For almost five years, the
Yamaha DTXPRESS series electronic drum kits have set a standard in
performance and value for the professional and amateur drummer.
With an emphasis on improved sound, natural feel and
user-friendliness, Yamaha Drums will introduce two updated models
for Winter NAMM 2004—the DTXPRESS III and the DTXPRESS III Special
Edition.
Currently available, the DTXPRESS III features a selection of new
audio waveforms that reproduce ultra-realistic sounds, with a
strong concentration on acoustic cymbal sounds.
Upgraded soft rubber pads offer
drummers more performance comfort, better feel and natural rebound.
Physical improvements include gray
metallic support racks that will hide chips and scratches.
The DTXPRESS III ships in a single
box with the rack fully assembled and all cables coded on both ends, so
users can simply fold out the support legs and cymbal arms for a quick
and easy setup.
Like previous models in the series, the DTXPRESS III is loaded with more
than 1,000 sounds, 128 GM voices, 80 drum kits, 127 songs, an integrated
2-track sequencer, 3-zone snare pad, the Groove Check practice feature
and easy-view backlit display. The DTXPRESS III also allows players to
practice and perform in complete privacy using headphones, and will
connect directly to a PC or Mac computer via an external MIDI interface
or the integrated TO HOST connection.
Targeted to customers in the market for a higher-end option, the
DTXPRESS III Special Edition contains all the features of the DTXPRESS
III, with the addition of an ergonomic curved rack; three round
multi-zone cymbal pads (3-zone, 2-zone and mono); and a high hat
controller with the unique combination of an acoustic-type stand and
electronic pad
