Yamaha DTX series
Electronic drum and percussion kits / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yamaha DTX series is a range of electronic drum kits and percussion controllers manufactured by the Yamaha Corporation. They currently cover levels from beginner to professional. DTX kits use sampling for their sounds, meaning each kit has built-in digital recordings of real drums, and cymbals. When the drum or cymbal pads are hit, the digital recordings (or samples) are played back to replicate what is being played.[1][2][3]

On all kits, the sounds are editable – the pitch can be made higher or lower (tuned) and many other features. The higher the range of the DTX, the more functions there are editable.[citation needed]
