The Yamaha DTX10 combines a genuine drum feeling with first-class studio sound. The DTX10K-M defines the new high end of the Yamaha E-Drums range with Yamaha‘s new Mesh Head Pads. Packed with professional sounds and features for serious players who demand cutting edge performance, it uses Yamaha‘s distinctive technology to create a real flagship electronic kit. It combines Yamaha‘s world class acoustic drum history with the newest in digital drumming, sampling, and music technology.

Thanks to it’s 17 inch PCY175 3-zone cymbal pad with positional sensing, the voicing on this electronic kits ride cymbal is more real than ever before, realistically emulating the dynamics and articulation that can be achieved with an actual ride cymbal! The DTX10, which uses the DTX-PROX module, is the new flagship of the Yamaha e-drums range, offering a highly realistic feel, superior sound, precise workmanship, and an authentically natural look. Various connectivity options for computers and mobile devices like Bluetooth® and USB turn the DTX10 into comprehensive control centres for percussive sounds.

The RS10-HXR Hexrack rack systems has been redesigned to facilitate a particularly light and flexible setup for DTX10. The left side of both racks is open, allowing for easy placement of hi-hat and double bass drum pedals. Extensive adjustment options make it easy to set up the system for perfect performances both for right and left hand players.

The L-shaped rack combines the classic design of an acoustic drum set with the stability required for durability and reliability. The mesh versions of the pads offer a custom Remo mesh head designed to be easy to play with and quiet. The new drum pads use real birch drum shells and share the naturally elegant look of their acoustic counterparts as Yamaha offers the same exquisite Black Forest and Real Wood finishes used for its acoustic drums. The lugs and hoops are also taken from high-end acoustic drums, sporting an appropriately high-quality finish.

The flagship set DTX10 features the KP128 – a particularly refined Kick Pad with a 12-inch mesh head and multi-layer cushion head surface. The third tom pad is a 12-inch floor tom. The cymbals consist of 13-inch and 15-inch crashes. The new PCY175 3-zone ride cymbal pad measures 17 inches, the largest cymbal pad Yamaha has ever made, and close to an actual ride cymbal size. All DTX10 series cymbal pads feature three zones – edge, bow and bell – that can be triggered and stopped, just like choking a real cymbal.

The DTXPROX Module

The DTXPROX Drum Trigger Modules offer outstanding sonic quality and brand-new samples that were recorded in world-renowned studios with the highest precision in dynamics and resolution. Great importance was attached to reproducing the crucial attack and decay behaviour of individual drums and cymbals, and to add extra realism, the sound of the studio rooms themselves was captured and can be added back to the drum kit. In addition, the recorded sounds can be fine-tuned with numerous effects that are also used in professional studios and the MONTAGE music synthesizer by Yamaha. The DTXPROX module contains more than 700 sounds, and allows you to import up to 1,000 24-bit custom samples. This way, a multitude of unique sounds can be created, creatively combined and percussively realised.

The DTXPROX module gives players the ability to configure different kits according to individual needs. The kit sounds are all fully editable. Edited sounds can be exported by stereo outputs, USB, and special to the DTX-PROX module, individual outputs – perfect for live and studio use. Unique to the DTX-PROX modules is the Kit Modifier knobs. These three knobs allow users to adjust ambience, compression and other effects in real-time while playing. Rather than interrupting the creative flow, this approach and implementation aim to enrich the process and add instant and dramatic changes. The Ambience modifier adjusts the amount of recorded room ambience but can also control additional Yamaha digital reverb algorithms. The Comp modifier adds compression to the whole kit. It can either work as “sound glue” when used cautiously or give the kit a more aggressive touch when used more lavishly. The Effect modifier controls the integrated effect processor’s sends and returns. Users can simply define which pads are connected to which processor. In addition, every channel has its own EQ, channel compression and transient adjustment to control attack and decay.
