Product Information

This feature, usually found only on more expensive e-drums, will allow you to sound far more authentic. Serious value for the financially-minded drummer that still wants to get the best sound possible from their kit.

The app also works with the Rec’ n’ Share app, which is available on Android and iOS, so you can perform your favourite music and share it with the world, directly from the module. You can view this information while playing in Training Mode and learn how to play preset songs with instructional videos featuring industry professionals.

The Yamaha DTX402K electronic drum kit is an upgrade to the DTX400 series with new and improved features including a redesigned rack to ensure the kit has better balance, the firm placing of the drum pad and a seamless personalisation of the kit to the taste and comfort of the drum player. We sell bundles designed for beginners which include everything you need to start playing right away. Simply touch the drum pads on your screen to change or select a sound, and edit them with tuning, volume, panning, mute and reverb to create your own sound quickly and easily.

With 10 top training functions focused on timing, speed, and precision, the DTX module is the perfect partner in your drumming journey. This also makes it easy to move the kit around for performances as you do not need to totally dismantle the kit to take it for a gig or a mini trip. The Yamaha DTX402K is a sturdy, reliable electronic drum kit that lends itself well for new players, or anyone transitioning from an acoustic to electric drum kit setup.I turned the module on and had a flick through the 10 built-in kits to see what the Yamaha DTX402 has to offer. The DTX Pro module provides many processing options, and thanks to the Kit Modifier controls on the top panel, you can apply and manipulate your sounds in real time. The feel you get playing on this pad is similar to what obtains playing on a regular rubber drum practice pad.

Both pedals are sensor-based, so there's no bass drum pad to hit - and while that's not the best for right-foot development, it helps to reduce the residual playing noise massively. The Alesis Nitro Mesh kit is the best way to experience the feeling of playing a full drum kit on a tight budget. The double-layer mesh heads are designed to resemble acoustic heads, with fantastic response and stick bounce. They even benefit from Yamaha’s esteemed range of quality acoustic kits, many of which have been sampled meticulously for DTX modules.

Authentic hi-hat stand – The authentic hi-hat stand gives you the feel and response of a true hi-hat cymbal with a reactive pedal that feels like the real thing. It’s not cheap by any means, but that’s not a surprise when you consider the top-quality build and capabilities at its disposal. To start playing on the DTX582K drum kit, you’ll also need a pair of headphones, a pair of drumsticks, a bass pedal and a drum stool or throne. I’ve made sure that all the electronic drum sets in this article have pads and brains that are up to scratch based on your particular needs as a drummer.

And actually, the TD-1K’s sounds are arguably the best of the bunch, despite being the smallest pool. A metronome, play-along music, recording function, timing and tempo tests, MIDI/USB connectivity, and a stereo-in to play along to your own favourite music through an audio device. Lush acoustic sound – The 12 drum kits presets you’ll get straight out of the box, simply sound nothing less than gorgeous, thanks in equal parts to the natural dynamic range, studio-quality sound recording, and strikingly accurate response. Each of the sounds felt authentic to their style and responded to playing dynamics a lot better than I imagined it would.

Specially designed for drummers at any skill level, the DTX402 Touch has 10 Training Modes designed to make you a better player, faster. Check out the demo video below to see this drum kit in action (in this video, they use an amp, but the drummer playing would normally be listening to this sound through headphones). The LED buttons for the ten kit presets are used cleverly for the timing challenges by acting as a scale of accuracy.
