It is good 👍 with dtx sounds. I am enjoying after purchase. Able to install new tunes and have ability to play with hands, fingers and sticks. Portability is good and need explore little on how to operate and make different settings. After that it is easy to use. Coming volume control if I connect input audio and output headset and speakers volume control sometimes would be difficult to adjust properly with input audio and output drum sounds. Overall it is very good one 👍

We use this for cinematic orchestration and not for live shows. We rely exclusively on its MIDI triggering capabilities into Pro Tools using a multitude of sound libraries. Our systems are snap fast with max RAM and SSD drives. No lag to be concerned about. Please keep this in mind when reading this review.The DTX works well overall from a technical point of view. However, sticking becomes an arduous task quickly. Fast sticking is all but impossible. The pad feel is inconsistent across pads and have poor dynamics at best. The touch feature is somewhat better. That said, fast passages tend to experience skipped beats as if it has trouble keeping up. 32nd notes and faster are literally hit and miss unless you’re willing to beat the hell out of the thing - which we are not willing to do.I think this box is basically good, with the huge exception of the physical interface. It’s not metal but plastic which may not be that bad, but at this price I would have expected metal. A silicon head would be brilliant here also, but it’s not to be sadly - just punchy rubber with poor dynamics. Bummer. You can hit each pad when turned off with a different sound And feel from each. You can somewhat overcome this with heavier sticks. 2b with nylon tips tend to have fewer errors than 5b’s. Butt hits do well on both. Forget 7b’s and lighter.This may be good for stage use, but I cannot speak to that. While I wanted to love this, I’m not sure I can recommend it for other uses enthusiastically.

I did alot of research before i grabbed this. Its great. Layout is natural for me feels good. Yeah a begginer can pick this up and cycle through the 50 presets but in order to get the full feel you gotta cycle through the voice menus and create your own kits. As i am tech savy i can navigate easily but the manual is so vague that a begginer would have paid nearly 700 for a 50 generic preset with realistically 10 usable ones. This thing once you get the hang of it is fun as hell. A plus is being able to set any kit to finger use just in case you have tots and you feel lile midnight slow jammin in the pale moon light. Lol

I am very impressed with the quality and variety (there's 120 snare drums!, timpani...) of the sounds. The ability to layer and modify sounds is very useful. The way I programmed mine, I am using it as a set without pedals. I programmed some of the pads (HH, Ride) to add a bass drum when I hit them harder, so I can play bass drum and HH/cymbal with one stick. The manual is not that great, but there are enough Youtube videos out there to get you started. I had a technical support question and they replied within 24 hours with a resolution to my issue. (FYI - to hook up your iPad follow steps 3-5 only on page 13 of the manual). The iPad app is great, except it keeps crashing (especially on saving---though I am able to re-open it and Save prior changes). I bought a small drum amp for the DTX and was unhappy with the sound, then got the Roland PM-100 80W amp which is great for practice and playing small rooms.

This Yamaha DTX Multi Pad is one of the better musical equipment purchases I've made in a long time. I read a lot of reviews of this and similar drum pads from other manufacturers and decided to drop the money on the Yamaha. Have to say I'm thoroughly impressed. The stock sounds are decent, although it lacks many natural sounding kits but with the user presets I was able to build several kits using samples I already own, such as Gretsch kit, Ludwig kit, Taiko drums and roto toms. I use this for recording natural sounding fills over top of programmed loops to give my recordings a more organic feel. The pads are very responsive play very precise. The unit itself is very sturdy and well built. All in all, this was a wonderful addition to my home studio. If it were lost or stolen, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again !

What an incredible instrument. Intuitive to operate and wonderful sounds - and lots of them. All at a fraction of the price of the Roland sample pad. The pads have a good feel and the dynamic response is excellent. The size is great for fitting in my acoustic kit between the cymbals.

As a percussionist, I have been using one of these for years and I love it. I love how much this little thing can do. As far as electronic percussion goes, this product has some of the best rebound and sensitivity I have seen. However, it's not going to feel like the real thing and you'll need to build up your chops to perform perfect rolls on it's surfaces, but I don't think that was the main purpose of this product when it was released. It contains a plethora of internal sounds and options and it is very good as an accessory to a kit or just by itself!

This is a great drum pad. It's a little difficult to follow the convoluted UI, but after working with it for a few months and going over the manual many times, I understand the logic of why they did what they did, but ultimately it's a pretty bad and unintuitive layout. That aside, the playability is what is of primary importance to me and it shines in that area. Very flexible and controllable. I'm using the Yamaha hi-hat trigger pedal and a Roland kick drum trigger which both work flawlessly. Though don't expect to use a Roland hi-hat trigger pedal with this unit as it won't work. Connectivity with my sequencer (protools) is flawless. Good drivers and phone support is good. You can quickly get in contact with a knowledgeable product specialist which I really value.
