Roland TD516

The TD-516 sits in that sweet spot if you’re thinking about upgrading into digital snare/hat/ride later, because the 5 series module supports more digital pads. Personally, I’d still be happy on the TD-316 for value, but the 5 series makes sense if you want a clearer upgrade path.

Pros

  • +Better upgrade path for adding digital snare/hi-hat/ride
  • +5 series positioning can work for higher-end home use and some live scenarios

Cons

  • -Costs more than the 3 series for features you may not need immediately
