MGR/Anonymous « Yamaha DTXPRESS Digital Drum Set »
Published on 06/28/01 at 15:00I bought it at a sale at the local music store for $675.00. I bough a Tubeworks 200 Watt Bass Amp for $375.00. It does not come with a bass pedal, but you can use the one from your acoustic set, so I did that.
This set is great! It has over 1,000 preprogrammed sounds, and you can program each drum to trigger different and/or multiple sounds. It comes with 48 preprogrammed drum kits, and 48 user kits, where you program your own sounds. It is very user friendly and easy to use. It has a built-in metronome. You can plug in your CD or MD player and play along with those songs, or you can play along with the 96(I think?!?) programmed songs and record your performances on tracks 97- 124. You can turn the volume down for practicing or use headphones. It is also easy to plug into a PC, Mac, Or MIDI device for data transfer. If you want to, you can take the drum heads off of your acoustic kit and put the triggers inside for a cool feel and sound. The most amazing thing about this unit is its size. When extended, it is as big as a regular kit, but when folded it gets so compact that it is just amazing!
The only thing I didn't like was that to create rim trigger events, you must have the TP80 pads, but it comes with the TP60s, but it is still a great kit, and I will never get another acoustic kit again.
This unit is great. It has held up well. The most amazing thing about this kit is its compactness. It folds up to be so small, you could fit it in any car. I have even fit it in the trunk of a tiny 2 seater CRX!
I definitely got my money's worth. I recommend this kit to everyone.
This kit is great!
