5:17 Enter Sandman! 🤘🤘
Hey Harry, absolutely! Well the "Black Vinyl" kit kind of demanded for that groove ;-D kind regards!
I heard that too. Came to the comments to see if anyone else did. Lol
I enjoy these kit reviews. No talking, just straight up playing to showcase what they can do.
Thank you, great to hear! :)
I am so suprised by how much better this sounded than what I was expecting! Very impressive from Yamaha.
You shouldn’t be shocked have you heard yamahas acoustic kits they recorded most of these with their recording customs and tour customs which are DOPE
@@dragonheart2403 Completely different development programs - acoustic and electronic. Any electronic drum developer can find great drums to sample. That's not the hard part.
It does sound great!
I've been using that module for over a year now. The stock sounds in the module are really good. A lot of editing options also.
The fact the color matches a acoustic kit makes this extra appealing. You can buy the acoustic bass and put a trigger on it to make the kit look bigger. I think a Yamaha was smart to do this.
Exactly. And the sound as well
Bingo!!!
The matching RC RW kick is expensive though…
As always... Great grooves 🤙
killer!!!!! very realistic on the toms sounds, more convincent than other brands
Probably the best electronic drums on the market at this moment. Yamaha strikes again with a superb module and a beautiful drum kit.
Damn that Black Vinyl kit sounds heavy! Best sound I´ve heard from all e-drums yet!
Yamaha sounds are very authentic. I have there keyboard and there samples sound so real.
Nice drums and professional drummer=Great combination! This particular model sounds amazing!
Thank you very much! :)
Just ordered my kit...have to wait until April but can't wait to jam. Great video!
Thank you Mark & happy drumming! :)
Wow very clean
The sounds are super authentic and easily tailored to your individual taste. I’ve listened to a crazy amount of electronic drum videos lately. Yamaha gets my vote all around. They just need to offer more acoustic looking kit options to take the lead.
Hey Ian, did you have the chance to check out the drum-tec Silent Studio Sessions yet:
ruclips.net/video/F8iciO7ENcA/видео.html
Kind regards!
The black DTX8K looks sweet, May take it to a gig tomorrow evening!
A few of those kits actually sound quite decent. Well done yamaha.
I have a DTX6 kit (little brother to this one with the same module) and that Black Vinyl kit at 5:16 never fails to sounds BEASTLY!!
Absolutely!
Oooo this is pretty nice
That's the dream
Sounds amazing. Looks amazing.
I was decided to go for td27 and yamaha drops this. Just what I needed. Thanks for these videos and don't let Ralf take off for his home planet, we need legendary drummers like him to get inspiration. Well drum my man !
😀 thank you so much, guess I'll be staying a while longer then...
Get the TD17 with EZDrummer 2. So, so much better and more than half the price. These sounds don't even come close to EZDrummer 2, believe me.
@@banburydrumtuition8651 I get where you coming from and definitely makes sense for some people.
I tried the td/17/27/50 quite a bit and (even though I intent to use SD3 or ED software for sure later) they just don't fit into my situation. As with girlfriend,.. size, looks and the sounds it makes somewhat matter to me.
Roland stuff is more user friendly...this thing hates me!
@@memyselfandlewii8781 :-D I know the feeling
Seems like a great value. Maybe not as powerful processing as high end V-Drums but they seem fully functional.
I’ve Roland vdrums only for 10 years but I’m seriously considering buying this
PERFECT SOUND.. BEST DRUM E EVER
Thank you so much Nicky! You can find more drumming/music over at my personal channel if you like:
ruclips.net/user/digitaldrumming
Kind regards!
Precioso sonido ❤️
The kick pad looks really substantial, much more so than on the Roland kit I used to use.
I have this kick pad on my dtx6 kit. It’s miles ahead of Roland’s kick on their TD27 IMO
@@daviddenton8763 Hi! I've heard that this kick pad doesn't work very well with double pedal. What do you think about It?
thank you!
🙂👍 Nice! Nice playing, too!
Thank you Janet!
Fantastic sound. Better than any Roland module, even TD50X.
Yes but wait till you want to change a rim sound....complicated AF
Nice demo Ralf. You always bring the best out in any kit. Glad Yamaha went back to its year 2000 look for this kit. Long overdue. The original Yamaha Dtxtreme 1 kit was the best looking Yamaha electric kit until this new one has come along. Sounds from the new module are very good and useable live or in a studio.
Thank you very much Paul!
