Getting a drum kit set up—especially if you’re working with both acoustic and electronic gear—has always been a bit of a puzzle. Between trigger cables, sound modules, pad placements, and making sure nothing’s tangled, it’s enough to drive anyone nuts.

But that’s where Roland’s new release steps in. DrumLink, a fresh wireless triggering system developed with Drum Workshop (DW), promises to cut the clutter and streamline your setup. And yeah, it really does.

It’s a modular system built to connect your pads, cymbals, and acoustic triggers without needing a web of wires. For electronic drummers tired of tripping over cables, or hybrid players wanting a cleaner look on stage, DrumLink’s going to hit all the right notes.

At a Glance:

  • Connect up to 30 triggers wirelessly—your kit just got cleaner and way faster to build
  • Works with Roland’s V-Drums, SPD-SX PRO, and DW’s DWe drum sets
  • Includes two core components: WT-10 Trigger Adapter and DH-10 Hub for simple integration

The Two Brains Behind the Setup

At the heart of the DrumLink system are two key pieces: the WT-10 Wireless Trigger Adapter and the DH-10 DrumLink Hub. The WT-10 clips straight to your drums or pads and sends the signal wirelessly. It’s got two inputs, so you can plug in a dual-trigger pad or two singles. That includes hi-hats, cymbals with bow and bell zones, or even your acoustic drum triggers.

Then there’s the DH-10 Hub. This is what captures all those wireless signals—up to 15 WT-10 units at once—and pushes them to your sound module or computer. It connects over USB-C and has a MIDI out too. Whether you’re running a Roland TD-50X or plugging into DW’s Soundworks software, you’re covered.

What makes this thing stand out? For starters, the connection speed. There’s practically zero lag. Roland made sure the wireless triggering feels just like the wired stuff. You won’t notice a difference when you hit a pad, which is a huge deal in performance settings.

Tailored for Roland and DW Drummers

Roland didn’t just stop with adapters and hubs—they’re also rolling out dedicated cymbal packs for DW’s DWe kits. The Roland 4CY-4WT-01 DrumLink Cymbal Pack bundles in Roland’s top-tier CY-16R-T crash/ride pads and VH-10 hi-hat, plus four WT-10 adapters already paired with DW’s own wireless hub. That means if you’ve got a DWe kit, adding Roland’s cymbals is as easy as plug-and-play.

And if you’re building a new setup from scratch?

DW’s offering full kits that come pre-bundled with Roland cymbals and DrumLink adapters right in the box. You won’t need to fuss with compatibility or firmware—it just works out of the gate.

The whole system supports up to 30 instruments at once (depending on your module), so whether you’re building a small kit or a big, hybrid monster rig, DrumLink scales with you. That’s huge for players who use both acoustic and electronic gear in the same setup and want all of it to run without a tangle of cables.

The Bottom Line

DrumLink isn’t about reinventing triggers. It’s about making them easier to use, faster to set up, and cleaner to manage. If you’ve ever spent half an hour taping down wires or troubleshooting connections before a show, this one’s for you. And with Roland and DW teaming up on this, you know it’s built to last.

Whether you’re all-electronic, fully hybrid, or somewhere in between, DrumLink brings some much-needed simplicity to your kit. No more wrestling with cables. Just set up, turn on, and play.
