Set configuration:
The Yamaha DTX482K electronic drum kit is the top model in the DTX402 series and offers the largest and highest-quality scope of equipment within the series. It includes a snare pad with a silicone playing surface and three trigger zones as well as three cymbal pads. The core of the compact and transport-friendly kit is the DTX402 drum module with 287 sounds, 10 rewritable preset drum kits, and numerous coaching programmes, making the DTX482K the ideal practice companion.
Equipped with three tom pads with rubber playing surfaces, three cymbal pads, a hi-hat pad with controller, a kick pad with pedal, and the XP80 Silicone three-zone snare pad, the DTX482K offers a range of different sound options despite its compact size. The clearly structured module comes with backlit keys and a USB port for connecting to a computer. The roughly 300 sounds range from acoustic and electronic drum sounds to authentic-sounding percussion instruments and effects.
Thanks to its clear structure, the DTX482K electronic drum kit is easy to use and is therefore recommended as a great-sounding, reliable practice set for beginners. The ten coaching programmes, which teach timing and dynamics, ensure that practising remains enjoyable – which is particularly important for young drum students. All components are easily within reach for both children and adults, and the additional crash cymbal on the right-hand side increases playing comfort while expanding the palette of available sounds.
For decades, Yamaha has been one of the world’s best-known manufacturers of musical instruments and audio technology. The Japanese company’s long history began at the end of the 19th century with the harmonium. The product range has constantly expanded since then, which has made Yamaha one of the few manufacturers today to offer almost the entire range of existing musical instruments: From upright and grand pianos to guitars, wind instruments, and bowed string instruments and from drums and percussion to electronic keyboards and synthesizers. Yamaha is also a major force in the field of audio engineering as a manufacturer of mixing consoles, amplifiers, PA systems, and more. Yamaha's guiding principle is to combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology.
Practising should above all be fun, and the DTX482K’s training programmes will certainly make sure of that: Who can stay closest to the beat when the click track briefly stops? Who can keep time most precisely, and who can play the greatest number of strokes within a set period of time? The DTX482K offers all of these options and more, offering a sense of achievement during the all-important beginner phase. An even broader range of options can be found in the free DTX402 Touch app, available for iOS and Android.
