Yamaha DTX520 Digital Drumkit

Yamaha's DTX Digital Drumkits continue to evolve, and now the latest in the line-up features all kinds of improvements at a relatively low cost.

The Yamaha DTX 520 is an affordable electronic drum kit that is fully featured enough to accompany a drummer through his/her playing career. The snare drum features a DTX Textured drum pad for realistic drum response - essential for playing rudiments accurately on your snare.

3 zone cymbals are ideal for exploiting all the usual properties of a cymbal, electronically; and a flexible and comfortable mounting rack means you can set up your kit as you want!

For intermediate drummers, or beginners looking for a starter kit that is going to provide a satisfying and expressive playing experience when they become more advanced, the DTX520 is an excellent choice, backed by Yamaha - one of the biggest names in instrument manufacture.

Here's what Yamaha say about the DTX520K

At the heart of the DTX520 lies the new DTX snare drum pad featuring Yamaha's 'Textured Cellular Silicone Pad'. This DTX-PAD is 3-Zones which allows 3 separate area's of the playing surface with the Head and 2 Rim Zones. The Cymbal pads are also 3-Zone for Bell, Bow and Edge of the cymbals to allow for total expression. The DTX520K is mounted on a new RS500 rack which is designed for stability, comfort and flexibility. With the powerful DTX500 sound module mounted to one side for easy accessibility and allowing space for individual customer set ups and expansion possibilities.

Utilising the TCS head for superior stick feel, the XP80 provides snare head, open rimshot, and closed rimshot voices in each of the three zones for authentic snare expression. The ride and crash cymbals both feature cup, bow and edge voices and are "choke-able". The realistic sounds of the DTX500 module lets you sound your best, and with the advanced practice tools and easy song recorder you will be getting better all the time.