Looking at buying one now... the silicone surface feels much more like a drum than the various mesh kits out there. And I also prefer the sounds and price to the Rolands etc.
Wow, Yamaha did really well with this module. Very solid sounding kits. If they step up their game with the pad sizes and they would be good to go imo
Look at the dtx10 line. It’s comparable to a compact acoustic kit with its sizes
Olden Days snare sounds natural and awesome.
I like the hollywood kit. That sold it for me
Just assembled my Yamaha DTX 8M kit today with the double Yamaha kick pedals. Tight fit but it sounds great . Started out with the Yamaha 402K last year..Can't beat Yamaha electronic drums and insturments
Have fun with the kit! :)
Hi! I've heard that there is a noticeable difference of volume between the two beaters when hitting the kick pad and that is kind of an issue. What's your opinion about it?
I have always wanted e-drums with a cool aucustic design, high quality punchy sounds and long lasting quality...I guess my dream just came true omg. Too bad I need to sell my alesis strike first but well...better try this out in music stores in the mean time hehe.
Would you say this is better than the strike ? I don't know which one to go with between the two
🤣🤣🤣....... Sorry. But your stuck with that Alesis pal!! This is a very cool affordable high end kit.
Yamaha absolutely came out swinging with these new modules and kits. Please refresh the dtx multi 12 w/ new sounds and larger storage capacity 64/128 MB’s of sample capacity is not enough!!!!!!
Yamaha DTX8K-M 💪🔥🔥🔥 #1 mejor sonido que he oido ni Roland TD 50 ni tampoco Alesis Strike Pro se compara con este Yamaha
Good good
Amazing Sounding Build and the LIve kits are Nice too!!!Finally they think to put at the module all these kits that any user finds in a software like EZdrummer Or Addictive Drums and not sell an e-drums like the only midi pads with poor sound.Why are they didn't do it earlier??
Hi. Firstly amazing demo as always! Is this kit expandable with splitters? Can I add more cymbals by sacrificing some of the zones on the toms or cymbals? How does this compare to the Roland VAD306?
Thank you very much! Yes you can expand the Yamaha module with splitters, for more detail please get in touch through service@drum-tec.de
The Roland VAD306 has comparable sizes, but sounds considerably different:
ruclips.net/video/jI-nNoqklAU/видео.html
Kind regards!
Sounds like it has some life to it unlike the td17 td27 td50
Agree… Roland sound don’t do it for me either… I’ve owned / played numerous Roland’s …always lifeless to me
Agreed! The only thing is that the stock sounds are quite compressed. Even the bop kit snare is quite compressed.
Hi drumtech i have the exact same drum with you guys but how can we set the cross stick and rim shot coz we cant find the sound here haha thanks mate
could i use this kit for streaming? Aka connect the sound to my laptop and send it to the stream?
This is some serious competition to the TD-27KV. If I had to choose, I’m not sure what I would do. Sounds and pad looks seems to be on the side of Yamaha but the response of the digital ride and snare plus the size of the pads are on the Roland side. Not easy…
Exactly: I'm in the same situation
@@AerisVelivolus Me too... 🥲
I’m sold on this one. Trying to upgrade from a Yamaha that released 10+ years ago
That will be an upgrade indeed! 😀
Great drumming! Not sure if ATV AD5 or this module sounds better. This bop groove kit is love at first sight. Anyway, Ralf, on which edrumset do you enjoy playing the most (Roland VAD, ATV, Yamaha, etc)? Thanks!
Thank you very much! I mostly use a setup like this for studio work:
ruclips.net/video/F8iciO7ENcA/видео.html
That's a drum-tec pro series kit (which has the most authentic playing feel I have yet experienced, especially the Real Feel bass drums are outstanding), hooked up to a Roland module/Roland cymbals triggering external libraries like Toontrack SD, SSD5 etc.
For live, I also wouldn't hesitate to use a similar kit setup with the Pearl Mimic Pro module:
ruclips.net/video/k1jf3ysRp0M/видео.html
At my slightly smaller home studio, I am using a slightly smaller drum-tec diablolo ltd. kit :)
ruclips.net/video/bWRvrgJVFSo/видео.html
Again, in combination with a Roland sound module/cymbals & external sample library sounds.
Kind regards!
I noticed you hit the button on the module before playing the cross-stick sound. If you don’t push that button, is the default rim sound a rim shot? I’ve heard this model struggles distinguishing between rim click and shot. Then again, so does my current Roland TD-9 (I had to mess with the sensitivity and the threshold where the rim click MIDI note changes to the rim shot MIDI note).
