Yamaha DTX8K-M electronic drumkit unboxing & playing by drum-tec

[@Rock_Reggae_Riff]

I enjoy these kit reviews. No talking, just straight up playing to showcase what they can do.

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you, great to hear! :)

[@sambrantdrums9622]

I am so suprised by how much better this sounded than what I was expecting! Very impressive from Yamaha.

[@dragonheart2403]

You shouldn’t be shocked have you heard yamahas acoustic kits they recorded most of these with their recording customs and tour customs which are DOPE

[@482jpsquared]

@@dragonheart2403 Completely different development programs - acoustic and electronic. Any electronic drum developer can find great drums to sample. That's not the hard part.

It does sound great!

[@JASSONIDRUMWORKS]

I've been using that module for over a year now. The stock sounds in the module are really good. A lot of editing options also.

[@robertlucas9867]

The fact the color matches a acoustic kit makes this extra appealing. You can buy the acoustic bass and put a trigger on it to make the kit look bigger. I think a Yamaha was smart to do this.

[@val_de_mez]

Exactly. And the sound as well

[@peteluna4968]

Bingo!!!

The matching RC RW kick is expensive though…

[@vladimirackermann6182]

Damn that Black Vinyl kit sounds heavy! Best sound I´ve heard from all e-drums yet!

[@ianmclean5541]

The sounds are super authentic and easily tailored to your individual taste. I’ve listened to a crazy amount of electronic drum videos lately. Yamaha gets my vote all around. They just need to offer more acoustic looking kit options to take the lead.

Fantastic sound. Better than any Roland module, even TD50X.

@@banburydrumtuition8651 I get where you coming from and definitely makes sense for some people.

[@AerisVelivolus]

Hi! I've heard that there is a noticeable difference of volume between the two beaters when hitting the kick pad and that is kind of an issue. What's your opinion about it?

I like the hollywood kit. That sold it for me

[@pauldrumstimelessmusic1069]

Nice demo Ralf. You always bring the best out in any kit. Glad Yamaha went back to its year 2000 look for this kit. Long overdue. The original Yamaha Dtxtreme 1 kit was the best looking Yamaha electric kit until this new one has come along. Sounds from the new module are very good and useable live or in a studio.

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you very much Paul!

[@blakeparker1839]

Wow, Yamaha did really well with this module. Very solid sounding kits. If they step up their game with the pad sizes and they would be good to go imo

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you very much! :)

[@daveseemerollin6357]

I tried the dtx8-x out today, it feels amazing to play and the sounds are much better in person (So are Roland's to be honest) Pro's: - TSC pads were a joy to play! - Sounds (machine gunning isn't obvious when playing compared to video) - Triggering was fantastic accross the pads and cymbals - Positional sensing on snare and ride - Kick tower feels very satisfying - Feels very well built - 3 zone cymbals were nice Cons: - Same price as Dtx10-m in UK - Module latency is a bit higher than Roland which isn’t an issue unless you decide to use a VST, it's not perceivable unlike Alesis Strike but it's there. - No digital pads, I miss my digital snare crosstick and nuance. Overall, it is a fantastic kit. The mesh version was a bit bouncy for my liking but it's significantly cheaper, perhaps Drum-Tec Real Feel heads would be sufficient. It is a serious contender for my next kit along with Td27kv2, and Efnote 3x. Overall score? 8/10 Kits I've owned: Alesis Strike: 5/10 Td9: 5/10 TD50KV: 10/10 Reference point Kits I've played: Td17kvx: 6.5/10 Td25kv: 7/10 Dtx10-m: 8/10 (mesh version)

[@scottlane6353]

Wow. These sound great, great sizes, seems like great sensitivity on the HH . . . . 3 zone cymbals . . . . . HUGE sound . . . . and Basically same price as Roland TD-27 . . . . . but soooo much punchier and better looking. I was looking at the TD-17kvx first, then got seduced by the 27kv . . . . and then this thing drops, right about the same price as the TD-27 . . . . Now what am I gonna do . . . .

[@izzfoshizz9982]

Sounds like you're being seduced by the same sets as I am. I'd love to know what you end up going with.

Amazing Sounding Build and the LIve kits are Nice too!!!Finally they think to put at the module all these kits that any user finds in a software like EZdrummer Or Addictive Drums and not sell an e-drums like the only midi pads with poor sound.Why are they didn't do it earlier??

[@journeyseb]

This is some serious competition to the TD-27KV. If I had to choose, I’m not sure what I would do. Sounds and pad looks seems to be on the side of Yamaha but the response of the digital ride and snare plus the size of the pads are on the Roland side. Not easy…

[@AerisVelivolus]

Exactly: I'm in the same situation

@drumtecTV - I've heard some people say that the Kick Pad doesn't work so well with double pedals (the left and right beaters can have different velocities while played equally) - are you able to confirm or deny this at all? Thanks! Otherwise, this kit looks and sounds fantastic - plus Yamaha stuff always has really good build quality. The module has loads of useful features too.

