Just purchased mine and i have to admit that for 544 euros (well, given the current prices and inflation) it really is the sweetspot between very nice quality of materials, decent sounds, capabilities and cost. Tried out the roland 07dmk and alesis nitro and the yamaha one felt more robust than either of them (roland is 200 euros + kick pedal more expensive). Was also worried about the rubber parts cause everyone praises mesh heads, but to me the mesh ones (at this price range) felt too bouncy. Pad size is really ok, yeah bigger could be better but i am really ok with the 8" ones. Rack is really steady, no issues whatsoever, and the height is perfect for an average sized person (i am 180cm tall with long legs and have no issues). Kit is really responsive with very nice trigger accuracy. I am only getting used to the HH pedal , doesnt really feel as a standard Hi Hat stand feels but that s to be expected. It also works for semi-closed and not only as open or closed. Hope i have been of help :)

Dear Justin hello from Athens Greece! I bought this drum set used for about 300$ and I have to say that I’m really impressed how much a value for money this is. This is not my first electronic drum kit but it is definitely the most money worth it compare to the other ones I had. It has its cons like you mentioned in your review but compared to the pros it actually turns out a winner. Very descent sounds and a very well built drum module that when used with the app makes it a really powerful module. Not so many drum sounds but a lot of adjustments you can make and also a very useful extra app from Yamaha, called Rec’n’Share which lets you record and take video at the same time and also adjust mixing and timing. I’m very satisfied overall because it is a great practice kit that it is really worth buying it if you find it at a great used condition. I truly recommend it. And also I have to mention that despite the fact that the kit has rubber pads they have a great feel when played!! And it is also one of the most quiet kits I’ve ever played. Keep up the good work Justin!! Regards, Kostas!

It works as an audio interface. So if you want to record something - just send the sound perfectly well via USB. It excludes metronome sound, and also you can hear sound from computer or DAW. The only concern - you cannot change the volume of computer audio. Have bought the 452 month ago for 600 bucks (black friday). Happy that i got Yamaha instead of Alesis that seemed more reasonable taking price into advance. Drums are very fun things to play. Build quality is superb, as most times from Yamaha. Never thought iI would compose patterns I play clicking on any midi controller.

Great review! I purchased the 402k, basic model from Guitar Center USED for $349, the condition was LIKE NEW. Upgraded with the Yamaha Kick Tower (sold separately on Amazon for $65). This was my first electric drum set. I use a Simmons 200A amp. I think the kit sounds are good, I really only use the Maple Kit set up. The APP is really what sold me on this. The ability to customize your sounds on your phone is great. Haven’t dived into the training modes yet. When I play along with my iTunes songs the sound levels are mixed nicely by the module. I use my iPhone 8 Plus for this. Be aware you will need to buy a USB A to B cable, then you need to plug that into an Apple USB Camera to Lighting adapter! You need this for the app to work. I’m happy with it. I like the all rubber pads for sound reasons. I suggest buying Vic Firth Headphone, or a good quality pair of headphones, I played with average priced headphones and it sounded horrible! I think it looks good, basic black, minimal, doesn’t take up any space. I hung my stick bag on the Tom rack bar and put all my extra cables and adapters.

The app thing is a NIGHTMARE to get working when your phone's usb port is worn out. Of course it's not the module nor the app's fault, but they should have included bluetooth to avoid this issue.
@stevo9464 жыл бұрын
I’ve had the 452k for 3 days. The rubber pads feel satisfying. I like the module and the fact I can edit pretty much everything without the app - the manual has good information. The training stuff is neat. The kick tower is okay - nothing to write home about. I had the issue with the double kick too so I put the single kick back on for now. The hi hat controller feel decent - the construction feels solid. The rack feels sturdy - I switched it around to play left handed. I would have liked to see Bluetooth to connect the app and music. For what it is the kit is pretty fun to play and I’m looking forward to trying out the app and using USB.

I DO appreciate this video bro. I just purchased this set (452K I believe) and haven't "much" issues with it besides the drum pads being......cheap made and "tiny" feeling, just like the rack. Sound on the other hand is quite nice hooked up through a Peavey 5150 Combo guitar amp on clean. The drum/tom pads should be at least 9-10 inches across, and the snare could be much bigger in my opinion as well. The 3 part snare is cool, but a little "cramped" if you will. I paid 899.99 (which included yamaha drum stool and yamaha headphones at my local Long and McQuaid). Great content man!

