Yamaha DTXPLORER Electronic Drum Kit :: Drum Kits :: Percussion :: Hardware

The Yamaha DTXPLORER is an electronic drum set that brings Yamaha's renowned electronic drum technology within reach of the beginner, hobbyist, and educator. The 5-piece electronic drum kit features high-impact single-zone rubber pads with natural feel and rebound, a kick pedal, hi-hat controller module, rack, and coded cabling for easy set-up.

At the heart of the DTXPLORER is its compact trigger module, with a 16-bit/32-note polyphony tone generator that produces amazingly realistic, physically modeled voices. Choose from 214 drum and percussion sounds, 22 preset songs, and 32 preset drum kits covering rock, funk, jazz, reggae, and Latin styles. An array of onboard digital effects let you tweak your sound to your liking. Create and store up to 10 custom kits. The module also includes the Groove Check practice feature, a multifunction metronome, backlit LCD display, and simple plug-and-play connections. Auxiliary and MIDI inputs expand the kit's versatility, allowing you to connect to a PC or other device. The headphone output allows quiet practice.

32 Factory Kits, 10 User Kits, 214 Voices
The 32 factory-programmed kits give you a wide variety of kits that can be used in almost any musical situation. The 10 user kits allow you to build custom kits using any of the 214 voices for your particular needs as a musician.

Groove Check with Rhythm Gate
The DTXPL module has Yamaha's popular Groove Check function, but takes it to the next level as a learning tool. You can engage the Rhythm Gate so that when you play out of time the module will mute the drums until you get back in time with the click.

Multi Zone Inputs
The snare input will accept a three-zone pad (not included) giving you the head, rim shot, and cross stick sounds. The cymbal inputs will accept dual zone cymbals and allow cymbal choking.

Includes a Bass Drum Pedal
The DTXPL comes complete with an FP-6210 strap drive pedal so you don't have to purchase a pedal separately.

I was very surprised at how good this kit sounds. If your looking for a quiet kit to practice with or a kit to play in church, this would definetly be a kit to consider. I wouldnt recommend it for a true gig. If you hit the toms hard, it will set off the cymbals and the hi hat sometimes opens when you do not move your foot which are things that I can deal with. I would recommend looking into a piano amp as far as speakers go or you can plug in computer speakers also.

This was my first drum kit. It took me from barely even being able to do a simple rock or punk beat to playing Slayer, and other similar bands. Lots of customization so you can get the sound you want out of each and every pad. The 10 user sets come very hand when you play a wide variety of bands and songs that all have very different sounding toms and bass drums.

Get it if you are a beginner or looking for a kit to practice on. For gigging I'd go with a higher-end model.

I love my drums! The pads sound really good however I wish th cymbals had a better dynamic range. I figured out how to maniuplate the hi hat controler to be another bass pedal when you close it. It's not the same, but it will work until I'm able to afford my Gibralters. I learned how to play a lot of good songs with this set and I'll be taking it with me to college. It sounds amazing with head phones so I won't be disturbing anybody. Overall, I think it's a really great set and I'm very happy with it. Everything sounds good and my only discrepancy is that I wish the cymbals sounded a little better.

I bought my set two years ago and love it. Its not a high dollar set but it rocks for a home practice/fun set. I have mine hooked up to a cheap computer speaker system (two speakers and a bass speaker) and I play along to music on my computer through a cheap 5 speaker stereo suround system.

I've read other reviews that say the triggers break down but they must be beating the crap of of them because I've beaten mine over 10 million times (it tells how many hits when you power up) and they sound as good as the day I unpacked them.

They are really addictive when you have company, especially when you mess around with all the voices. I have definitely gotten my moneys worth out of it and then some.
