Roland Announces DrumLink Wireless System

Roland announces the official release of the DrumLink wireless system and related products. Developed in partnership between Roland and Drum Workshop (DW), DrumLink is a new wireless triggering technology for electronic pads, cymbals, and drum triggers. From Roland V-Drums kits to hybrid acoustic-electronic configurations, the modular DrumLink system streamlines connectivity for faster setup and a cleaner look.

Designed specifically for drumming applications, the proprietary DrumLink system delivers lightning-fast response and rock-solid performance that feels identical to analog triggering. Up to 30 active instruments are supported simultaneously (depending on the sound source), unlocking a growing range of hybrid, electronic, and software-based drumming setups.

The DrumLink system features two core components: the WT-10 Wireless Trigger Adapter and DH-10 DrumLink Hub. Supported sound sources include the Roland V71, TD-50X, and TD-27 sound modules, SPD-SX PRO Sampling Pad, and the DW Soundworks software instrument. The WT-10 also makes it easy for owners of Drum Workshop’s DWe acoustic-electronic wireless convertible drums to integrate Roland pads within their sets.

WT-10 Wireless Trigger Adapter

The WT-10 converts the analog trigger outputs on compatible Roland drum/cymbal pads and acoustic drum triggers to wireless signals. Two inputs support single- and dual-trigger pads, allowing users to connect two pads to one unit. A single cymbal with two outputs can be connected for bow/bell/edge triggering, and hi-hat pads with two trigger/control outputs are also supported. The integrated mount is highly adjustable, enabling secure and flexible attachment to drum/pad rims, bass drum hoops, and cymbal/hi-hat stands.

DH-10 DrumLink Hub

The compact DH-10 DrumLink Hub captures trigger signals from up to 15 WT-10 units, which are sent to the sound module or a computer via a simple USB-C connection. The DH-10 also has a TRS MIDI output for sending trigger signals to any sound source that receives MIDI note messages and CC data.

Roland V-Cymbals for DWe Convertible Drum Sets

The Roland 4CY-4WT-01 DrumLink Cymbal Pack provides a ready-made solution for outfitting a DWe acoustic-electronic wireless convertible drum set with Roland’s leading electronic cymbals. These expressive pads deliver authentic feel, response, and movement, and have very low in-room noise levels when played. This bundle includes three CY-16R-T crash/ride pads, one VH-10 V-Hi-Hat pad, and four WT-10 Wireless Trigger Adapters that communicate with the kit’s DWe DrumLink Wireless Hub. Drum Workshop also offers complete four- and five-piece DWe kit bundles with Roland V-Cymbals and WT-10 units included.
