Yamaha DTX6K5M Digital Drum Kit

The DTX6K5-M offers playability closer to that of acoustic drums, thanks to its large-diameter pads and a rack that allows flexible setup options. Its sound module delivers standout sounds in any song, along with additional features such as compatible apps and practice functions, enhancing your daily performance experience.

Drum sounds that stand out more prominently in the music

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 the kits including 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.

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.

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).

With a feeling similar to that of acoustic drums

Yamaha, also a manufacturer of acoustic drums, focuses on a playing feel similar to that of acoustic drums. The snare drum and ride cymbal are the most frequently played pads. The 12" large-diameter newly developed 3-Piezo mesh snare pad and 15" ride cymbal pad feature as standard. The snare pad and tom pads use the same hoops as acoustic drums for realistic playing feel.

The Yamaha hi-hat stand included, which is known for its quality and functionality for acoustic drums, works perfectly with the hi-hat pad and allows your to enjoy the same set up as your acoustic drums.

All cymbal pads in the DTX6K5-M are three-zone pads, which corresponds to different edge, bow and cup sounds. These cymbals can also be choked or muted by grabbing the edge of the pad. The ride cymbal offers positional sensing, altering its sound based on where it's struck. Enabled by the DTX-PRO module’s high-definition sampling, it accurately reproduces delicate cymbal play.

The DTX series offers tools to help you improve efficiently so that you can enjoy playing drums for a long time. The DTX-PRO module has 10 training functions unique to electronic drums.
