A new era for Roland V-Drums has begun. Meet the V-Drums 7 Series. Three new kits feature the reimagined V71 sound module, next-generation pads, and enhanced creative tools.
In this recording session, veteran rock superproducer Butch Vig sets up shop in the Foo Fighters Studio 606 to track drums for three original compositions. Vig, a longtime V-Drums and DW Soundworks user with his band Garbage, utilizes the latest V-Drums Series 7 in the session. He invites powerhouse drummer Abe Cunningham of Deftones, also a V-Drums player, to lay down some meaty grooves.
Seeking unique tones for each song, Vig and Cunningham trial sounds, dial them in, and record complete takes. All sounds heard in this video are the V-Drums Series 7—mixed and mastered by Butch Vig himself.
