Nick D. takes the Yamaha DTX10K for a test drive! Why do you love electric kits? 🥁

[@samhagman5958]

@@bluesiliconedot2190 I was introduced to the drums on a bad electric kit, and after a YEAR I finally got a real kit and it was amazing. I guess I would love a high quality one, but I didn’t like the one I had

[@MrKbeaumont]

Stage volume! Other musicians don't appreciate cymbals ringing in their ears! Also they are much easier to mix front of house.

[@collinbryant678]

For anyone deciding between this and the Roland TD27, GET THIS!! I recently acquired a TD27 and the samples on this kit blows Roland out of the water! Buyers remorse is real!!

[@jonathanharned1706]

Man those toms couldn't sound any more real imo- so sick! Straight out of the box this sounds wayyy better than any of the Roland models

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

I had the Roland VAD 503 and I hated the Roland sounds. The DTX sounds amazing out of the box.

[@darylllanier2591]

I purchased an Alesis Strike Pro SE from Sweetwater in November. Based on the sound library and the drum build alone, to me, it's the closest thing to the feel of an acoustic set.

[@Prizmatic1658]

This kit sells for about 5 thousand. Nick has an awesome job, and he does a good job of it.

[@joeoneill777]

The hex rack and hardware make this kit a great deal

[@MegaAnarcist]

Great demos! I learnt so many new fills today, literally watched this video again and again while on the kit :)

[@JeffSmith-dh5mp]

I’m L to try try

[@ngunnawalmick7029]

"Dive into the weeds' ...good one Nick!

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

They’re fantastic. A tad out of my price-range, but a pro could definitely solve problems with these.

[@wirenutz7869]

Sounds great ! But for buzz rolls , I think a real snare still has the throne . Something about the interrupted decay when the next snare hit happens . Would splitting the snare into a left and right zone help ? Maybe allow each hit to ring independently while the trigger repeatedly re-arms itself ?

[@wirenutz7869]

I know I am nitpicking . It does sound incredible .

[@mb7196]

It's a drum module issue. Companies just don't seem to be willing to sample their kits to the highest level and increase the internal storage of the kits to make it work. If you trigger software like Superior Drummer or BFD3, rolls sound just like playing on a real kit.

[@sanderblom]

I play an ancient DTX532K set with the RHH135 hi-hat, which I assume is the same as the one in this kit. The one I have only HAS three positions: open, half-open, closed (bow and rim), which I'm tired of. Is the hi-hat in this configuration also this limited? Or did things change when the modules became more advanced? If anyway knows, I'm curious to find out. Thanks!

[@spearitscottie1]

I'm having issues dialing my hat in on this kit. Haven't seen much out there that addresses this.

[@davidanderson3576]

That smile says it all!

[@mattryan6886]

This kit looks and sounds phenomenal!!!!!! I want one soooooooo bad. Unfortunately I can’t afford it currently unless a major miracle happens upon me. I’m thinking about selling my Alesis strike module to get the DTX Pro module for my “new” to me dtx560 kit I recently picked up for 500$.

[@mattryan6886]

My Yamaha module was the dtx500 unfortunately. I did sell my strike module and bought used dtx pro and I absolutely love it!!! I only thing I really missed about strike module was the direct outputs and some of strike sounds/features. The new Strata prime module looks and sounds phenomenal. I wish I had saved up and bought dtx pro X for the direct outputs. Very helpful for recording and live sound setup.

[@CornerStoreDrums]

Lets GO!! Sweetwater always top notch! Indiana love!

[@kryptoniterazor]

Great demos, though I've yet to come away impressed by the sounds of one of these kits. Odd that Yamaha focuses so much on FX and weird instruments and leaves out basic features like mic placement and blend for kick and snare. Some of the cymbals sounds are great but there still seems to be a big gap between drum brains and software kits on depth of control and sample quality.

[@fergusfurlong]

Sounds really good - for small gigs and rehearsals what amps are most commonly used?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Fergus. Thanks so much for your interest. I’m a big fan of the Roland PM Series. Either the PM-100 or PM-200. They work really well for those applications. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@VangeliRock]

This guy could probably play a set of garbage tins and it would sound amazing.

[@fl00d69]

Phenomenal! Better than anything I've heard out of Roland.

[@steevodrums4749]

Question...love your show at sweet water...I interested about having my next drumkit to be electronic..just wondering if it's possible to fit an extra 10" pad on the rack and an extra 12" pad on lower rack ..so ya instead of 3 tom ..do 5 tom ...will they fit on the rack or are 2 snare stands recommended. Thank you

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Steevodrums4749. Thanks for your interest. Yes there is. I’ve seen it in the wild a few times with a 7 piece setup (Drums). I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@atakdragonfly1675]

Wondering how this thing works in stereo with headphones, or actually, connected to a proper stereo system or amplifiers. I wonder how, or if, the rooms pan... Or like if the cymbals on the right come through the right, and vice versa etc.. I'm listening through a huge hi fi system now, and it's kinda hard to tell.

[@mb7196]

Generally you can set the perspective to "drummer" or "audience". Not sure about this module but I'm almost positive all those options are fully configurable. There's not much you can't do with ekits these days.

[@Isaacvorobyov]

I'm not sure what to get this or the roland td50kv2 what do you guys think?

[@scorchwhammin]

Get the Yamaha …better kit IMO

[@davidmcaninch4714]

The funk track was great, but I coulda used a little more cowbell!!!

[@DadBodDrumming]

It has amazing full bodied sounds. I would totally use this to gig with. But at $5k I would be scared to touch it.

[@vananon51]

I actually like the sounds of this module better than the Roland TD-17 and Td-27. But I would import my own sounds anyway...