Hey bro.. Which sound better alesis strike pro SE or Dtx8 ? Because The price is similiar same
Does anyone here know if this kit can get loud given the wooden shells? I am torn between this and the TD 17KVXS
Actually sounds decent
this sounds better than anything from Roland
Thanks very much! Great beats. What head phones are you using?
Thank you! It's the Roland RH-300V:
www.drum-tec.de/roland-rh-300v-v-drums-kopfhoerer
Kind regards!
@drumtecTV - I've heard some people say that the Kick Pad doesn't work so well with double pedals (the left and right beaters can have different velocities while played equally) - are you able to confirm or deny this at all? Thanks! Otherwise, this kit looks and sounds fantastic - plus Yamaha stuff always has really good build quality. The module has loads of useful features too.
I have the same question!
works fine !
I mean you can just adjust the pedals...
It's true that KP90 Kick Pad is rather soft and double pedals system is hard to adjust in order to get a better reaction on both beaters... any help ?
Would you choose this or the Efnote 5 or 5x? You’ve played them both and you are fantastic so I trust your judgement. Thanks!
Thank you John :) That's a tough question, as these two kits are VERY different from each other. The pads / playing feel as well as sounds / module features are "two pair of shoes" so to say, I liked both kits actually.
The best would be to play / test both side by side & decide for yourself, which fits your individual preference & needs better I guess. Both play/trigger nicely, but feel & sound very different from each other. Kind regards!
I'm kind of switching to get this DTX 8K instead of the Roland VAD306. Any thoughts guys?
Hey Marcos, you might also check out the EFNOTE3 as another interesting alternative:
ruclips.net/video/wWd-BzmNqO0/видео.html
Kind regards!
is the snare pad 3 zones? how can you get rim shot and cross stick both at the same time? Great drumming by the way
Yeah most Yamaha snares are 3 zoned. Only the lower end rubber ones aren't.
EDIT: Seems like I'm wrong. How weird, seems like a downgrade to not make these 3 zoned.
It has what they call „X-Stick adjust“ strong hits trigger rimshots and weak hits cross-sticks
@@hoipimniet wrong, this pads are all dual zone
@@laloadler8044 Seems like you're right. WTF Yamaha.
Wow. These sound great, great sizes, seems like great sensitivity on the HH . . . . 3 zone cymbals . . . . . HUGE sound . . . . and Basically same price as Roland TD-27 . . . . . but soooo much punchier and better looking. I was looking at the TD-17kvx first, then got seduced by the 27kv . . . . and then this thing drops, right about the same price as the TD-27 . . . . Now what am I gonna do . . . .
Sounds like you're being seduced by the same sets as I am. I'd love to know what you end up going with.
@@izzfoshizz9982 Same here!!!!
When did Yamaha announce this brand new e-kit?
Great video review, congratulations! I am undecided whether to buy this model of the YAMAHA reviewed here or the ROLAND VAD-306 could you give me some advice? Keep in mind that the fact that Roland doesn't provide the hi-hat and snare stand for me isn't a problem because I already own this hardware, but the fact that Roland doesn't have a hardware kit to install the toms on etc. I don't like that much. I await your reply, thanks.
Walter
I'm in your very same situation! At least, I know that whatever drumset I choose it will be a good decision, but I want to pick the best one because it's a lot of money!
Is there enough room to add another floor tom on the rack? Can the module be placed on the hi hat side instead?
Generally speaking everything is possible :) Please feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for discussing a customized version of the hardware/kit. Kind regards!
Great vid cause of great drummer, thx!! Also works with double bass?
Thank you very much René! Yes you can play the bd pad with a double pedal, but you might get a custom kit configuration from drum-tec with a more stable bass drum pad with more realistic rebound. The rubber bass drum pad of the DTX8K-M is one of the weaker parts in my opinion, feel free to get in touch through service@drum-tec.de for further assistance.
You can also find more drumming/music on my personal channel over here if you like:

@@drumtecTV
So nice that you give a honest response. I will definitely buy my e-drums with you.
Might even visit you with some drum bros 🤟🏼
wish i can play like that, lol
Will you guys have the spare pads in stock? Great playing, as always!
Thank you Angel! Yes, single pads will be available from drum-tec hopefully soon. Kind regards!
Hey, how do you record these drums? Also, I noticed that the DTX 8 only has a dual snare not a three zone one like the DTX6. Do you think a threesome snare is a deal breaker for a kit?
