Yamaha DTXTREME Electronic Percussion System

Combining advanced digital technology and acoustic drum manufacturing, the Yamaha DTXTREME has been designed for the professional drummer who requires cutting-edge electronics and versatility. The 6-piece DSXT11 offers an incredible array of sounds, plus the natural feel of acoustic heads. Innovations include real head pads, wood shells, and real drumheads that provide a natural "acoustic kit" feel and appearance, yet are sensitive to the nuances of an individual drummer's playing style. Constructed of durable 7-ply Birch/Mahogany, the 3-in.-deep shells incorporate the same YESS mounting system and "Absolute-style" lugs found on Yamaha's pro acoustic kits. The set also includes 2 CH-style cymbal holders, a sturdy, lightweight aluminum rack and Yamaha's exclusive ball and clamp mounts for maximum adjustability.

The electronics of the DTXTREME are unprecedented. In addition to offering 928 percussion voices/effects and 128 keyboard voices, the unit features 90 preset drum kits, 40 user kits, 95 preset plus 32 user memory locations. Another noteworthy feature is Yamaha's unique "Groove Check," which helps hone in on the perfect groove. Users may stack up to 6-or alternate up to 9-voices per input. "Pad Song" allows up to 4songs to be started or stopped simultaneously. "Virtual snare drums" may even be created by selecting shell materials, depth and tension. Up to 4 MB of voices, kits or songs may be stored and retrieved via SmartMedia. The DTXTREME's large back-lit LCD display provides easy viewing of multiple parameters. Five rotary encoders and 10 volume faders provide effortless control. Connections include 16 trigger inputs (8 dual trigger, 8 individual trigger), 6 individual and 2 stereo outputs, an Aux In jack for external audio sources and a phones jack with sound localizer and processing. In addition to MIDI In/Out/Thru, the DTXTREME can connect directly to a computer via the To Host port.
