NEW Pad Configuration

The most exciting and notable additions to the upgrade of the DTX452K is that this DTX482K features an XP80 Snare Pad and a 3rd cymbal pad and rack attachment.

The superb Yamaha XP80 snare pad utilises Yamaha’s ground-breaking texture coated cellular silicone playing surface to provide a natural feel and response similar to an acoustic snare drum.

As drummers know, a snare drum does not simply offer one sound. You can use the snare drum in a range of ways, hitting it in different places to achieve different sounds.

The XP80 is no different. Thanks to its 3-zone technology the Yamaha XP80 snare pad allows drummers to play headshots, rimshots and cross stick sounds with perfect recognition.

Whether you want a robust response from the snare head for some heavy metal, or you need a mellow cross stick sound for a laid-back ballad, the Yamaha XP80 lets you achieve it.

Providing a soft, comfortable and very realistic playing response, the pads of the Yamaha DTX482K enable you to develop strong technique for improved playing.

In addition to the new XP80 snare, this Yamaha DTX drum kit also features a 3rd cymbal pad and rack attachment, allowing you to expand your playing possibilities.

An ideal way to push your creativity is to utilise new sounds within your drum kit set up. Having the option to add an extra sound via a cymbal pad is a great way to push your playing to find new ways to express yourself.

Optimised for Quietness

Consisting of an XP80 snare pad, three tom pads, four cymbal pads, hi-hat controller, kick drum pad and kick drum pedal, this drum kit has everything you need for a full, expressive drum kit setup.

All the pads on the new Yamaha DTX482K electronic drum kit have been optimised to be extremely quiet while retaining a natural feel to reduce strain and stress on the drummer’s hands and arms.

One of the main things that stops people from starting to learn the drums is the noise level. Similarly, it can prevent accomplished drummers from practicing as often as they’d like to.

Having an electronic drum kit opens up a whole new world of complaint free practice opportunities.

 By using headphones in conjunction with the super quiet pads of the DTX482K kit you can practice as much as you like with out disturbing those around you.

No more complaints from your family, house mates or neighbours. Progress your drumming with quiet, uninterrupted practice with the Yamaha DTX482K.

DTX402 Sound Module

The Yamaha DTX482K comes complete with the DTX402 Sound Module.

Jam packed with a massive library of sounds, the DTX 402 module features a huge 287 high-quality drum and percussion sounds.

There’s a sound for every occasion with this drum kit.

In addition to the 287 kit sounds, the DTX402 module also includes 128 keyboard voices, allowing you to incorporate melodic aspects into your drumming for truly musical expression.

The module also includes 10 memory slots allowing you to custom build your own drum kits from the wide plethora of different in-built sounds.

Have fun experimenting with the vast array of different tones. Push your creativity with different sounds and find the exact vibe you need for the tracks you’re playing to.

Built-In Effects

In addition to the huge range of sounds you get with the DTX420 module, Yamaha have also included built-in effects.

The internal reverb processor features 9 types of different reverb allowing you to add some ambience to your playing for a realistic drum sound.

Want to sound like you’re playing in a stadium? There’s a reverb for that. What to sound like you’re in a dampened studio? The DTX420 module can provide a reverb to set the exact tone you need to help you to sound and perform the way you want.

Great for use when in a live performance situation, you can match the reverb setting to suit the space that you’re playing in to provide a realistic kit sound no matter what the venue.

Training Features

As with most musicians, drummers are always striving to improve their playing in order to become better drummers.

The Yamaha DTX 482K helps you to progress and stay motivated thanks to it’s range of in-built training features.

The clearly labelled, easy to use module features a range of musical styles including pop, rock and jazz, allowing you to play along to backing tracks.

Rather than sitting alone practicing your chops you can try out that new fill or groove or improve your timing by playing along to inspirational backing tracks for a fun practice session.

Having an accompaniment to groove along to is much more rewarding that playing alone. The DTX482K allows you to do just that without the need for band mates.

With songs, training features and learning modes, the DTX 482K has a range of functions to help drummers to progress from beginners through to advanced players.

Whether you’re a new drummer looking to learn the basics or you’re an advance player that wants some motivation to keep up with your practice, the DTX482K provides the assistance you need.
