Roland TD513 V-Drums electronic drum kit

Introducing the Roland TD-513 V-Drums electronic drum kit

The Roland TD-513 marks your entry into the professional V-Drums 5 Series, bringing premium expression, versatility, and sound quality to a streamlined, compact setup. Designed for serious players who want the feel and flexibility of a top-tier electronic kit without the bulk, it’s perfect for home practice, studio recording, and small-stage performances.

At the heart of the TD-513 lies the V51 sound module, powered by the same advanced engine as Roland’s flagship V71. This delivers lifelike tone, ultra-responsive dynamics, and deep customisation options across an extensive range of premium acoustic and electronic kits. Every hit, ghost note, and cymbal swell is captured with expressive detail, making the TD-513 feel every bit as inspiring as a high-end acoustic setup.

With redesigned pads, smart connectivity, and powerful learning tools, the TD-513 grows alongside your playing. Whether you’re honing your skills, producing music, or performing live, this kit delivers the perfect balance of realism, performance, and creative control.

Please note: Pedals, drum sticks and drum throne are not included with this kit. Please see our recommended accessories below!

Authentic response and realistic feel

The TD-513’s upgraded pads provide a truly expressive drumming experience. The PD-12P snare pad features triple piezo sensors with positional sensing, allowing for natural rim and centre articulation as well as brush sweep response for more acoustic-style phrasing. Redesigned PD-8H and PD-10H toms feature offset sensors that eliminate hot spots and provide smooth, even dynamics across the playing surface. Together, they ensure every strike feels natural, consistent, and musical.

Pro-level cymbals and hi-hat performance

Equipped with CY-12C-T and CY-14R-T crash pads alongside a CY-16R-T ride, the TD-513 delivers authentic cymbal motion and full expressive control. Each pad supports bow, edge, and bell triggering with choke capability for realistic performance nuance. The VH-10 hi-hats mount on a traditional acoustic stand (sold separately), offering smooth open/closed transitions and pedal response that faithfully mirrors an acoustic setup.

V51 sound module – power and precision

Driven by the V51 module, the TD-513 provides professional-grade sound quality derived from the same advanced technology as the flagship V71. A diverse library of kits, from tight studio snares to thunderous arena toms, ensures the right tone for every style. The module’s intuitive interface and deep editing options make it easy to shape your signature sound, while additional inputs allow for expansion with Roland’s advanced digital pads.

Flexible, reliable, and built to perform

The TD-513’s MDS-Standard 3 stand provides rock-solid stability and versatile positioning for toms and cymbals, making it suitable for both tight home setups and gigging environments. Its durable hardware design ensures long-lasting reliability, while quick adjustments make it easy to tailor the layout to your playing style. This balance of sturdiness and flexibility makes the kit equally at home in practice rooms and performance spaces.

Smart connectivity and creative expansion

With USB-C multi-channel audio and MIDI, Bluetooth audio streaming, and wireless smartphone integration, the TD-513 connects seamlessly to your modern music setup. Record directly into your DAW, play along with your favourite tracks, or manage your sounds wirelessly through the Roland app. Plus, with access to Roland Cloud, you can explore an ever-expanding library of V-Drums Instrument Expansions—including multi-layered samples from top-tier DW kits—for endless creative inspiration.

Learn, practise, and progress

The TD-513 includes Roland’s integrated coaching tools, offering a phrase trainer, stroke monitor, and other features designed to sharpen timing and technique. Exclusive Melodics lessons tailored for V-Drums users provide interactive practice sessions that keep your playing focused and fun. Whether you’re a developing drummer or a seasoned performer, the TD-513 helps you stay inspired and continually improving.
