DTX452K - A Great Drum Kit to Learn On

When it comes to learning to play the drums, you really need to have your own kit at home.

For many, acoustic drum kits can cause problems in the home because they're loud and take up a lot of space.

So electronic drum kits make a great alternative as they take up minimal space and you can connect your headphones for private practice.

If you're just getting into drums, you don't want to spend a lot of money but at the same time, you need to avoid the usual cheap electronic drum kits because of the lack of quality in their sound, feel and construction.

That's where the Yamaha DTX452K electronic drum kit comes in.

Available at an entry level price without compromising quality whilst also boasting a range of training features and app compatibility, the Yamaha DTX452K is a great kit to learn on.

Yamaha DTX452K Electronic Drum Kit Key Features:

• Authentic, Top Quality Drum Sounds
• 10 Built-In Drum Kits
• 10 Built-In Training Functions
• Newly Developed Drum Pads Including a Bass Drum Pad and 3-Zone Snare Pad
• Professional Bass Drum Pedal

Extremely Well Made

Despite its modest price tag, the DTX452K electronic drum kit is extremely well made.

It features newly developed drum pads that deliver a great playing feel and accurate transfer of your playing to the drum module.

The most noteworthy of these pads though is probably the 3-zone snare pad which allows you to get three distinct sounds depending on where you strike it.

The DTX452K kit also features a bass drum pad and a professional level bass drum pedal so you get a seriously authentic playing experience.

You can also adjust the height of the DTX452K so it is suitable for people of all ages and sizes. This is particularly useful for younger players as you can adjust the size of the kit as you grow.

Once you're finished playing, the whole kit folds down so it can be easily stored away.

Authentic Drum Sounds

Another great feature of the Yamaha DTX452K is the drum module. This is basically the brain of the electronic drum kit and it produces all the sounds you hear when you connect your headphones or an amp.

Yamaha have decades of experience in creating both traditional, acoustic drum kits and electronic drum kits so it's fair to say they know a thing or two about how they sound.

With the DTX452K, you get 10 different built-in kits that are perfectly suited to a number of different styles, covering acoustic drum kits and more modern electronic sounds.

Built-In Training Features

Adding to the awesome features that make the Yamaha DTX452K a great electronic drum kit for beginners is the inclusion of 10 different training functions that are built into the Yamaha DTX402 drum module.

These training features include Pad Gate function which is great for beginners, training you up gradually over time.

There's also Gate Function which helps you improve your sense of rhythm while Fast Blast Function allows you to measure your stroke speed.

In addition to the three mentioned above, there are 7 other diverse training functions so you get a complete range of support as you learn how to play the drums.

DTX402 Touch - Dedicated iOS/Android App

Probably one of the most fun aspects of owning the DTX452K electronic drum kit is dedicated DTX402 Touch app.

Available for free on both iOS and Android, DTX402 Touch has some great features that help you improve your drumming skills while having fun doing it.

For example, the Challenge Mode is much like a video game. It allows you to play along with built-in training tracks and gives you a score for accuracy. Furthermore; once you beat the final stage you'll even receive a drummer's certificate from Yamaha!

Other great features of the DTX402 Touch app include the Editor function which allows you to customise your drum kits for your own signature sound.

Just download the app on your device and connect it to the DTX452K via USB and get started.

You'll also find that the DTX452K is compatible with the Rec'n'Share iOS app which allows you to record yourself performing along with your favourite music and share it with your friends and band mates or post it onto your social network profile.

PC Connectivity

Giving you almost limitless potential, the DTX452K can connect to your computer via USB.

Using this, you can link the drum kit to your favourite DAW to record your drumming onto musical projects and trigger different sounds.

Not Just for Beginners

While it is an ideal kit for learning to play drums on, the DTX452K offers enough features and such a high level of quality that even intermediate and more advanced drummers will find a lot to love about this fabulously priced electronic drum kit.
