Introducing the Yamaha DTX6K5-M: Create. Connect. Inspire.

Yamaha is proud to launch the DTX6K5-M, a high-performance electronic drum kit designed to inspire drummers of all skill levels. Packed with professional-grade features, cutting-edge technology, and Yamaha's legendary craftsmanship, the DTX6K5-M promises an unparalleled drumming experience. Whether you're a beginner, a seasoned performer, or a studio musician, the DTX6K5-M is built to inspire. Its robust design, innovative features, and superior sound quality make it a perfect choice for any drumming style or setting. The kit's compact configuration ensures it fits comfortably in practice spaces, home studios, and live stages.

Unmatched Sound Quality and Customization

At the heart of the DTX6K5-M is the DTX-PRO module, which offers 70 preset kits, 200 user kits, and over 700 voices. Leveraging Yamaha's world-class recording expertise, the sounds are faithfully reproduced with real studio-quality ambience and dynamics.

The DTX-PRO also introduces the Kit Modifier, a set of three intuitive knobs—Ambience, Compression, and Effect—that empower drummers to instantly transform their sound, from natural acoustic tones to custom-engineered studio effects. These controls provide endless possibilities, from natural acoustic tones to creative soundscapes crafted by top engineers and producers.

The module's individual inputs allow for easy hybrid setups, enabling drummers to expand their kit with additional pads or integrate electronic and acoustic elements.

Exceptional Playability and Feel

The DTX6K5-M is equipped with 2-ply mesh drumheads for a realistic feel and quiet operation. Its centerpiece is the 12-inch XP120L-M mesh snare, offering responsive playability and two-zone functionality. The kit also includes three 10-inch XP100L-M mesh toms, designed to replicate the feel of acoustic drums. With a 7.5-inch KP90 kick tower wide enough for double bass pedals, this kit caters to versatile drumming styles.

The cymbals are equally impressive, featuring two 13-inch PCY135 crash cymbals and a 15-inch PCY155 3-zone ride cymbal with positional sensing, providing nuanced expression and natural choke/mute capabilities. The 13-inch RHH135 hi-hat, mounted on a sturdy HS650A hi-hat stand, offers realistic pedal control, ensuring the kit feels like an acoustic setup.

Advanced Features for Creativity

The DTX6K5-M is more than a drum kit; it's a complete creative platform. With the free DTX-TOUCH app, drummers can layer up to four sounds per pad, stack two effects, and customize their kits with ease.

The advanced USB audio and MIDI streaming capabilities enable seamless connectivity for recording, streaming, and integration with Yamaha's Rec'n'Share app, letting players create professional-quality videos without additional equipment.

Advanced Training Features

The DTX6K5-M is equipped with Yamaha's renowned training tools, designed to help drummers improve faster. The programmable metronome offers advanced timing functions, while the built-in recorder allows drummers to review and refine their performance. The module also includes 37 training songs across various genres and 10 unique practice modes, making it the ultimate tool for mastering rhythm and technique.
