Practicing drums at home should feel immersive—but not disruptive. V-Drums Quiet Design achieves both, delivering the lowest playing noise in V-Drums history. With advanced sound-isolating technologies, drummers can play freely at any time while remaining virtually silent to those nearby.

The VQD106PADS kit is the same as the VQD106 model without the module and connection cables, allowing you to add the compatible V-Drums module of your choice. The pads are compatible with many V-Drums modules, including the TD-07, TD-17, TD-27, TD-50X, and V71.

A Revolution in Home Drumming

Roland V-Drums have long been among the quietest electronic drums, thanks to precision engineering and headphone monitoring. Yet pad strikes and pedal vibrations can still transfer through floors and walls. V-Drums Quiet Design redefines home drumming, integrating noise-reducing materials and isolated components that confine all kinetic energy and dramatically lower ambient sound.

Engineered for Quiet Performance

Developing quieter V-Drums required extensive testing and new sound-control techniques. The VQD106PADS kit achieves up to 75% less noise than standard V-Drums. Its kick and hi-hat operate with near-silent smoothness, while stick hits produce room levels comparable to normal conversation.

Ultra-Responsive Snare and Tom Pads

The PDQ-8S snare and PDQ-8 tom pads combine authentic feel with low acoustic output. Each pad uses a honeycomb rubber insert and mesh head for dynamic response and reduced impact noise. Venting beneath the surface releases air pressure, and the PDQ-8S offers independent head/rim triggering with a quiet rubber rim for rimshots.

Articulate Cymbal Pads with Natural Motion

Three CYQ-12 cymbal pads feature the same honeycomb rubber, mesh covering, and venting system for silent play. Rubber-isolated parts eliminate vibrations, while crash and ride pads include bow and edge triggers, realistic swing, and manual choke capability. The hi-hat pad pairs with the FD-9 control pedal for detailed feel and ultra-quiet action.

Satisfying Kick Pad and Beater

The KDQ-8 kick pad delivers a solid, satisfying thud with minimal external sound. Its eight-inch surface supports single or double pedals and features a triple-layer cushion under a double-ply mesh head. A floating frame and rubber feet reduce vibration, while the KDB-Q beater’s rounded head minimizes contact noise.

Noise-Isolating Stand and Pedal Bases

The custom stand and pedal bases further isolate mechanical noise. Hemispherical rubber feet prevent pad vibration transfer, while dedicated NEQ-K and NEQ-H pedal bases contain foot impact. Evolved from the NE-10 Noise Eater, these bases complete the Quiet Design system for truly silent performance.
