DTX 900 comes complete with a selection of over 50 pre-set kit, all the onboard sounds can also be adapted and easily stored to one of the 50 user kits and over 40 onboard songs of all styles are on offer which can also be further adapted and stored as user sets.

Coming complete with Cubase AI5 the new DTX900 can be linked directly to your computer and via USB can also control Cubase directly from the module. The new DTX900 module is also capable of importing and layering samples using optional memory.

With this kit having one less tom pad and a smaller, lighter rack than the DTX950K, it is very much suited to home practice/ smaller studio applications and the gigging drummer who needs quality sounds with a small kit footprint.

As Yamaha have some of the best sounding high end acoustic kits, they have sampled them to provide the user access to these kits without having to purchase one of each.

 The sampling function (usable with the optional DIMM) allows the user to add any individual sound or sequence to the unit. These sound/sequences can be edited on the module and assigned to any pad.

 These things and more make this a very interesting kit and with the new feel pads, it should be as good to play as an acoustic.

This is what Yamaha say about the DTX900

We've combined our expertise in acoustic drums with our latest digital sound technology to create the new Yamaha DTX900 Series Electronic Drum System. Yamaha designed its innovative new DTX-PAD featuring a Textured Cellular Silicone (TCS) head with input from the company's legendary stable of drum artists. Utilizing sound technology from the highly acclaimed Motif XS and DSP effects from our high-end digital mixers, the DTX900K Drum Trigger Module has professional sounds that bring your drumming to life. The DTX900 Series lets you express yourself without thinking about the fact you are playing electronic drums, but it has all the advantages of a completely digital system.

For quiet practice, playing live or as a controller for VST instruments, the revolutionary new T.C.S. head's playability and feel combined with Yamaha's acclaimed digital sound technology, make the Yamaha DXT900 Series Electronic Drums the one to beat.
