.
Sample import.
Whether you need specific sounds for cover songs or like to add a personal touch with your own samples, the V31 has you covered. Using the module's sample import function, it's easy to customize your palette and build any sound you can imagine. Each pad assignment provides three layers that can include any combination of internal sounds or external samples.
Wireless freedom.
The V31 features a built-in Roland wireless adapter that links with your network, letting you audition and download sound content directly via the Roland Cloud Connect app on a mobile device. You can update the module wirelessly, making it simple to stay up to date with the latest system software. Bluetooth audio/MIDI is also available, allowing you to jam with songs on your phone, play along with video lessons, and more.
Your personal drumming coach.
One of the most loved V-Drums features is the onboard coach mode, which offers an array of fun tools to develop techniques and keep your playing sharp. There's an advanced metronome and classics such as Time Check and Quiet Count, plus new tools like Phrase Trainer for rhythmic practice, Stroke Monitor for stick control, and Blast Beast for building accuracy and endurance. You also get access to Drum Pass, an exclusive Roland bundle of 100 Melodics™ interactive lessons specially developed for V-Drums players.
Stay focused with V-Drums Play.
V-Drums Play is a companion app that allows you to control essential module functions directly from your smartphone, including kit selection, metronome settings, and recording to capture your drumming at any time. Perfect for beginners and acoustic players new to electronic drums, V-Drums Play keeps you focused on what matters most-having fun and improving every day.
Connect and expand.
With the V31 module's multi-pin jack and wiring harness, pad connections are quick, clean, and efficient. There are also two analog trigger inputs for optional crash or trigger pads, plus a dedicated input to upgrade your setup with a high-resolution digital snare, ride, or hi-hat pad used in pro-level V-Drums kits. You also have a stereo output for sound monitoring, a headphone jack for quiet practice, and an analog mix input for a music player or Roland percussion pad.
Multi-channel audio and MIDI.
The V31 features an integrated USB audio/MIDI interface for communication with DW Soundworks, the V31 Editor, and other music software. The USB connection makes multitrack recording easy, allowing you to capture up to 30 audio channels in your DAW over a single cable. There's also a traditional MIDI output for triggering external sounds and sending sync signals to MIDI hardware.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
