Yamaha DTX6K2-X Electronic Drum Kit

Yamaha DTX6K2-X Electronic Drum Kit Overview

Yamaha DTX6 Series
The Yamaha DTX6 series electronic drum kits are mid-range Yamaha E-Drums, each with different configurations and all with plenty of features and technologies included. Yamaha has combined its renowned acoustic drum sound with the latest music technology.

The stand out feature is the DTX-PRO Drum Trigger Module, which offers ultra-realistic drum sounds. There’s a separate EQ, studio effects, Master FX and more for every channel, giving you full control over your sound.

Samples have been recorded in higher quality, with more Layers, making sure your sound is studio-quality and as realistic as possible. Load up to 1,000 of your own samples, on top of the 400+ samples already included, letting you find the perfect sound.

Get realistic, powerful, studio-quality effects right from the front panel with the Kit Modifier, so you can real-time create your drum sounds. You can also connect to your computer via USB to record directly, and connect your phone or tablet to play along with your favourite tracks and film videos while playing, then upload to the Rec’n’Share App.

The Yamaha DTX6 Series electronic drum kits are great for aspiring and professional drummers alike, music producers, MIDI musicians, teachers, and students.

The DTX6K-X is great for beginners and players on more of a budget, yet still has modern features and improvements. It includes x3 rubber tom pads, a 3-zone snare pad made from silicone TCS - which makes them one of the most accurate feeling drum pads available, and it feels great under the sticks. There’s also x1 crash and x1 ride cymbal, a hi-hat pad with controller, and a small kick pad.

The DTX6K2-X has all the features of the DTX6K-X, but instead has two larger 13” crash cymbals, 13” two-zone hi-hat pad with a proper standalone Yamaha hi-hat stand, a kick pad that’s big enough for a double pedal, and the drum module on the right-hand side, giving you more space for the hi-hat and double pedal.

The DTX6K3-X has the largest configuration of this range and all the features of the DTX6K2-X, but it has four TCS silicon pads (instead of just one) - 3 for the toms and one for the snare. These are the most accurate drumheads available, giving you a realistic feel while drumming.

Overview by Yamaha

The DTX6K2-X defines the new mid-range of the Yamaha E-Drums range, and promises professional sounds and features for players on a budget, but offering a massive technological step forward. It combines Yamaha’s world class acoustic drum history with the newest in digital drumming, sampling, and music technology.

The DTXPRO sound module offers totally new audio quality with new samples recorded in some of the best studios in Europe. The sounds can be treated with a host of studio effects, so users can tailor the sound of their kits to their exact needs. Users can also load up to 1000 of their own samples, in addition to the 400+ internal sounds.

Unique to the DTXPRO modules are the Kit Modifier Knobs which allow the user to instantly change the sound of the kit by adjusting real sampled room ambience (not just digital reverb), kit compression, and other effects in real time. Every channel also has EQ, and Transient Adjustment which is usually found in studio software and allows you to change the attack and decay of the sound to suit your needs.
