    Yamaha DTXtreme

    Yamaha DTXtreme II SPublished on 11/09/03 at 15:00
    I bought this from Bedrock Music, Crawley, because it offered so much more than an acoustic kit could ever do.

    The unit is excellent, with over 90 preset kits to play on and many preset songs to play along with. When you get to grips with the many features you can create your own kits and import or create new songs/recordings yourself.
    All in all this is excellent, not only in its compact yet stylish design but also in its playability and the features it offers.

    The only fault I have found so far with this kit is the price it costs in the first place, but even then it is still relatively good value for money when you consider the features it offers.

    The quality is fantastic, as you would expect from a Yamaha. The 7-ply 3" mahogany drum pads are excellent and the triggers generally work straight off. The DTXtreme unit is well designed and feels sturdy when it is being used.

    This kit is excellent, well worth the high price it costs. The variety of kit types make playing more enjoyable while the quality is easily good enough to meet recording studio needs.

    Warning!
    For those who want to buy it without having to try, its sounds so cool the sampler top ... but frankly everything is 2500 euros for the pad to fear ...
    Potter has a buy without trying and it was a little deu for he saw the ad appears from the skin mesh and many believe ... Well THESE ARE NOT PLASTIC PAD (ClassE.as ..) But a little more pleasant than the DTXPRESS ...
    Tip of the Day Putot BUY THE DTXPRESS III SPECIAL AND A GOOD PC for the price of the DTXTREME II s (1300 euros + pc is using the module in any case ...)

    1 month I use and I am satisfied trs, I love the composition on rack of 4 pads (toms = 4), with a snare drum up more in diameter, charley up also as a true, and also three cymbals, not to mention three areas of sounds on each pad and on the ride. I do not see a default, forcment, the pads make a noise but with a good pad headphones or a good set of speakers is not thinking at all.
    I tried DTXpress 3s which is not bad but it's also a range below, and t 6 and 8 of Roland, this dernire both really great in touch, but the 4th 3rd cymbal pad and Yamaha convinced me!
    I would do without this choice problem.

    The troubles encountered with the drumkit DTXTREME IIS is at the transplanted Stereo sound when I play in a group, the snare does not transmit sound to the sound (at times). on the other hand when I'm alone, running OK. O On the problem may come as a group, we practice the caf-concert. Thank you for a rponse if someone knows my problem.

    Sincerely, it is great!

    Of course, the pads are still in the damn plastic, but their size (almost 14 "anyway) is breathtaking and provides a comfortable game Excellent.

    Trigger problems are unfortunately still relevant, but when we love (music), it does not count (the # of times the DC skip)!

    Hi, I'm just acqureur this electronic drumkit that will replace my Tama Starclassic (which sell for info: nombalierh@hotmail.com). It is useful for m'tre rptitions course and balls (I made 17 years).

    What made me purchase this DCID for this first prize, I saw the Roland TD 12KV which I think is a step up in feel and sound quality, but the 900 d 'cart quickly put a brake on my enthusiasm .... (May be later). The pes deuxime weight for this purchase is the size and configuration gnrale toms (one cymbal and a pad more than the roland). It is important for all of the same cart price.

    THE FIRST impression is plutt good, all seem to be of fairly good quality it's packed in cartons. The aluminum rack is stable and solid (if somewhat galre up the very first time), but I advise you to avoid all the same to disassemble if you like me the ball (between fees and rptitions, it will be disassemble sixty times a year), it folds easily.
    The pads are of good quality it is far enough away from the pad DTXexpress, particulirement regarding the Charleston, as it is mounted on a real pedals.

    The sounds are correct, even if I prfre sounds of snare drums Roland TD12, more practitioner.

    The benefit of DTX-term possibility is the standard by providing the function of the sampler and use a memory card to import sounds, midi files, or the extra memory mentary when creating Kits users.

    the report is qualitprix respect to product purchased at the price of La Rochelle 2290 new (not a product of DMO). 24 months Yamaha warranty.

    I will post a notice in a while that I would know better ;-) bte

    Re bjrs,
    I am again after several months, since I had the opportunity to test some tt ca, I learn every time I Triffouille a bit. (I'm not often at home, PCQ on the road), but I spend a little time I get home.

    I now have a smart media card 128, hard drive to have this one, be a very long book.
    I test the "WAV" can be recorded as 95 seconds in mono, the module and then make a copy, but apparently you can not save it directly on the memory card !!!????! !

    I also test the South, in fact I wish to from the PC, MIDI sequencer, to drum module, save the sequence, but not through, the record keeps returning to a particular page is a brothel without a name, I think I now have a card reader…

    guitarist with my colleague, we would like to add a bass accompaniment noon, when I get to hear a good, low pass in the module, but to save it is something else.
    if you have a tip for those little questions, I will take.

    I just aqurir DTEXTREM IIS module and the cymbals and hi-hat pads. (Attention these would work well with the new module with the old tried and it did not work trs well)
    In fact it is an update of my reflection in the config DTExtrem 1st version.
    The evolution is most sensitive to the comfort of rponse pads cymbals.
    As is also the possibility of sampled sound and able to reproduce them by assigning them to selected pads.
    So it's a great product.
    A BMOL however: it is ncessaire store sampled sounds on a map of SMART MEDIA 3V and that kind of card is not found or ... almost

    So it's excellent hardware with which I play as much live in my house with my band ...

    - How long have you use it?

    1 month now, purchase of ads through AudioFanzine, I use a little every day, and sometimes repeated with some musicians.

    - What is so special that you like most and least?

    - Goodies:

    The rack, nice and stable, all very attractive, good quality hardware and reliable.

    The settings of the individual outputs on the front is great, it allows for two seconds to make a simple balance, the volume of each pad can order for the whole.

    Applicable settings on all the toms, one voice can change the drumkit without having to tamper with the module to move from one floor tom has a serious gong for example, there's no better just turn the knob.

    The rack, nice and stable, all very attractive, good quality hardware and reliable.

    The settings of the individual outputs on the front is great, it allows for two seconds to make a simple balance, the volume of each pad can order for the whole.

    Applicable settings on all the toms, one voice can change the drumkit without having to tamper with the module to move from one floor tom has a serious gong for example, there's no better just turn the knob.

    Formatting kits and editing and much simpler than the DTXpress III, less painful, potentiometers for selection are many.

    - Cons:

    The dynamic range of games is too narrow, the maximum volume of snare is quickly reached, you have to play very qualified to get a clean sound.

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    I tried the full range of HD1 Roland TD20 to Pro Session (with spd-20 and 4 cymbals included) model expo on which I had quite a rate, but nevertheless remains too (much) too expensive.

    I have before a DTXpress III which I apris all, I have almost never played on an acoustic.

    - How would you rate the quality / price?

    Execellent, I agree with the previous user, for a fair price, six barrels, three cymables two with multiple voices, a real hi-hat (a bit noisy), € 00 for 1800 hand there's no better .. .

    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...

    No, I think rather buy a Roland Pintech default, unfortunately I have never tried some, just to play the dynamic range of toms and no GC, cymbals are almost identical to Yamaha.

    - Conclusions:

    I advise all the drummers citizens require a little instrument, perfect companion of the moment or we can adapt a more nuanced notament play on the toms and snare.
