Description
Yamaha’s long-standing acoustic drum heritage is at the heart of the DTX452K. By sampling their own high-end acoustic kits, Yamaha delivers natural, musical drum sounds that outperform other beginner kits in this category. The module combines acoustic and electronic voices, allowing drummers to easily edit kits and create custom sounds as their musical tastes evolve.
The cymbal pads offer impressive expression thanks to Yamaha’s dynamic triggering, which allows both bow and bell sounds to be produced from single-zone cymbals depending on playing intensity. The DTX452K also features an extra cymbal pad compared to other kits in the range, providing the two-crash setup favoured by many gigging drummers. Combined with the tri-zone snare and real bass drum pedal, this kit delivers realism that will remain satisfying long after the beginner stage.
Yamaha sample their own drum kits to provide 10 great sounding kits in one module. With a combination of acoustic and electronic sounds, this kit is highly flexible. Quickly and easily edit kits and make your own custom kits with a huge range of sounds to choose from.
Like most entry level kits, Yamaha 402 Series electronic drum kits feature single zone cymbal pads which normally means you can only get one type of sound from them, but with some clever engineering Yamaha have included a bell sound that triggers when you hit the cymbal harder meaning you can still change between the bow and bell sound on your cymbals. They have a great feel and response for a realistic playing experience and are even choke-able. The 482 features an extra cymbal pad compared to the other kits in this range, giving you the two crash setup most gigging drummers use.
Unlike its little brothers the 432k and the 402K, the 452K features a tri-zone snare pad which means you can play on the rim and even generate realistic sounding rim shots. A feature that is more important to experienced players than beginners and is rarely seen on kits at this price, this means this kit will be suitable for years of playing with no need to upgrade as your skills improve.
The DTX452K drum kit comes with a highly regarded Yamaha bass drum pedal, providing reliability and realism straight out of the box.
