YAMAHA DXPIV Details

New Version 2

Yamaha’s unrivalled tradition with both acoustic and electronic drums continues with the DTXPRESS IV V2 that marries highly responsive pads with newly-sampled kits from some of Yamaha’s classic acoustic models such as the Oak Custom and Recording Custom.

Even on the Standard model you get full-size cymbals, plus new learning tools in the 427 drum and percussion sound-housing brain. The new V2 cymbal pads have changed to PCY135 3-zone pads. The DTXPRESS IV Special goes on to offer an extra cymbal and separate hi-hat with stand With the new V2 the cymbal pads are (2) PCY135 cymbal pads, (1) PCY155 3-zone pad, hi hat is now the RHH-135. These are the same cymbals as the DXTIII Special kit has.

The DTXPRESSIV comes with 50 preset kits and 20 locations for storing custom creations. And there's not only drum samples on tap but also percussion and bags of special effects.
Whether you’re in the studio, on the road, or work mainly from home - where you can patch in your CD or MP3 player, or make use of the excellent teaching and practice aids like programmable metronome, Rhythm Gate, 44 full-length songs, and built-in sequencer - the DTXPRESS IV offers a sonic experience and feel way beyond its price tag.

When Yamaha constructs an electronic drum set we embrace technology from our digital musical instrument divisions and combine it with know-how from our esteemed acoustic drum makers. Unbelievably, Yamaha is the only acoustic drum company that makes electronic drums, providing a unique understanding of today's drummer's needs.

As part of the extensive design process, we call upon our roster of top drum artists to help shape, tweak and fine-tune the instrument. The result is a set with a brain incorporating sheer electronic wizadry and a soul that embodies living and breathing artist input worldwide. If you're serious about your music... its time you get acquainted with e-drums made by Acoustic and Digital innovators.