Hi, I recorded straight from the stereo output of the module without any further mixing/editing. I think there are two versions of the Yamaha kits, one with mesh head snare (like in the video) and one with the TCS snare:
www.drum-tec.com/yamaha-dtx8k-x-tcs-head-set-real-wood-incl.-live-sound-edition
Haven't had a chance to play the TCS snare yet unfortunately. Kind regards!
Nice demo, I own the version with silicon pads, beautiful wood finish, just an observation: the hihat cup is the other way around with the largest part on top
You are right, my bad! 😀
How is the silicone set in comparison ?
How many inputs are there for additional pads / cymbals?
And is it possible to split pads like on Roland or Alesis modules?
Thanks for that great demo playing!
Thank you very much! You can find more info on the DTX PRO module over here:
www.drum-tec.com/yamaha-dtx-pro-sound-module
Please feel free to get in touch through service@drum-tec.de for further assistance, kind regards!
Yes you can split the 3 tom inputs and the 14 input. Additionally you can add a single pad to the kick
Let me start by saying I am a BIG Yamaha supporter, across the spectrum. This kit is probably the best sounding kit Yamaha has produced. With that being said...the sound it produces is nowhere near the accuracy or fullness of Roland. Not in the same neighborhood. Not in the same town. Congrats to Yamaha for stepping up their E-drum game.
LOL…you obviously are a Roland fan..just admit…Ive played both..both kits have their pluses and minuses..but the Yamaha’s do sound more like real drums IMO😊
With the introduction of positional sensing, at these prices, all big kits should have it least on their snares.
Positional sensing as a sound module feature is a Roland exclusive patent/technology until now. Kind regards!
@drumtecTV I'm torn between this Yamaha and the Roland VAD 306... Which one would you recommend me and why?
Both kits are nice, but very different. Best would be to try them out side by side to see which playing feel you prefer. You might also throw in the drum-tec Jam NG series as another option, which is compatible with Yamaha DTX PRO and Roland TD-17 module:
ruclips.net/video/McH1VaHNOvs/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/SMsH41EthCo/видео.html
You might get in touch through service@drum-tec.de for further info and/or an individual quote on any custom kit configuration incl. international shipping if you like. Kind regards!
@drumtec Can you trigger samples from VSTs with it?
The module has a midi output, so yes you can :) kind regards!
hi, i am undecided between this, the roland vad306 or the efnote 3x, any advice? thank you very much
All three kits are nice, yet very different. Best would be to test all of them side by side at a musicstore that has them all available (might be tough though, especially EFNOTE I guess).
It also depends on what features/sounds you'll need in the first place / what kind of musical styles you'll mainly be playing.
EFNOTE module has just a bunch of kits, that all sound very natural/unprocessed and kind of vintage/oldschoolish. They're nice for jazz/funk/blues/vintage pop rock). Yamaha has a lot more processed and also FX sounds, the Roland TD-17 might be the most flexible with a lot of drum/percussion & FX sounds. (You'll find comprehensive sound demos of all modules/kits on our channel btw)
Still, all of the kits' pad setups feel completely different physically speaking, so it's really tough to give a non-subjective advice on this.
And then, there's even more options :) as you can get any compatible custom kit configuration from drum-tec (all drum-tec, Roland, ATV & EFNOTE pads are 100% compatible, only EFNOTE hihat isn't).
Feel free to get in touch through experts@drum-tec.de for further assistance and/or an individual quote including international shipping anytime.
Kind regards!
Do you know the latency of this kit? Thanks in advance, I love your reviews!
Latency of DTX-PRO and DTX-PROX is 7ms!
Are the sound in this video from the Stock Yamaha Sound Module? Or it's the custom Drumtec sound? Can I buy the sound separately?
The kit names are shown in the bottom left corner, if the kits are part of the drum-tec Live Sound Edition you can read it there :) you'll find the full demo for the DTX PRO Live Sound Edition over here:
ruclips.net/video/NItZtEqi5d0/видео.html
Kind regards!
can we just use regular Yamaha's rubber / silicone pad
Yes, the kit is also available with silicone pads actually:
www.drum-tec.com/yamaha-dtx8k-x-tcs-head-set-real-wood
For more info please feel free to get in touch through service@drum-tec.de, kind regards!
Looks great sounds great IMPOSSIBLY COMPLICATED to program.
After hours of trying, watching videos, and reading the manual all I can do is get a rim sound to change by accident. About to do a second factory reset. I regret buying this thing that's for sure.
Why nobody mentions this is a mystery to me!
