Yamaha DTX402K Electronic Drums Yamaha has introduced the DTX402 Series electronic drums, which includes the DTX402K kit. With immersive drum samples, better-playing rubber pads, and a durable four-post stand, the DTX402K features broad practice and perfor- mance improvements. The DTX402K’s 10 customizable drum kits and 415 percussion sounds offer a wealth of tones to suit any musical application, from pop to metal to EDM and more. As well, the DTX402K sports higher-end responsive rubber pads. The drums are designed to be dynamic and the cymbals can be choked like acoustic cymbals for greater realism. The kit also has a new stable rack system. Hi-hat and cymbal pads sit on offset adjustable cymbal arms for greater positional freedom. Other new features include a crash cymbal that players can choke, left-handed setup options, and 10 onboard training modes. Yamaha has also expanded the options for integrating the use of smartphones and apps with the DTX402 TOUCH App to expand features and allow customizations and editing.
