The Yamaha DTX530K provides cymbals with cup, bow and edge voices that are choke-able for more expression. The realistic sounds of the Yamaha DTX500 module let you sound your best, and with the advanced practice tools and easy song recorder you will be getting better all the time.

For Quiet Practice that Improves Technique!

The Yamaha DTX530K features traditional electronic rubber practice pads that have a nice stick rebound without being too bouncy. The module is compatible with the DTX-PADs so upgrading the kit is very easy.

Legendary Yamaha Sound Quality for All Your Drum Kits!

The Yamaha DTX500 drum trigger module features Yamaha's high-quality tone generator with realistic acoustic drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds. You get the sounds of hi-end oak, maple, beech and birch drums, with details like velocity-switching samples (that changes sound characteristic as you play harder) so you will feel like you are listening to a live set of drums. The 50 preset kits are ready for you to perform a wide range of music styles, and you can select your favorite sounds to create custom user kits, and add digital reverb effects and master EQ to sweeten the sound. With 427 naturally sampled acoustic drum and percussion voices, the DTX500 module will bring out your best playing by providing highly realistic and powerful drum sounds.

Play Along With Musical Practice Songs!

The songs of the Yamaha DTX500 module let you play along in different styles with or without the recorded drum track, solo the bass player, or with the full ensemble to make playing fun and practicing seem more like a band rehearsal.

Practical Tools that Improve your Groove!

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 Yamaha DTX500 drum module has a collection of training functions including the popular Groove Check. Groove Check 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 rhythm. Practice has never been this much fun!

3-Zone Cymbals with Choke Feature Deliver Realistic Expression!

The cymbals of the Yamaha DTX530K feature the advanced 3-zone cymbal pads which can express a different sound in each of the cup, bow and edge zones.

Expressive Hi-Hat System for Advanced Performance!

The Yamaha DTX530K features a hi-hat system that uses a remote hi-hat pedal controller (included with the kit) and trigger pad to provide realistic hi-hat expression. The pedal and pad can be located anywhere around the kit, much like the popular remote cable hi-hat systems for acoustic drums. Moreover, the hi-hat can express various styles of play such as open/close position, closed pedal and foot splash. You can even play tip and edge voices for adding subtle nuances to the beat!

Aux Input Connection to Play Along With Your Favorite Tunes!

The Yamaha DTX500 module includes an audio input for connecting an external music player to the module so you can play along with your favorite music, either though the main output or in your headphones, so you can quickly master the piece you want to learn note for note.

Programmable Click Tracks with the Hi-Performance Metronome!

The Yamaha DTX500 module is equipped with a high-performance, programmable metronome made for drummers that allows complicated rhythms and tones to be set.

Impressive Expandability and Upgrades - Add up to Four Pads!

The Yamaha DTX530K gives you peace of mind, too. Even after purchasing the kit, you can expand by adding up to four pads if you want more toms, cymbals or a double-bass configuration. All kinds of upgrades including support for the DTX-PADs are possible.

MIDI Connection Offers More Possibilities!

The Yamaha DTX500 trigger module is equipped with a MIDI output port for connecting the kit to additional devices or a computer* for music production applications. *Computer connection requires MIDI interface (ex: Yamaha UX16 USB-MIDI Interface)

RS500 Rack System Offers Compact Stability!

The Yamaha RS500 rack system comes pre-assembled for easy setup and offers solid performance in a light weight, fold-able design for easy storage.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
