Yamaha DTX10K-M Electronic Drum Kit (Black Forest)

Yamaha DTX10K-M Overview

Featuring real drum sounds and real room ambience recorded in world renowned studios, playability that allows you to create sounds intuitively, inspiring feel and expressiveness, and the true beauty of real birch shells with the same finishes used on acoustic drums, the DTX10 series was born from the technology and sensibilities that Yamaha has cultivated over its many years of crafting drums.

Superbly playable

Reproducing the way a drum behaves when struck is a key factor in the playability of electronic drums. Our electronic drums feature a sound module that captures and reproduces the full range of sound, from the initial attack to the final cutoff, all based on samples of authentic drums tuned by skilled engineers and drummers.

Yamaha has undertaken an exhaustive investigation of how drums respond when hit, leveraging this information to achieve a truly faithful representation of instrument behavior. Moreover, professional drummers from around the world have evaluated the performance of the DTX-PROX, further allowing Yamaha to improve its expressive capabilities.

Our expertise as a manufacturer of musical hardware has allowed us to offer combinations of expertly-crafted modules and pads that deliver superb playability.

Original TCS heads

Yamaha Textured Cellular Silicone (TCS) heads use a foam silicone material that contains numerous air bubbles providing firmness and rebound. The air bubbles inside serve as a cushion, softening the impact sound and reducing strain on wrists and elbows. The head surface is just like that of a coated head and prevents the sticks from sliding.

Additionally, a unique floating structure is employed to prevent the head and body parts from coming into direct contact. No vibration is transferred to other parts of the head, and thus quietness and sensitivity are improved.

Live Set function instantly recalls settings

The DTX-PROX is equipped with a “Live Set” function that allows you to freely arrange and set various combinations of kits, tempos and audio files or backing tracks and recall them with a single touch, making it particularly useful for live venues or for live-streaming events. It also allows for various setups, including the WAV & Click Sync function that adds click settings to audio files and follows them for playback, adds a pre-count and stops the click after a pre-arranged time.
