The DTX-PRO features real sounds and real sampled room ambience recorded in world-renowned studios, and KIT MODIFIER knobs that inspire creativity and hardware that is sturdy and easy to use. This new standard DTX captures the very essence of the flagship model.

- Superbly playable:
Reproducing the way a drum behaves when struck is a key factor in the playability of electronic drums.

Yamaha has undertaken an exhaustive investigation of how drums respond when hit, leveraging this information to achieve a truly faithful representation of instrument behavior. Moreover, professional drummers from around the world have evaluated the performance of the DTX-PRO, further allowing Yamaha to improve its expressive capabilities. Yamaha's expertise as a manufacturer of music hardware has allowed them to offer combinations of expertly-crafted modules and pads that deliver superb playability.

- Same tone generator as the flagship series:
The DTX8 Series features the DTX-PRO sound module, which has the exact same sound engine found in the flagship DTX-PROX module. Each module is capable of stunning sound quality. Choosing the correct trigger setting* to suit the pads being used will allow you to fully enjoy the sounds. The configuration screen… read more is displayed upon initial startup.

- Reliable Yamaha hardware:
The DTX8 Series uses Yamaha drum hardware that is highly trusted by professional drummers all over the world.

Easy-to-adjust ball clamps have been adopted for the toms, while the unique boom-retractable tilter design of the cymbal holders allows them to be used straight or as booms. Snare and hi-hat stands are also included and support the player with typical Yamaha robustness, playability, and stability.

- Professional-grade headphone amp:
Yamaha understands it is incredibly important that drummers are able to hear themselves clearly, so the DTX-PROX module comes equipped with a high-precision, low-distortion, low noise and high-power headphone amplifier. This circuitry delivers high-fidelity sound directly to the player, and it envelops the player in a realistic drumming sound stage.
