All user reviews for the Yamaha DTXPLORER

How long have you use it?
Almost 6 years now.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Pros: Sturdy, she had periods of heavy use, and almost two years in the middle blank. it still meets the same after so long. In short, the input range of Yamaha at the time, it's still quality.
Cons: I was asked several settings at startup, I had some sounds that are triggered when I tapped other elements - I hit a bear - but still, the crash that fires alone during a descent toms, it is never significant.
Not too complicated settings to manual in hand.
Once they did, more problems on that side, but we can not necessarily use a crash / tom combo at the same time.
In general, the recovery is not natural, and the absence of a multi-zone pad on CC seems embarrassing in hindsight.


Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I tried several in-store Yes, after I was a student at the time of purchase and it was a sacred investment!
So the budget has motivated me in the first place, but I thought it was also more comfortable to play a Roland HD1 can connect a double pedal, more sounds available kit "user", and especially to my great size, a significant modularity element placement.

How would you rate the quality / price?
Correct. I think now, since it is largely pays for the purchase.

With experience, you do again this choice?
In the same context, probably, yes.
Then, with a bigger budget, I would have probably opted for a Roland or Yamaha more upscale, with pads at the best hit, bounce, multizone sensors ...
But for use in apartments, record a drum midi (with sounds on the computer so), work out, make a beef unexpectedly at home, or just have fun, it really is nickel.
And it is solid!

- How long have you use it?
6 months

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The best feature is that with lh'abitude is almost like a acpoustique and placement of pads is really large, the worst is that Oart els pads stand out quite often so the challenge palces before they "tobent" regularly ...

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes, Rolands ..

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Really good quality sacahnt that I got a new € 600
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes has anyone wishing to begin the electronic drums, it's really good ^ _ ^

Finally I Reue! I had command of Headquarters Thomann for 759 + with chopsticks.
Then it's time to give you my impressions on this remire toy.

I must say I t durpris enjoyable by rebondus rubber. When I had tried, it seemed to me that the rods bounced less.

Regarding the installation is very simple. The rack mount dj while there are only 2 screws to attach to a module, and always fix the rest with wheels. CBAL The spars are tied together and some parts for easy connections. Each jack is a label for easy retrieval.

The grip is quite simple, the only small difficulty RSID in the configuration of the sensitivity and volume of each pad. The tom alto silent evil rgl and took me at least ... pfiouu! 10 minutes! But if we RULES well, you can play notes pianissimo as the sensors are capable of DTECT trs trs low blows. As for the module it is very simple to use!
The bass drum pedals and hi-hat are correct and they look pretty solid, even if the hi-hat pedals is a little hard to crack.



The sound quality: Ben I found pretty good! Mention specially for the echo effect that makes particulirement well. I cr me a personal kit to play with my sound prfrs cc and toms. The sounds range from rock to jazz to the voices and gongs tibtains mixes.

Intgres music are nice, and we can remove the drumkit to play with the help of mtronome. Even if you can not play (like me), one would think a little ^ ^

For storage, the top: no need to disassemble the pads, just enough to bend and give a:


You will notice the beautiful posters

In conclusion, I would say it's an excellent choice for beginners who have a nudget tight enough.

I have the DTXPLORER since last June, I'm a beginner drummer, and I can tell you that this drumkit is a marvel. I'm a fan of metal so I bought a double pedal bass drum, by working 210 to black, the bass drum does not take all the blows, and leaves a hole .......... ..
the sounds of cymbals and ..... horrible feeling pads and not too bad.
Please note you will see that there are several playback and 132 drum sounds, it's not really the case, it's pure drumkit has to be about 30 the rest of it Mxxxx! sounds techno, hip hop, but no drums, backing tracks are inaudible. We must tap on the pads, good shots to make it work, do not try the subtlety of games is nonexistent!
This drumkit is good for small budget, but I'll sell it and I'm going to take a cheap Roland TD 6, a thousand times better, be careful with this purchase, you have to really try and not to rock even months of metal ....

- How long have you use it?
few days (I have to buy it)
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Easily transportable, quiet when playing with headphones not worry about the neighbors, the pads are good quality samples and its nice, really very good drumkit for electric train home! What I like least is the base of the hat, very hard to play on the opening and closing to charley effects .. .. but hey you can not ask too much
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I had quick try in the shops Rolands but expensive, or I made quite a few years since the drumkit on an acoustic, so it has nothing to do on her but it's nice also with full potential of the electronic (connection to PC, full of different samples, many adjustments, auxiliary connection .. etc. ..)
- How do you report qualitprix?
This is the highlight of this drumkit for a really attractions with (especially since I had occasion 550 in perfect condition) the good quality are therefore very good value quality above price if it is for rptter in apartment!
Tip: If you have a small budjet save for the cella or found in good time but avoid the drumkit brand unknown - 500, a gear con you loose very quickly!
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Ben I saw a short experience I will say Yes, but after the many tips and advice that I had I think I would have my money!

Here are my print today, I just sell it ...

