Yamaha have decades of experience in creating both traditional, acoustic drum kits and electronic drum kits so it's fair to say they know a thing or two about how they sound. We know that Yamahas code-like product names don’t exactly roll off the tongue, but figuring out which is which is a fairly simple task. Let us elaborate. The Roland TD-17KV lets you bake your cake and eat it too with pro features at a mid-range price-point. Here’s your 60-second primer explaining everything you need to know when buying an electronic drum kit.In addition to the kits, there are 287 expressive drum sounds, with electronic and acoustic effects to choose from. If you want to be unconventional, you can mix these up in whichever way you want, giving you the ultimate flexibility to craft your own signature sound. One key differential is that, rather than the mesh heads found on some of Roland's entry-level kits - and certainly on the company's intermediate to top-end kits - Yamaha offers its own material, known as Textured Cellular Silicone, or TCS. Designed to recreate the feel and rebound of traditional mylar acoustic drum heads, while also being pleasingly quiet, it’s a unique material, but it really works. These heads are found on Yamaha's DTX6, DTX8 and DTX10 series'. The kit uses a real bass drum pedal, allowing you to develop the necessary technique to play with one.

What’s unique about the Yamaha DTX402 Electronic Drum Kit? The main differences between the DTX402 and other beginner kits are the challenge and learning functions. There’s also a coaching function for building chops and even learning how to read drum notation.

Alternative Drum Sets customisable sounds – Over 400 Yamaha sounds and 10 kits come included with the module, but don’t forget the DTX Touch app that lets you customise sounds and create new drum kits.

These include the Pad Gate Function, suited even to beginners, which trains you up gradually over time, the rhythm Gate Function, which fosters a precise sense of rhythm – fundamental for drumming, and the Fast Blast Function, which measures the speed of your strokes. There is also a scoring function so you can assess your skills objectively. Take advantage of this complete range of support functions to improve your power of expression as a drummer.
