Features of the Yamaha DTXPRESS IV Standard Electronic Drum Kit:

Authentic Sound And Rich Expression

The DTXPRESS IV features a comprehensive selection of acoustic drum sounds including new audio waveforms of our acclaimed Oak Customs Series drums, along with a variety of percussion sounds, effects, and more are found in an expansive sound library that spans 427 voices. An AWM 2 tone generator delivers tone so natural and realistic that it will have your imagination running wild. 50 preset drum kits use a variety of different sounds to cover styles like rock, jazz, reggae, funk, Latin, and much more. And there is also memory supplied for 20 user kits so you can create and save your own original drum kits.

Pad Controller And 3-Zone Pads

Yamaha's 3-zone snare, ride cymbal, and crash pads are designed to produce up to three different voices, each from a different part of the pad. The snare pad in the Special Set is designed with a pad controller that gives you control over parameters like snare adjustment, pitch, etc., giving you playability that comes extremely close to that of an acoustic drum.

Feels Real, Plays Quiet

The way they feel, the way they play, the way they respond, it's all so close to acoustic drums. And all of that great sound and playability can be enjoyed in private, because the rubber pads keep actual sound output to a minimum. The rack system offers flexible pad placement and rock-solid stability while being compact and light weight. The DTXPRESS IV - its performance is nothing less than brilliant, and it excels in both practice and live situations.

Precision Metronome And Sequencer

The DTXPRESS IV also features the same precision metronome system that received high acclaim when introduced in the DTXPLORER. The multi-beat metronome offers fine-tuning of subdivision beats, and individual voice and pitch settings for subdivision click sounds. Groove Check function, tap function, and rhythm gate function, which only allows notes played in time to be produced, are included and feature easy, normal, and pro-grade level settings. New to these great training functions is the Challenge Mode, which automatically adjusts the level setting to help you excel in your training. The built-in sequencer's 44 internal songs are great for sharpening your rhythm skills. You can mute the drum part and play along with the song, or mute everything but the bass part (Bass Solo function) and play along with just the bass part. You can also record your own performance data in real time and then listen to the playback. 19 pad songs are also included.

DTXP4

The DTXPRESS IV features an excellent selection of Yamaha acoustic drum samples including new audio waveforms of Yamaha Oak Series acoustic drums that deliver powerful tone with a solid fundamental. The unit is also compatible with 3-zone pads and pad controller functions, giving it greater expressive power and playability. A large LED dis- play makes viewing information, such as tempo or modes, easy to see at a glance.

DTXP4 - AUX IN

With a CD, MP3, or other audio player connected to this jack, you can play along with your favorite recordings. (Drum parts cannot be muted on audio recordings.)

DTXP4 - MIDI OUT

Transmit drum performance as MIDI data to an external device.

DTXP4 - Snake Cable Makes Setup Easy

Optimal cable lengths between the module and pads keep the wiring neat. Pad names are labeled on the plug ends for quick and easy wiring.

PCY130SC Cymbal Pad (3-zone)

This DTX kit has 13" 3-zone cymbal pads in which each area of the pad, edge and bell produces a different tone. The natural "vibration" of the live cymbal sound can be faithfully reproduced.

TP65S Drum Pad (3-zone)

Don't let the compact size of the TP65S mislead you. Its 3-zone design lets you play head, open rim shot, and closed rim shot sounds all from the same pad. Authentic feel and excellent playability make it perfect for use as a snare pad, but it excels as a hi-hat pad as well.

TP65 Drum Pad (Single-zone)

This compact 8.5" single-zone pad is easy to play and offers a feel and rebound that is very close to an acoustic drum.

KP65 Kick Pad

Large rubber pad is big enough for a double foot pedal setup. Plays quietly with very natural feel.

HH65 Hi-Hat Controller

This foot pedal can produce a full range of hi-hat effects such as full open, full closed, half open, and foot splash.

RS70 Rack System

A hi-hat pad attaches to this rack system that is designed for use with the Standard Set. Its compact design is highly durable.

Standard Set configuration:

• DTXP4 (Trigger Module)


• RS70 (Rack System)


• DTP4K2STD (Pad Set)
