Electronic Percussion Systems
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 display makes viewing information, such as tempo or modes, easy to see at a glance.

AUX IN/MIDI OUT

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.). The MIDI OUT jack allows you to transmit drum performance as MIDI data to an external device.

 

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.

 

PADS
TP100 3-zone Snare pad (Special model)

The DTXpressIV Special features a 10-inch pad, 3-zone type that can be mounted on a tom clamp. The pad’s rim is divided into two zones that let you play both open and closed rim shot sounds in addition to the head sound delivering playability that comes extremely close to acoustic drums.

The pad is the same as found in the Yamaha’s top-of-the-line DTXtreme IIs and has an easy to adjust pad controller placed providing easy control over snare adjustment and tuning. Go from ‘snare-on’ to ‘snare-off’ in a simple, quick turn.

PCY150S & PCY130S Cymbal pads (3-zone)

The 15-inch PCY150S and 13-inch PCY130SC both utilize 3-zone designs, which let you play different sounds from bell, bow and edge. They deliver a feel and accuracy that comes extremely close to an acoustic cymbal.
