Yamaha DTX6K-X Electronic Drum Set

Yamaha DTX6K-X Electronic Drum Set

The DTX6 Series features the innovative KIT MODIFIER, which sparks creativity and delivers superb performance in a compact configuration.

The original Yamaha TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) head used in the flagship models combines with real sound and ambience recorded in a world-renowned studio to provide an authentic playing experience.

The DTX6 Series is recommended for all drummers who want to have fun, play like a pro and hope to easily transfer their skills to acoustic drums.

Real sounds that drive the drummer
No compromises have been made in recording the sound of the instruments themselves - the key to any drum sound along with the ambience of the place where they are played. The DTX-PRO has been fine-tuned to follow the drummer's performance and allow for maximum expression.

Intuitive functionality that stirs creativity
The KIT MODIFIER featured on the DTX-PRO offers drummers limitless possibilities.

Kit Modifier condenses the sound creation know-how that Yamaha has accumulated over decades into three knobs: AMBIENCE, COMPRESSION, and EFFECT. A wide range of tonal possibilities are availablefrom the natural sound of acoustic drums through to live performance sounds carefully crafted by engineers.

The AMBIENCE knob controls the reverberation of the drum sound; for an acoustic drum kit, up to 50% of the memory features the real ambience components of the recording studio, while 51-100% is high-quality digital reverb.

The COMP and EFFECT knobs utilize the "1 knob" control technology featured in Yamaha PA products.

COMP controls the compression effect and brings them to the front, while EFFECT controls effects that have been optimized for preset kits.

A playing experience in a class of its own
The DTX6 Series is equipped with TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) heads providing unparalleled levels of feel and quietness.

Yamaha's original TCS head uses a foamed silicone material that contains innumerable air bubbles. With the perfect level of firmness and rebound that allows players to hit hard, TCS offers a natural, pleasant feel that inspires you to want to keep playing, and because the surface never loosens, every strike feels perfect.

In addition, a unique floating structure without any direct contact with the head and body parts prevents vibration from being transmitted elsewhere, while also improving sensitivity, and the air bubbles in the TCS head serve as a cushion to soften the stick sound.
