DTX6 Series


"A powerful, engaging drumming experience"

The DTX6 Series features the innovative KIT MODIFIER, which sparks creativity and delivers superb performance in a compact configuration.

The original Yamaha TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) head used in the flagship models combines with real sound and ambience recorded in a world-renowned studio to provide an authentic playing experience.

The DTX6 Series is recommended for all drummers who want to have fun, play like a pro and hope to easily transfer their skills to acoustic drums.


Real sounds that drive the drummer

No compromises have been made in recording the sound of the instruments themselves - the key to any drum sound along with the ambience of the place where they are played. The DTX-PRO has been fine-tuned to follow the drummer's performance and allow for maximum expression.

The acoustic drum sounds built into the DTX-PRO are all real sounds recorded in well-known studios. In addition, we have actual ambience elements that are unique to those studios.

A professional recording engineer has recorded and mixes performances by leading Yamaha artists, which the sound director, an electronic musical instrument development professional, has used extensively, from the initial attack until the very end of the recording.

The DTX pads, the drummer’s interface with their instrument, have been carefully matched to the DTX-PRO Module to offer excellent expressive capabilities.

Intuitive functionality that stirs creativity

The KIT MODIFIER featured on the DTX-PRO offers drummers limitless possibilities.

The KIT MODIFIERs condense the sound creation know-how that Yamaha has accumulated over decades into three knobs: AMBIENCE, COMPRESSION, and EFFECT. A wide range of tonal possibilities are available thanks to Yamaha engineers — from the natural sound of acoustic drums, through to live performance sounds, to heavily effected sounds.

The AMBIENCE knob controls the natural ambience and reverb of the drum kit sound. On acoustic drum sounds, the AMBIENCE MODIFIER controls the real recorded natural ambience from 0-50%. When turned up higher than 50%, high quality digital reverb is also introduced to the sound.

The COMP and EFFECT knobs utilize the "1-knob" control technology featured in many Yamaha PA products.

The COMP adds one-knob compression to the whole kit sound, from subtle to very obvious, while EFFECT controls the mix of the two internal effects processors. The processors are fully adjustable and have a long list of available effects to choose from.

A playing experience in a class of its own

The DTX6 Series is equipped with TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) heads providing unparalleled levels of feel and quietness.

Yamaha's original TCS head uses a foamed silicone material that contains innumerable air bubbles. With the perfect level of firmness and rebound that allows players to hit hard, TCS offers a natural, pleasant feel that inspires you to want to keep playing, and because the surface never loosens, every strike feels perfect.

In addition, a unique floating structure without any direct contact with the head and body parts prevents vibration from being transmitted elsewhere, while also improving sensitivity, and the air bubbles in the TCS head serve as a cushion to soften the stick sound.

The colors and finishes shown may vary from those on the actual products.