Hi, sorry to hear that! I think one of the first things to do with the module is to set up the kind of kit you are using with it, then the trigger settings should be working fine for your pad setup? Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV Thanks, I am using it with the DTX8K-M Pads and such.
I may have finally found the answer in the trigger section of the reference manual. Four factory resets and hopefully no more
Did Yamaha forget to include the kick drum in the design process? Odd.
€ 2375 Is way to expensive for most people! Anyway...very smooth drumming!!
Thank you!
Are these the silicone heads? Nicely done as always!
Thank you very much! No, this is the mesh head version actually, kind regards!
Make tutorial for setting the pads, 3 zone, sensing, all of it 😭😭
I have bought this drum kit and I want to know the dimensions of the drum carpet matt thing that you used in this video so I can buy something the right size

Hey did this come with all the pedals and Tom's? I just ordered this and just wanted to make sure.
@@ShadowXMewtwo tragically I ordered the drum kit late november in france, The website said it was out of stock but they would send it when it was in stock. They never sent it so I ended up getting a refund. I am probably going to order a different drum kit...
@@simonebiles7189 that's unfortunate.i ordered mine a couple days ago and it will be here tomorrow. I found it doesn't come with pedals...oh well. Spending more money I guess.
Hey Ralph, what are your thoughts on the kick tower KP90 from yamaha?
As far as I remember it worked well, but playing feel was far from a real bass drum :) the problem of all affordable bass drum pads is, that their materials result in pretty high volume & unrealistic playing feel (like ROland KD-10 also).
I'd always recommend to invest in a really nice bass drum pad, as this elevates your whole kit on another level in my opinion. Depending on what module you use, you might pick a drum-tec diabolo Real Feel or the ATV aDrums bass drum for most authentic results. KInd regards!
@@drumtecTV Thank you! would you include the drum tec Jam NG bass drum in that list of authentic feeling bass drums?
@@xzivriel Yes absolutely, but unfortunately the Jam NG series is only available in complete shell sets:
www.drum-tec.com/pads/drum-tec-jam
Kind regards!
@@drumtecTV yes I know!! I'm thinking of getting the jam NG with the dtxpro module! that or dtx8 with the TCS pads. I'm sure either are great sets
How do I choose between this one and Roland vad307?? I’m so confused.
Hey Corey, best would be to check out both kits side by side to find out which playing feel /sounds & features you prefer. Kind regards!
does the hi hat stand come in the box?
Hey Simone, no hh stand included. You can find more info on the kit & components here:

Yeah, BLACK VINYL KIT! :-D
Wat about hihat?
Is there any position sensing?
No, there actually is no hihat controller with positional sensing except the Roland VH-14D as far as I know. You might get in touch through service@drum-tec.de for further info if you like though, kind regards!
Do you have this in stock? Also what would be comparable.
Check this: www.drum-tec.com/sets/yamaha
Well I think he play enter the sandman from Metallica at black vinyl part ?? Correct me if im wrong
You are absolutely right, as you say: it's the "Black Vinyl" kit, so it made a lot of sense to play it ;-)
Sound like eZ drums on my speaker phone
The cymbals sound better than the Roland(non-digital).. maybe because of there 3 zones. I need to buy a Yamaha hi-hat to confirm.
can i ask what the difference between dtx8K and dtx10K?

Thanks
HI, you can find detailed info on all the kits over here:
www.drum-tec.com/sets/yamaha?p=1

Most natural sounding, better than Roland, and not by a small margin. I'm switching to Yamaha now.
Basically this Kit sounds too synthesised to me, especially the Toms, the Hi-Hat I would say is probably the only thing that does sound quite convincing, but it definitely has some awesome Drum sounds!, 👍🏾
What watch is he wearing?
Hi, I am wearing a Nixon "Dork Too" in this video :) kind regards!
Wow some metalica wibes there
Yes, you mean the "Black Vinyl" kit :) kind regards!
Enter Sandman with Black Vinyl
Absolutely, the Black Vinyl called for it :)
Yamaha DTX8KM or Roland VAD706 ?
OR 100% Roland compatible drum-tec Jam 3 / diabolo series in any custom configuration of your choice :)

roland game over
2 years later and yeah nah….
Nah until Yamaha introduces a digital hats, snare a ride then Roland is still the leader. That being said, this is still a very nice kit and I’d take it over any Roland less than the TD-27kv2
How many drummers use this kit live?
That's what I thought.
5:22 ha! enter sandman
Absolutely, the "Black Vinyl" kit it is :) kind regards!
