Percussion, when looked at in a certain way, is the backbone of music. That’s certainly what drummers will tell you — but if you’ve got roommates or neighbours, drumming seems like a less enticing skill to take up, unless you can invest in a quality electronic drum kit, which eliminates that glaring obstacle. No more shaking the windows with thumping beats and crashing cymbals, just studio-quality sound broadcast straight into headphones or a speaker of your choice.
If you’re looking for said quality electronic kit, you don’t need to look much further than the Yamaha DTX series, contemporary instruments made with the same design principles Yamaha has used since its earliest drum models in 1967, and on the acoustic kits it manufactures to this day.
With your choice of mesh or Yamaha’s proprietary TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) heads, the DTX8 and DTX10 series kits, in particular, offer advanced functionality without compromising the feel of a classic drum kit, ideal for the drummer who wants total control over every detail of their sound, whether they’re first giving the sticks a twirl or a seasoned player looking for some great value gear to level up their sound.
Yamaha’s DTX-PRO module is included with DTX8 series kits. It comes with all the bells and whistles, not losing the classic shells of an acoustic kit, but coming packed with 70 preset kits, realistic shell resonance and snare wire sounds, fine-tuning on the sounds with 3 Kit Modifiers and the advanced recording software and a companion app.
The DTX-PROX of the DTX10 series goes even further with realistic acoustic design, all of the aforementioned perks, plus an additional 20 preset kits, 30 extra cymbal voice options and more bonuses. No matter the specifics, all Yamaha electronic drums borrow acoustic design principles to respond to every detail in a player’s technique, creating an always-reliable and quality sound, no matter the setting for a gig or plans for a mix.
There’s a very generous cherry on top of these two choices. From now until March 31st, any customer who purchases a unit from the DTX8 series will receive $400 cashback, while any customer who picks up something from DTX10 will receive $600 cashback. This offer is available for all registered units from any retail partner and dealer. Visit the Yamaha website for more information.