[@AerisVelivolus]

I have the same question!

[@Drummerboy185]

works fine !

[@youtubedeletedmyaccountlma2263]

I mean you can just adjust the pedals...

[@philippevuillerme94]

It's true that KP90 Kick Pad is rather soft and double pedals system is hard to adjust in order to get a better reaction on both beaters... any help ?

is the snare pad 3 zones? how can you get rim shot and cross stick both at the same time? Great drumming by the way

Yeah most Yamaha snares are 3 zoned. Only the lower end rubber ones aren't. EDIT: Seems like I'm wrong. How weird, seems like a downgrade to not make these 3 zoned.

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you John :) That's a tough question, as these two kits are VERY different from each other. The pads / playing feel as well as sounds / module features are "two pair of shoes" so to say, I liked both kits actually. The best would be to play / test both side by side & decide for yourself, which fits your individual preference & needs better I guess. Both play/trigger nicely, but feel & sound very different from each other. Kind regards!

[@cosmicprison9819]

I noticed you hit the button on the module before playing the cross-stick sound. If you don’t push that button, is the default rim sound a rim shot? I’ve heard this model struggles distinguishing between rim click and shot. Then again, so does my current Roland TD-9 (I had to mess with the sensitivity and the threshold where the rim click MIDI note changes to the rim shot MIDI note).

[@superblindeye1]

Hey, how do you record these drums? Also, I noticed that the DTX 8 only has a dual snare not a three zone one like the DTX6. Do you think a threesome snare is a deal breaker for a kit?

[@drumtecTV]

Hi, I recorded straight from the stereo output of the module without any further mixing/editing. I think there are two versions of the Yamaha kits, one with mesh head snare (like in the video) and one with the TCS snare: www.drum-tec.com/yamaha-dtx8k-x-tcs-head-set-real-wood-incl.-live-sound-edition Haven't had a chance to play the TCS snare yet unfortunately. Kind regards!

[@memyselfandlewii8781]

Looks great sounds great IMPOSSIBLY COMPLICATED to program. After hours of trying, watching videos, and reading the manual all I can do is get a rim sound to change by accident. About to do a second factory reset. I regret buying this thing that's for sure. Why nobody mentions this is a mystery to me!

[@drumtecTV]

Hi, sorry to hear that! I think one of the first things to do with the module is to set up the kind of kit you are using with it, then the trigger settings should be working fine for your pad setup? Kind regards!

[@memyselfandlewii8781]

Let me start by saying I am a BIG Yamaha supporter, across the spectrum. This kit is probably the best sounding kit Yamaha has produced. With that being said...the sound it produces is nowhere near the accuracy or fullness of Roland. Not in the same neighborhood. Not in the same town. Congrats to Yamaha for stepping up their E-drum game.

Great drumming! Not sure if ATV AD5 or this module sounds better. This bop groove kit is love at first sight. Anyway, Ralf, on which edrumset do you enjoy playing the most (Roland VAD, ATV, Yamaha, etc)? Thanks!

[@drumtecTV]

Thank you very much! I mostly use a setup like this for studio work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGnMlJyFbKqBmaM That's a drum-tec pro series kit (which has the most authentic playing feel I have yet experienced, especially the Real Feel bass drums are outstanding), hooked up to a Roland module/Roland cymbals triggering external libraries like Toontrack SD, SSD5 etc. For live, I also wouldn't hesitate to use a similar kit setup with the Pearl Mimic Pro module: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWLNl2avqLejZq8 At my slightly smaller home studio, I am using a slightly smaller drum-tec diablolo ltd. kit :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIi1p6Wdf7t5idE Again, in combination with a Roland sound module/cymbals & external sample library sounds.

Thank you very much René! Yes you can play the bd pad with a double pedal, but you might get a custom kit configuration from drum-tec with a more stable bass drum pad with more realistic rebound.

hi, i am undecided between this, the roland vad306 or the efnote 3x, any advice? thank you very much

[@drumtecTV]

All three kits are nice, yet very different. Best would be to test all of them side by side at a musicstore that has them all available (might be tough though, especially EFNOTE I guess). It also depends on what features/sounds you'll need in the first place / what kind of musical styles you'll mainly be playing. EFNOTE module has just a bunch of kits, that all sound very natural/unprocessed and kind of vintage/oldschoolish. They're nice for jazz/funk/blues/vintage pop rock). Yamaha has a lot more processed and also FX sounds, the Roland TD-17 might be the most flexible with a lot of drum/percussion & FX sounds. (You'll find comprehensive sound demos of all modules/kits on our channel btw) Still, all of the kits' pad setups feel completely different physically speaking, so it's really tough to give a non-subjective advice on this. And then, there's even more options :) as you can get any compatible custom kit configuration from drum-tec (all drum-tec, Roland, ATV & EFNOTE pads are 100% compatible, only EFNOTE hihat isn't). Feel free to get in touch through [e-mail] for further assistance and/or an individual quote including international shipping anytime. Kind regards!
