The DTX8 Series electronic drums deliver high-quality percussive sounds and puts drummers in control of their creative expression. The real sound and ambience, the tactile feel of TCS pads along with positional sensing on ride and TCS snare provide a natural feel and response. The real wood birch wrapped shells, handcrafted and stained in the same factory as the Yamaha acoustic drums, offer the beauty and presence of premium acoustic drums.
