La perfection à portée de....baguettes !

Perfection makes practice... easy

Practicing never felt so good

Becoming a good drummer takes endless hours of dedicated practice. With this in mind, we at Yamaha designed DTXdrums to make practicing more fun, focusing on giving the DTX-PAD a feel that would let drummers simply enjoy playing. The head of the DTX-PAD is filled with air bubbles of a size and density that have been carefully arrayed to provide a feel that actually entices drummers to play. These bubbles also act as a cushion when the drum is hit, so that you can play for extended periods without worrying about harming your arms or wrists. Put simply, the DTX-PAD lets you practice and play more, reaping the benefits of a drum that really feels great.

Any place, any time

For many drummers, finding time and a place to play is difficult. With this in mind, the DTX-PAD has been designed to be much quieter than other electronic drum pads when played, giving you the freedom to play wherever and whenever you like.

Many drummers worry that playing on electronic drums can make the transition back to an acoustic kit difficult. To ensure that this is not a problem the DTX-PAD offers playability startlingly close to that of acoustic drum. The air bubbles in the drum head give the pad itself superb feel and allow great stick control; when played in a kit this provides a uniform, connected feel throughout that translates easily into better drumming.
