Studio-Quality Sounds

Performances by leading Yamaha drums artists were recorded and mixed by a team of recording engineers to provide the final instrument samples in the module. With the Version 2 update the module now features 100 different preset kits, including the sounds of the Yamaha Recording Custom and PHX drum sets.

Kit Modifier Controls

In the KIT MODIFER, the experience of Yamaha and our voicing that has been cultivated over the years, has been condensed into three knobs: Ambience, Compression, and Effect. With the simple twist of a knob, it is possible to express a wide range of sounds, from natural acoustic to the unique sounds created by professional engineers and producers.

LED Rotary Faders

The seven LED rotary faders can be used to change the parameters of all the instruments. With the fader select knob, you can select your preferred option from six presets (with 14 sub presets) and control it intuitively with the LED rotary faders. Additionally, the LED rotary faders can be used to control connected external devices and DAW software, in studio and live situations.

Connectivity

With unparalleled sounds, functionality, and stage presence the DTX8K-PROX Series is recommended for all drummers looking for a superior performance when rehearsing, performing live or recording. The module is equipped with 8 individual outputs and a matrix that allows routing to any output. The AUX IN jack sockets can receive the monitor signal from a PA system and can also be routed to different locations. The USB port can be directly connected to a computer or smart device with a cable to send and receive audio and MIDI. Furthermore, it's equipped with MIDI IN/OUT to allow you to connect to MIDI devices. The Bluetooth function allows you to easily connect smart devices, and you can also record your performance, and audio from other devices, to a USB flash memory.

Mesh Drum Pads

The mesh pads sport dual-layer Remo heads for superior durability, quiet play, and a natural, responsive feel. Tunable to your liking, they offer a satisfying rebound that keeps every hit comfortable. The snare pad features three precision sensors that capture even the subtlest stick movements with accuracy.

Acoustic-Style Design

The pads feature wooden birch drum shells which are made and painted at Yamaha acoustic drum factories. The badges, lugs, and hoops are also standard acoustic drum parts. These shells offer the presence and beauty of authentic acoustic drums and give the drums a greater presence and stage appeal.

Cymbal Pads

All cymbal pads feature 3-zones, meaning they all produce different sounds at the edge, bow, and cup, as well as choke and mute functionality. The 15” ride cymbal comes equipped with a hit point detection function allowing them to reproduce delicate stick work.

Recording and Streaming

Advanced streaming USB audio and MIDI information allows connectivity to numerous devices for recording, streaming and the Rec’n’Share app without additional input gear. Create high-quality videos for your socials without leaving the drum throne. The module includes individual inputs allowing for hybrid setups or easily augmenting the kit with more pads.

Creative Layering

The ability to layer up to four sounds per pad, along with stacking two different effects ignites creativity and allows you to customize your sound with professional studio quality.

For Stage and Studio

When you demand high-definition sounds, flagship performance and a configuration that is build for both stage and studio, look no further than the DTX8K-PROX Series.