I used this drumkit 8 months.
It is very convenient to store because it does not take place
was my first drum machine
the quality / price is right
With experience, I would do not have that choice for several reasons:

1/The hard plastic pads offer a bounce very far from reality!
2/The sound is okay with headphones but when amplifies everything, Ouch! it's rather an earache! Electronics is very very ...
3/La computer music seems very complicated with this drumkit! To leave a sound on a PC, you will have to spend a little money (in a sequencer notament).

Short! To play at or with a headset, move quietly, it's great! But if you're already playing in groups like me and an acoustic drum, you may be disappointed! but hey, for the price, you can not really expect more .... I would say it was worth the money!

- How long have you use it?
2 months
- What is so special that you like most and least?
I like the bounce and the possibilities of sound as a game
I do not like the bass drum pad, too noisy for my taste
but strength and quality are there!
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
yes, all models in 1000E, and very strong and more
- How would you rate the quality / price?
it is more than Corret!
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
yes, because the others are less practical or too loud, I recommend it!
It is true that the qualities of sounds do not approach a lot of acoustic, but to work the finger can not not ask pe +

* How long have you use it?
It's been a little over a year.

* What is so special that you like best?
The bounce and feel for the toms and snare. At that price, it can hardly be better. The kit itself is well thought out, easy to use and compact. The sounds are pretty well made and there are many possible settings. In addition, the training function are well thought out and built-in metronome is handy and useful when working with various exercises.

* What is so special that you like the least?
The cymbals and hi-hat. Common I think most of the electronic drums of this price, the cymbals do not choke, are "simple-zones" and if the sensitivity of the strike is detected, only the volume of sound changes, and it's not same (no possibility of "rider" a crash). The hi-hat sounds a bit "soft" and lack of a real movement of the foot and two cymbals I miss.

* Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Not much, but the standard (TD3 Roland TD6 and as well as DTXpress III and IV).

* How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent. I got more than the current price (at that time the only real competitor was the TD3). But still, this drumkit is much better than HD1, good sound, good feel and especially the possibility of adding a TRUE double pedal.

* With experience, you do again this choice?
Maybe not. I had at the time of Sonor Force 505 that I might have a better feeling for triggée and less noise: the rubber pads are proving a bit noisy for the entourage.
That said, I advise all beginners or those with a tight budget wanting to practice without disturbing the neighbors too.

* How long have you use it?
A little over a year. Live and in the repeat.

* What is so special that you like most and least?
* Goodies:
- The price content, modularity (I reversed the ride and the round pad that serves as the source of hi-hat), the possibility of extension.
I then added a dual-zone cymbal, suddenly I could put the 1-zone cymbal in its place and the pad which was affected by left floor tom + +.
Good surprise: the extra tom found his connection to the decision "in" the bass drum pedal, congratulations to Yamaha scalability of this product! Then just map the good sound, fastoche.
- You can easily customize the layout of the pads to the morphology:
I read an opinion that was too close to the cymbals: It is very easy to place them elsewhere, like everything else. I measure 1m90 and I do not feel at all cramped.
In fact, I had the arm that supports the snare toms in viola and medium, so the pad is positioned between my knees (see photo)
The range of settings allows to have a big sound good live and something more subtle for studio sessions.
Like any electronic gear, he must dare to leave the presets and take the time to create his (her) own set.
- It is also elegant, it is a subjective opinion, but after all I'm here to give my opinion, right?
- Probable Evolution: A snare 8 "dual-zone. Silicone or rubber, I have not decided yet.

* Cons:
- At this price, I do not see, there are better, but always (much) more expensive.
- Touch is perhaps not the top, but the bounces are healthy and allow for rapid turnover.
- Come on, maybe the hi-hat pedal is hard to "feel", but the sensitivity is adjustable, and it is always better than the simple "on-off"!
Another negative: The bass drum has a tendency to move when you loose a little in, attention to surface, a carpet with shaved hair turned towards you and it does.
- I could not judge the sound of the pads themselves, playing in groups, with Marshall's everywhere ...

* Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I used an ultra-portable drumkit (it's good to carry on the bike, and hit a cow, no more) and tried the really big stuff in the store.
It is clear that the feel and sound of the DTXPLORER are below a big sister to 2500 Roros ...

* How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent, only the Roland HD1 is comparable, but you have to choose: the ergonomic compact Roland or Yamaha?

* With experience, you do again this choice? ...
At the same budget, without any hesitation.
Otherwise I start on a DTX540K, more expensive of course ...

In conclusion, I do not regret my purchase, I have plenty of time to change my pace, without ruining my budget.

For how long have you been using it?
Since about 4 months

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
not tros: Roland HD1 and alesis

What thing do you like most/least about it?
most: the posibility of creating its own kik, the space between the pad and the possibility of them away raproche ext and quality of touch and sound
minimum: the bass drum a little noisy but its share so good

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
EXCELLENT baterie a good quality headset with a € 669 seat and sticks (in milonga music)

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
I have a good I do not need to have two but ...
