Yamaha Electronic Drum Set (DTX6K-X)

Yamaha killed it on this one!! As a seasoned drummer playing for 30+ years (having owned top line of Roland and Yamaha electronic kits before) I've seen the development (and decay also) of all major brands in the market (Roland, Yamaha, Alesis, KAT, Simmons, Pintech, ddrum, etc.)For $1k, this kit is absolutely impressive! Nice responsive pads and cymbals. The snare and ride sound and feel as if you were playing acoustic ones: rim shot, ride bell and edge hits, etc.), rubber pads (toms) don't feel hard at all.Your sound engineer will love the features of the DTX Pro module, I can assure that your sound check won't take longer than 2 minutes and the modulation of your sound is at your total control. Loved the ambience and effects knows, they bring your sound to a pro level. Loved the 1/4 inch cabling all over the kit, quite practical if a cable gets messed up.Easy to assemble, got it up and running in a little less than 1 hr. All parts well packed/protected, and overall nice quality/materials. I have to say that if you have never owned an electronic drumset it might take about 2 hrs to get to put it together, just be patient, it's worth it.I'm looking forward to add more pads and cymbals.Congrats Yamaha, after 25+ years I just renewed my votes with you guys!!!

The sound is plain awesome!

Great purchase my favorite past time

Well what can I say - glorious return of Yamaha brand. I was blown away by the quality of built in drum sets. Tom toms are just wow - very detailed acoustic sound, not that crappy flat sounding nonsense of other brands (including very expensive once). Drum module is very sophisticated and it is the same for all 3 sets . So even with the cheaper one 6kx you will get the top brain which is very pleasant surprise. Overall - very happy - Im a beginner but the dynamics, range, quality of samples make it a sonic marvel which I just cant get enough of.I was searching for eDrums for about a year, was considering buying Roland, but with Roland you either have to pay closer to 2k or you get limited hardware which felt kinda discouraging. Also tried Alesis Simmons - meh, qulity seems crappy.So overall I think Yamaha made a great comeback at the best possible time.

I'm not a drummer but purchased this set to add drums to my personal home recordings. Had a cheap Simmons kit previously which sounded like electronic drums -- no dynamics and you could tell they weren't acoustic drums. The default DTX-PRO kit (Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple series) sounds like real drums. Compares favorably (actually better) to Roland costing more than twice as much. Yamaha hit this one out of the park IMO. Super-pleased and still exploring the range and possibilities of this remarkably good product.

The drum came with a free membership of Freedrum but this module is not supported by the app. Is there a way around this? Why would you give us a membership to an app that doesn’t support this drum kit?

This looks like an ideal instrument for beginners. It has the basics and it's from a good company.

Great for price
