Yamaha have teamed up with the world’s top drummers to satisfy their demanding sense of perfection. This next generation drum pad allows for true development of acoustic drumming techniques.

DTX700 Kit comes loaded with inbuilt songs that let you play along with or without the pre-recorded drum track, with just the bass player, or with the full ensemble to make playing and practicing seem more like a real band rehearsal. You can add up to 64MB of new sounds to the DTX700K by importing wave samples directly into the module via the USB device port. Up to four different sounds can be layered on any single pad. The stack function allows those sounds to be reproduced simultaneously, and the alternate function allows the four sounds to activate in sequence.Yamaha’s popular groove tools have set the standard for educational functions that are not only easy and fun to use, but actually help you become a better drummer. The DTX700K has a collection of training functions including the popular Groove Check that displays whether you are playing early or late, so you can more easily correct undesirable habits. Rhythm Gate is like a drumming game that automatically mutes the sound if you playing is too far out of time, so you quickly learn to control your groove and play “in the pocket”. Practice has never been this much fun.
DTX700K also features Yamaha's professional 3-zone cymbal pads, which can express a different sound in each of the cup, bow and edge zones. The DTX700 Kit gives you peace of mind letting you expand by adding up to three additional pads if you need to have more toms, cymbals or a double-bass configuration. Moreover, all kinds of upgrades, such as an enlarged size for the snare’s DTX-PAD, are possible.
The rack system for Yamaha DTX700K offers solid performance and positioning for your kit and has features of our drum hardware including a genuine Yamaha hi-hat stand that lets you freely position the hi-hat as you would on an acoustic kit. The RS500 rack uses offset tilters on the two cymbal stands and the adjustable ball clamp on the snare for greater positioning options in a compact setup.
