Description of the Yamaha DTXplorer Kit

DTXPLORER – The Yamaha DTXplorer sometimes referred to as the Yamaha DT Explorer is Yamaha's lowest-priced professional-grade 5-piece electronic drum kit. It features 214 high-caliber Yamaha drum and percussion voices, 22 preset songs, 32 preset drum kits, digital effects, and a 16-bit tone generator with 32-note polyphony. High-impact rubber pads with a natural feel and rebound, a sturdy folding rack, and an FP-6110 bass drum pedal complete the set. The DTXPLORER is an ideal kit for practice at home or gigging live.

32 Preset Drum Kits
Rock, Funk, Jazz, Reggae, Latin Percussion, and more - the DTXPLORER supplies you with an excellent selection of drum kits ready for immediate use. You can also create your customized kit and store up to 10 drum kits.

High-Performance Metronome
You can combine clicks at the exact timing as you want to customize your own click patterns. Up to 30 patterns can be saved into the memory area. You can assign a different drum voice like a kick or a snare to each of five click value types (Acc, quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, or triplets). Moreover, individual volume levels for each of the five click beats can be adjusted.

Ideal For Sharpening Your Skills
The DTXPLORER comes with 22 preset songs. You can either mute the drum track (drum mute function) or play the bass part only (bass solo function) to play along with the songs in a virtual session. "Groove Check" function allows you to check on your playing accuracy (timing of hitting pads and how hard you hit pads).

Terminals compatible with a 2-zone pad or a 3-zone pad (optional) are built-in . An acoustic drum can be connected by using YAMAHA Drum Trigger DT20 (optional) .