[@Ashlord]

I prefer the DTX Pro name lol. Thanks Nick!

[@tronlady1]

Is there ANY way I could use those awesome efnote stands with the DTX10 or the Strike Pro instead of a big, weighty, ugly rack?

[@groovemaster1978]

of course! you can attach the tomarms to any cymbal stand with a multiclamp

[@Sadoso]

Nice Video.. great work

[@photographerjonathan]

I don't know why when demoing a kit people play the electronic sounding kits. no one buys an electronic drum set because it has sounds that sound like an arcade game. people want a kit with sounds that sound like a real top of the line acoustic drum set, right out of the box. without having to buy Superior drummer to get it. and in this demo there wasn't any kit that got me exited. but I'm sure if you took some time you could dial in some nice sounds. but any time you are taking to get a kit to sound good, is time away from actually playing the kit. or creating. how do you think this kit compares to the top of the line Roland sets ? with the digital snare, hi hat and ride. and 50 X module. like the TD50KV which is similarly priced to this Yamaha kit.

[@nickbeaty1234]

Respectfully disagree. I love being able to use the electric sounds. Especially if you’re into playing rnb and hip hop.

[@jaegervand2112]

Yeah it´s expensive... But it has amazing hardware and, unlike Roland, sounds good enough to ditch ez or superior drummer for live use.

[@mb7196]

still sound pretty machine gun and artificial to me. Same as the Roland.

[@groovemaster1978]

@Jaegervand; I disagree with the last statement, I have one and are now using it with ezdrummer3; this way it sounds much more natural... no more machinegunning.. and I use an audiointerface with 8 outputs so still able to use it live.

[@elecdrum6700]

Any tap tempo option?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, elecdrum. Thanks for your interest. Yup. It does have tap tempo. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@mau_orr]

I will never forget the name of this module haha DTX PRO X***

[@ricklang_drummer]

I don't agree that "it all comes down to how it sounds". Been playing Yamaha DTX900 for over a decade and love the TCS, but module sounds have always been irrelevant to me since e-drummer's (myself included) trigger drum libraries such as SD3, BFD3, AD, SSD, GGD, NI etc for recording. It all comes down to how it "feels" and how it triggers however.

[@STUDIO-cover-tunanetra]

Good good

[@ryanhenak]

Little bit of the Rosanne shuffle.

[@GuitarGodgt]

To be totally honest, no I do not think that sounds good. For the price of these things you would think they could at least muster a couple of kits that sound excellent.

[@Ilitan004]

Thinks the same, cymbals are pretty nice but toms and snare does not sound natural

[@EvilSewnit]

@@Ilitan004 sound plenty natural to me

[@kevinwhite6176]

both the DTX-Pro (I have one) and the ProX (in this review) machine-gun, which is probably the most unnatural part. Maybe Yamaha just doesn't want to pay for the gigabytes (?) of sample memory needed to have like 4+ variations of every hit plus ambience like you get in stuff like SD3. I'm not a good enough player yet o really notice the machinegun problem when I actually play so it's fine for me

[@Durwood71]

I have no interest in this drum kit as I'm perfectly happy with my Roland TD-17. I just like watching Nick D'Virgilio demo drum kits.

[@sabadrum]

I got rid of mine. Way too tired of having to hit a button in the brain to play a crosstick, and I found it so confusing with how you had to assign sounds to rims and the heads.

[@groovemaster1978]

@@sabadrum I agree with the cross stick issue. I use a Roland bt-1 bar trigger now as a rim click trigger.

[@Durwood71]

I'm just a barely proficient bedroom drummer, so I'm not picky. Do need to repair or replace a couple of my Roland cymbals, though, which no longer correctly trigger.

[@scottscrufari]

Has a very muffled sound

[@pighater951]

Buy just the drum sound machine????🤔

[@Drumguybri]

Sounds worse than a Roland, which ain't sayin' much. It's 2022, one would think e drum manufacturers would have made more head way on making their drums sound less fake and shot gun sounding, but sadly, nope.

[@zeppelin1n4]

My atv is 1/4 of the price of this kit and sounds 10x better

[@01derendorf]

Still no contest compared to software e.g. EZ Drummer3 let lone SD3 Nice try but again failed imo

[@yourbuddykevin]

I dont understand why they can’t load high quality sounds in these drums. they sound soo bad.

[@pighater951]

Way over priced like why 🙄🤔🤣🤣😂I'm sure they don't sell like that regardless

[@tbip2001]

Yet another terrible sounding e kit. There really is no excuse for it sounding like this.

[@timjoseph887]

Wow I have a DTX Pro and I’m embarrassed. This sounds just awful

[@galgogergo]

But does it sound better at your place...? Like, could you dial in the module to sound much better than this?

[@Romans219]

No thanks on electric drums. I have always been an acoustic drums and B20 alloy cymbals guy and always will

[@Ilitan004]

sometimes you don't have a choice, that's why electronic drums exists

[@brianjezuit4085]

@@Ilitan004 Thank you!!! I couldn't have an acoustic kit because of neighbors and lack of space. I bought an Alesis Kit and absolutely LOOOVE it 😊 I thank God for electronic drum sets!😆☕🥁🥁🥁🎼

[@Durwood71]

Electronic drums are not intended to replace acoustic drums, just as acoustic drums are not intended to replace electronic drums. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

[@neltom50]

I have a professional DW collector series 6 pc set, with May internal mic systems, with sennheiser mics, Zildjian A custom cymbals absolute top of the line. They don’t come out of the closet. I play and record exclusively with electronic drums. Their is just no situations that my electric drums can’t handle. When I play them live it’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven. I play DTX950k live and TD-50 in the studio
