Product Information

Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty In terms of the functionality and performance of the DD75 unit itself, I would say to Yamaha that there is a market out there for a 'Pro' version of this 'kit', which would allow more experienced drummers to better replicate the sound and feel of a 'real' kit.

Great drum sounds. Initially, electronic drum pads never sounded great. But modifications and research have enabled companies like Yamaha and Roland to make pretty impressive adjustments. And now you can get great sounds from these drums. HI-HAT: The Hi-hat function only recognises fully open and fully closed sounds, regardless of which type of pedal you use. I appreciate the hi-hat is a hugely complicated thing to model and reproduce, but I would at least like to see a ?half-open? position recognised, to give the player that lovely hi-hat ?sizzle?.I must admit Yamaha has been making a great impact in the world of electronic drums. And the Yamaha DD75 is good proof.

I bought it to learn how to play the drums on a budget, without having much space available and without making too much noise and it works great for me in that regard. The percussion mode lets you enjoy the kits Indian, Chinese, Latin, and many others. Also, you can create other numerous genres to make your experience better. The percussion mode is the latest development that will bring versatility and uniqueness in your sound experience. Batteries: Six 1.5 V "C" size alkaline (LR14), manganese (R14) or six 1.2 V "C" size Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (HR14)If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered

It also includes 105 built-in songs for learning and practicing your technique, with a choice of 75 programmed drum kits and 10 custom kits straight out the box. Yamaha DD75 Drum Machine Key Features: SIZE: I think making the unit physically larger - even by 200mm in width and length - would make the act of playing far more pleasurable and less constricted, without compromising compactness. Sure, it's great discipline to play on such a compact unit, but it can feel a little like 'typing' a groove, rather than playing one.For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. But technology has eliminated these burdens. Electronic drum pads are the most portable drum setups you can find on the market. If you are looking for short-term drumming practice, this is the tool you need. It is affordable, so you can’t feel bad about your money. The pad design on the DD-75 makes it instantly comfortable to play. The eight pads are positioned around the surface to offer a similar set up to a standard kit. The different sizes make it easy to distinguish between different sections of the kit, with the largest pads dedicated to your most important drums. The pad surfaces are responsive to both hand percussion and beaters, making them usable with all drumming techniques. The pads have a durable rubber layer along their surface, so you can confidently perform without worrying about sensitivity. Voices

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. You can build custom kits arranged however you want and the pads are symmetrical so you could arrange a custom kit to have the snare & hats on the right instead of the left if that's what you prefer. Other Control: Pad & Bass Pedal Sensitivity Adjustment: Preset: 5 types (Fix, 1-4), Custom Setting: 10 Most of them even come with built-in speakers. This means you don’t have to struggle to buy external audio output. The DD-75’s range of sounds make it ideal for both live and casual drummers. The 570 voices span a range of genres and can be easily assigned through the interface. The acoustic samples feature a similar sound to real kits, making it ideal for gigging musicians wanting a more portable instrument. The MIDI in and out connections can be easily hooked up to recording and PA systems for instant use. The touch sensitivity offers varied tone depending on your velocity for a varied sound with improved response.Are you in a place where you wish to practice without disturbing others? Well, the volume control on the Yamaha DD75 is there for this purpose. VOICE LIBRARY: The inbuilt voice library contain way too many 'novelty' sounds that no serious drummer will ever use. This unit needs a greater range of 'real kit' samples, it is especially weak in the range of crash cymbals and snares. It also works as a midi controller with a DAW and a plugin that allows you to assign cc to certain sounds (Steven Slate Drums for example), I didn't try this feature though, so it might be a mess to setup, like every midi I own. With this electronic kit, you are exposed to high-quality drums and percussion sounds from different parts of the world. You get a combination of voices, enabling you to create and produce your own music as you wish.
