Missed out on Thomann's Roland TD313 Cyber Week deal? Here's how you can still get one of the newest electronic drum sets on the market at a bargain price before Black Friday becomes Cyber Monday!
Snag Roland's next-gen, mid-price V-Drums set for less, complete with the same sound engine as the mega-expensive V71 module
As Black Friday transitions into Cyber Monday, it stands to reason that some deals sell out. That's exactly what happened with Thomann's tasty Cyber Week £244 reduction on the Roland TD313 V-Drums set. But, if you snoozed, you might not lose, yet. Because UK retailer Gear4Music has almost exactly the same deal on the Roland TD313. It's live, it's in stock, and you can get it delivered to your door tomorrow for free!
Roland recently delivered the power of its flagship 7 Series to a more real world price point with its 3 and 5 Series electronic drum sets. It's rare for a product to catch site of any sort of reduction - never mind a Black Friday deal - this early into its life. So, if you missed the first round of deals on what is a truly game-changing mid-price electronic drum set, now's your chance to save Christmas.
Roland's TD313 is the entry-level kit in its brand new 3 Series range, although with a full retail price of £1439, it's certainly not in the lower end of the market.
It was only released in October 2025, so it's unusual to see discount of this level, this quickly.
Highlights include a universal sound collection as found in Roland's much more expensive 7 and 5 Series kits, compatibility with Roland's digital pads, and mesh heads all-round.
The V31 module features a colour screen, Bluetooth and integration with Roland's Cloud online sound expansion resource. This kit has only been out a month, so it's a big surprise to see any discounts this early. Bag it now before the price goes back up!

Offering a shared sound engine across the 7, 5 and 3 Series’, this new universal sound engine approach means that those of us looking at the more affordable end of the market can get access to the holy grail of drum module features: multi-sampled and multi-mic’d drum sounds without needing to connect to a computer.
Presented as a compact five-piece setup with Roland’s PDX-12 snare pad, two of Roland’s latest PD-8H rack tom pads, a PD-10H pad for the floor tom and a KD-10 kick drum pad. The cymbal offering comprises a CY-5 hi-hat pad with FD-9 foot controller, Roland’s thin-format CY-12C-T crash and CY-14R-T ride cymbal.
The TD313 comes with a 6-month Roland Cloud Ultimate subscription, so you can have all-you-can-eat access to kit expansions taken from DW Soundworks, fresh presets, backing tracks and more.
But it’s not just the next-generation sound engine to get excited about, because Roland’s 3 Series now offers an entry point into its groundbreaking digital pad technology at its lowest price yet.
Now, you don’t receive any of Roland’s digital pads with the TD313 setup, so consider this ‘digital ready’ thanks to the digital trigger USB input. Here, you can connect either of Roland’s PD-140DS or PD-14DSX digital snare pads, VH-14D 14-inch digital hi-hats or a CY-18DR digital ride cymbal for more realistic and expressive playing. Plus, the digital port also allows connectivity to the Roland-compatible DWe DrumLink, for wireless connectivity of pads.
As well as the enhanced sound engine and digital triggering, the TD313 includes bluetooth connectivity for wirelessly streaming your music collection while jamming, Roland’s all-new coach modes, a colour screen and USB audio interface.
We recently reviewed the Roland VAD316 - which features a different pad configuration to the TD313, but includes the same V31 module which generates the sounds.
This deal is one of the heftiest discounts we've seen in the electronic drum sales this Black Friday, on what is sure to be a popular mid-level electronic kit for the year ahead, so grab it before the price goes back up!
