Yamaha Pro Audio DTX6K5-M Electronic Drum Set with Mesh Heads

The DTX6K5-M is an excellent choice for drummers looking for a kit that grows with their musical progress, thanks to its large-diameter, 2-ply mesh pads and a rack system that allows for a wide variety of configurations and additional components. The powerful DTX-PRO module delivers standout sounds for many musical genres, along with additional features such as compatible apps and practice functions, enhancing your daily performance experience. Yamaha is dedicated to delivering the expressive power of an acoustic drum lineup into the full range of DTX Series electronic drum sets. Voices in the DTX-PRO consist of meticulously recorded sounds captured in world-renowned studios with the support of renowned recording engineers. The sounds of each kit, including the iconic Recording Custom, have been captured and tuned to stand out not only when playing electronic drums solo, but also when played with a band or mixed with songs. Drummers may easily harness the full potential of the DTX-PRO module thanks to the KIT MODIFIER, which consists of three knobs: AMBIENCE, COMP, and EFFECT. These controls condense years of Yamaha know-how and experience into a powerful, yet simple tool kit. With firmware V2.00, the EFFECT knob may also be used to adjust and blend realistic resonances and noises, such as shell resonances and snare wire sounds, via the bleed function.

Yamaha focuses on a playing feel similar to that of acoustic drums - especially when it comes to the snare drum and ride cymbal - two highly versatile parts of the kit. The newly developed 12" diameter, 3-Piezo mesh snare pad and 15" ride cymbal pad are included standard. The snare and tom pads use the same hoops and tunable lugs as acoustic drums for a realistic playing experience. The included Yamaha hi-hat stand, which is known for its quality and functionality for use with acoustic drums, works perfectly with the electronic hi-hat pad - allowing you to enjoy the same set up as your acoustic drums. All cymbal pads in the DTX6K5-M are three-zone, which corresponds to different edge, bow and cup sounds. They can also be choked or muted by grabbing the edge of the pad. The ride cymbal offers positional sensing, altering its sound based on where it's struck. Enabled by the DTX-PRO module's high-definition sampling, it accurately reproduces delicate cymbal play.
