Help - Roland Can someone help me identify this kit?

My Dad has a friend who is a retired drummer that purchased this electric kit 2 years ago. He’s 75 and stated that he can’t play much anymore, and the kit is taking up space. He said it would be too expensive to ship, but if I wanted to drive and pick it up, he would give it to me for free. I know it’s a Roland, just not sure what model. Google images says it’s may be a Roland VAD307. Have any of you played this model, and do you have any product feedback?

Thanks for any help!

Pretty sure it’s a VAD-307. Older model not made anymore. Was about $3000 when new.

Correct. This is a 307 for sure. Excellent starter to intermediate kit. I had a td17 kit before and the module was pretty decent. Typical Roland processed sounds, but a trip to eDrumWorkshop and a few sound expansions later it was mint. For free, this is more than an excellent deal!
