Real sounds that drive the drummer
No compromise has been made in recording the sound of the instruments themselves. The DTX PRO sounds have been fine-tuned to naturally follow the drummer’s performance and allow for maximum expression.
Yamaha, also a manufacturer of acoustic drums, is dedicated to creating realistic drum sounds that stand out in a song to make it more enjoyable to play. The sound in the DTX-PRO consists of sounds recorded in world-renowned studios and with the support of renowned recording engineers. The sound of Yamaha`s iconic Recording Custom kit has been captured and tuned to stand out not just when playing electronic drums on their own, but also when played with a band or mixed with songs.
Performances by leading Yamaha drums artists were recorded and mixed by a team of recording engineers to give the final instrument samples. The project sound director, an electronic musical instrument development professional, specified exacting recording techniques to capture the full detailed sound of each drum and cymbal, from the initial attack, until the very end of the natural sound.
The drum pads, the drummer’s interface with their instrument, have been carefully matched to the DTX-PRO Module to offer excellent expressive capabilities.
Intuitive functionality that stirs creativity
The KIT MODIFIER knobs featured on the DTX-PRO offers drummers limitless possibilities for their creativity.
In order to allow drummers to enjoy the sound make-up of the kit, Yamaha has condensed the know-how gained over many years of experience into the KIT MODIFIER, which consists of three knobs - AMBIENCE, COMP and EFFECT.
The AMBIENCE knob on the KIT MODIFIER controls the natural ambience and reverb of the drum sound. For acoustic drum kits, the knob 0-50% applies authentic ambience components from the recording studio, while 51-100% applies high-quality digital reverb.
The COMP knob provides a compression effect that aligns the grain of the sound and brings it to the fore, while the EFFECT controls an effect optimised for the preset kit.
In some of the latest DTX-PRO firmware V2 kits, the Effect knob can now be used to adjust even realistic resonances and noises, such as shell resonances and snare wire sounds (Bleed function).
Optimum feel
The DTX6 series lets drummers choose between two head materials according to their personal preference, for optimum response when playing.
Yamaha TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) heads feature a unique internal structure that provides a realistic response with realistic hardness and rebound, as well as a treated surface that prevents stick sliding. The result is a natural drum feel that encourages you to keep playing.
The snare and toms boast a feel very close to their respective acoustic counterparts. Their surfaces will never loosen, no matter how many times they are hit, maintaining the best possible feel at all times.
The mesh pads use two-ply heads made by Remo. They boast outstanding noise reduction, durability, and feel when hit, as well as a great rebound, making them superbly comfortable to play. The heads can be tuned to suit your personal preferences.
Features
Superbly Playable
Reproducing the way a drum behaves when struck is a key factor in the playability of electronic drums.
Yamaha has undertaken an exhaustive investigation of how drums respond when hit, leveraging this information to achieve a truly faithful representation of instrument behavior. Moreover, professional drummers from around the world have evaluated the performance of the DTX-PRO, allowing Yamaha to improve its expressive capabilities still more. Yamaha’s expertise as a manufacturer of music hardware has allowed them to offer combinations of expertly crafted modules and pads that deliver superb playability.
A high-performance sound engine that allows for total sound creation
The high-performance sound engine in the DTX-PRO module leverages the technologies that Yamaha has acquired over decades of making musical instruments of all kinds.
Every single channel of the DTX-PRO module has three band, sweepable EQ, channel compression (in addition to the overall kit compression), Transient Adjustment (where the Attack and Release of each sound are individually adjustable) and Insertion effects, to help let drummers recreate their favorite drum sounds.
As a complement to this, Yamaha drum pads feature pad sensing technologies that respond with precise accuracy to the actions of the player, delivering the ultimate in expressive capability that is reflected in the sound.
Reliable Yamaha Hardware
Yamaha's HS650A hi-hat stand is included with the DTX6K2-X and DTX6K3-X. All of the DTX6 Series also uses Yamaha's traditional ball clamps for snare pads, making fine adjustment of settings easy.
Yamaha is also one of the finest acoustic drum makers in the world, and its hardware is trusted by many professional drummers, for its strength, ease of use, and stability.
An extensive range of training functions to support drummers
The best practice functions featured in previous DTX models are also found in the DTX-PRO. As well as the sophisticated programmable metronome, the module offers a comprehensive recorder function, 10 training functions that are ideal for players of all standards, as well as 37 training songs that allow you to learn various genres. Beginners and professionals alike will find the DTX-PRO training functions a useful aid for daily practice.
Professional grade headphone amp
Yamaha realize that it is incredibly important that drummers can hear themselves clearly, so the DTX-PRO module comes equipped with a high precision, low distortion, low noise, and high-power headphone amplifier. This circuitry delivers high-fidelity sound directly to the player, has been developed exclusively for electronic drums, and it envelops the player in realistic drum sounds.
Cubase AI Included
The DTX-PRO comes with a download code for the latest version of "Cubase AI" the powerful music production software.
By connecting the DTX-PRO to your computer with a USB cable, all recording, editing, and mixing tasks, that are found in modern music production, can be handled by the one software program.
