A complete 5-piece electronic kit packed with features at price that'll allow you to explore electronic drumming without the steep price tag of most kits!

The Yamaha DTXPLORER is an electronic drum set that brings Yamaha's renowned electronic drum technology within reach of the beginner, hobbyist, and educator. The 5-piece electronic drum kit features high-impact single-zone rubber pads with natural feel and rebound, a kick pedal, hi-hat controller module, rack, and coded cabling for easy setup.

At the heart of the DTXPLORER is its compact trigger module, with a 16-bit/32-note polyphony tone generator that produces amazingly realistic, physically modeled voices. Choose from 214 drum and percussion sounds, 22 preset songs, and 32 preset drum kits covering rock, funk, jazz, reggae, and Latin styles. An array of onboard digital effects let you tweak your sound to your liking. Create and store up to 10 custom kits. The module also includes the Groove Check practice feature, a multifunction metronome, backlit LCD display, and simple plug-and-play connections. Auxiliary and MIDI inputs expand the kit's versatility, allowing you to connect to a PC or other device. The headphone output allows quiet practice.

32 Factory Kits, 10 User Kits, 214 Voices
The 32 factory-programmed kits give you a wide variety of kits that can be used in almost any musical situation. The 10 user kits allow you to build custom kits using any of the 214 voices for your particular needs as a musician.

Groove Check with Rhythm Gate
The DTXPL module has Yamaha's popular Groove Check function, but takes it to the next level as a learning tool. You can engage the Rhythm Gate so that when you play out of time the module will mute the drums until you get back in time with the click.

Multi Zone Inputs
The snare input will accept a three-zone pad (not included) giving you the head, rim shot, and cross stick sounds. The cymbal inputs will accept dual zone cymbals and allow cymbal choking.

Includes a Bass Drum Pedal
The DTXPL comes complete with an FP-6210 strap drive pedal so you don't have to purchase a pedal separately.

I bought my set two years ago and love it. Its not a high dollar set but it rocks for a home practice/fun set. I have mine hooked up to a cheap computer speaker system (two speakers and a bass speaker) and I play along to music on my computer through a cheap 5 speaker stereo suround system.

I've read other reviews that say the triggers break down but they must be beating the crap of of them because I've beaten mine over 10 million times (it tells how many hits when you power up) and they sound as good as the day I unpacked them.

They are really addictive when you have company, especially when you mess around with all the voices. I have definitely gotten my moneys worth out of it and then some.

Bought this kit a little over a month ago, really happy with it so far. Plugged it into our PA and it sounded great. I was upstairs while friends were jamming below and I would have thought it was a normal acoustic kit - drum sounds are pretty decent.

Pads trigger pretty well, the ability to customize kits is great - plus MIDI means you can go beyond the onboard sounds, but it does hold its own.

Had to transport it last weekend - if you actually fold it up like the picture it really compresses - fit in my car no problem.

Headphone jack is great for jamming in my apartment, there is no way i'd be able to play an acoustic kit.

I had planned to buy a cheaper kit but Yamaha products are usually well made so I went for this one and would recommend it.

I was very surprised at how good this kit sounds. If your looking for a quiet kit to practice with or a kit to play in church, this would definetly be a kit to consider. I wouldnt recommend it for a true gig. If you hit the toms hard, it will set off the cymbals and the hi hat sometimes opens when you do not move your foot which are things that I can deal with. I would recommend looking into a piano amp as far as speakers go or you can plug in computer speakers also.

I would like to start saying that i love this kit. At first i thought it was kinda boring but after changin some things i relised its pretty good. It took me from playing Rock music like AC/DC to playing Blackend death metal such as Behemoth. i have had it for 2 years and its still good. i would recomend buying a third cymbal. i also think after about 3 years u shoudl upgrade to a DTxtreme 3. over all a great kit!!