I think so many other companies were releasing flagships (Roland, Alesis, Pearl, Simmons hobbling back, DW/Gewa, Korg) that there was too much noise. Yamaha chose to innovate rather than arm wrestle with the EAD10. I'm sure these other companies are committed to their models for a few more years. Yamaha can release a flagship in that time that capitalizes on the shortcomings of the others. We all know Roland has an expansion and a couple -kvxsxyAD etc models yet. Alesis has to prove it's durability. Is this DW thing really happening? Are Pearl and Korg making the right move? Their hands are shown. Yamaha is in position to do well now. Anyway, I agree, I wish Yamaha had a little mercy to put a silicon snare pad on these kits.

When you hit the add on crash with kick drum accent, you don’t hear the cymbal because of the cymbal running through the kick drum. You’ve mentioned the pad diameter issue. Otherwise the kit is decent. Maybe a little overpriced.

Ive had this kit for just over a year, it does the job, how ever ive had to replace the kick pad 3 times (lucky i got a 2 year warranty). The first time i had to replace it was my fault because i thrashed it with a double kick Pedal :( The other two times it just crapped out on me, i pulled the kick pad apart and noticed the trigger had disconnected from the pad itself. Ive resorted to using the “metal” preset kit 24/7 as i put the hi-hat clutch pedal where my kick pedal would go and use that as a bass drum. I mostly play thrash metal any ways so it works out...kinda.It is pretty annoying though because i paid $1500 for it (i live in New Zealand) however before it broke it was very decent, i still play it every day and have fun.

@OggyBleacher3 жыл бұрын
I think the hint is if you really want a 3 zone snare then you are advanced enough that this shouldn't be the price range to look in. These are for beginner/hobbyist/experimenting/curious. So, a single zone rubber snare doesn't bother me since I'm pretty happy if my sticks don't collide in mid air. Rim shots and cross sticking are not a big priority. The DTXmania game doesn't even use multi-zone snare sounds. If I needed 3 zone snare I would probably not want rubber pads and this really small rack. I think these 402 series look nice in pictures but people should keep their expectations low before they buy them. They are simple midi triggers. They aren't fancy. They are good for games and messing around. They are disposable consumer electronics. My biggest complaints with the 400 and 402 series is the rubber pads actually produce such a loud noise when struck that I have to turn the volume up on the monitor to be louder than the stick hitting the rubber. It would drive someone nuts to hear that monotone tap sound without music if I used headphones. They would probably prefer to hear real drums, so the silence benefit is not completely true. Maybe if you are in a basement then no one can hear the pad tap, so that would work. But if they are in the other room, they will definitely hear the pad tap. The second complaint is that they barely accommodate a 6' tall person. Just barely. and if I want to raise just the hi hat, I'm out of luck. There is no way to raise it a few inches. And moving the snare arm also moves the hi hat and vice versa. The two are connected. And why use a square head acoustic drum tuning key as the nut driver for an e-kit? These exclusive square screws suck. The dude is correct, they are worth $300, which is what I paid. Nothing in my price range of $300 would be better, so these are as good as it gets. I don't have room for a bigger set so this was my only choice and it's completely adequate. But the 400 series is discontinued years ago and the 402 series will be discontinued very shortly. keep that in mind. The shelf life and support for these kits is short.

Yes I've got the same kick tower and used it with my double pedal. The thing is it isn't without potential problems as the beaters have to be off centre and they share one sensor so the triggering isn't always consistent. It would do for practice in my opinion.

Honestly youre better off buying a yamaha kit from the early 2000s... I have a dtxplorer and it blows this shit out of the water.... kinda sad that an entry level kit (the predecessor to the 400 series) is able to do that in 2018. So many missing features in the new 400 series kits... and it somehow manages to sound WORSE than the dtxplorer. And it was only $199 used at guitar center.

Yamaha should do a Christmas give away of these. Or a contest of some sort and this thing is the participation trophy lol At least someone might want to use one if it was free.

I know alesis is really on the cheaper end but they released a full mesh version of their nitro kit for $350 and it seems way fuckin better than this shit or at the very least as good barring the app features. Idk I'm not an expert but that's just what I've seen looking around. I'm looking at buying a set and i think the nitro kit is what im going with. If anyone has any suggestions on anything better in the same price range feel free to let me know.

hey! i enjoy your content and now i have a question: I'm moving out of my parents house and can't take my acoustic set with me. so i'm planing on buying the roland TD-50KV. of course i can't afford it right now, so i thought i might get me a cheaper one for around 1000 bucks in the meantime. my question is: what (brand) set would you recommend? PS: i watched your videos on sets in different price ranges. should i buy a roland set now, because i want to buy the td50 later anyways or does the brand not mater? (i'd like to combine some parts eventually, if thats even possible and i thought i'd be easier if all parts were of the same making) EDIT: i think i like mesh better than rubber. keep up the good work and thanks sorry for bad spanish.
