I really enjoy reading everyones comments on here when I have a minute... Thanks to all for sharing your opinions! As a consumer, if a low price is all that matters, there are a ton of cheap options out there. Heck, you could build your own electronic kit for less than anything on the market. I tend to lean toward quality, reliability, feel, & durability for my gigs. Thanks and congrats to Yamaha for such an amazing kit.
I had this for years now and number one reason I like this is durability of the pads..I had mesh kit and it only last like a year.. Switching to these actually saves money in the long run
I upgraded my Dtx 540k to additional pad tom and snare , also added a hi hat double pedal all by Yamaha , and added 2 more cymbals , so it's a huge 6 pieces and 5 cymbals . Cost more but a great drum set !
@bj998989 actually, the DTX950 has triple zone cymbals and pads, with dual zone high hat. The dm10 studio is with only dual zone pads and a triple zpne ride.
wow yamaha is really improving! If I had the money I would absolutely buy this kit! Roland is also great, but they haven't introduced something new the last few years (I think)
@toujames That isn't really new .. No, It's a great drumkit, but with these you can really see competition. With the DTXtreme III it was really Roland that won. (although they are a little bit pricy)
@serenopiovoso - haha... Doesn't your local music shop have these yet? check out some of my other links on my page to hear more of the kits. There are plenty of vids floating around now... -Z
@toujames oh .. on thomann their cheaper than the TD-20, not even 5000 euro's. If a acoustic kit is too loud but you do have the money, this one is perfect!
@oroschwanz Mesh heads are just too bouncy.I was at sam ash yesterday playing a roland td 12 and it's harder to play simple snare rolls on them than yamaha brand.Yamaha has a more natural feel to me.
Is there any drum module that comes a little bit colse to Software Drum libraries? Electronic drums release are only evolving in hardware. They sound like shit compared to SD or BDF even in the lite versions.
People, use the Alesis USB I/O and connect to computer and you have a lot more quality for half the price. the thomann mesh sets are way better than this and they don`t even cost 1000 euros.
@bj998989 I know you posted this 3 month ago, but still .. wow 0.o that is comparing a bike with a Ferrari and say they are just as fast 0.o I had an Alesis, and it isn't that good. Believe me, this is worth the extra 3000.

Went from Roland TD11k to Yamaha DTX720k.
Happy Camper. :)

Now I can play rock band on extra hard
think I might pick one of these up in the new year,gotta get a loan though since 4000 bones isn't sitting in a coffee tin on my dresser

how is still their flagship kit? It's damn near 10 years old now
Can I plug Ddrum Triggers (used with acoustic drums) into the Yamaha DTX900 sound module or can I only connect electronic pads?
You are a legend
you honestly can't go wrong with either.

AWW GOD IM DYING OF SO MUCH AWESOMENESS
can you cymbal roll on these? always hated electric cymbals..great kit though
moby dick! my xp100sd is in the post on it's way to me.....can't wait!
so this or the Td-20?
6:28 .. what's the name of the song? :D
Which one Should I buy? DTX900k or the TD30k?
I would recommend TD30KV.

Someone should fire their R&D dept.
@SamKillickProduction You can have it...I play both kits regularly..the DTX is a better kit.
1 Persons a Roland fan
@serenopiovoso It's not a instrument, it's a machine! xD
People, use the Alesis USB I/O and connect to computer and you have a lot more quality for half the price. the thomann mesh sets are way better than this and they don`t even cost 1000 euros.
Is that Moby Dick in the background?

I had an Alesis, and it isn't that good. Believe me, this is worth the extra 3000.
I swear the yamaha dtx700 cymbals sound better than the ones on this!
the dm10 is not the same at all. It does not have as many levels of multisamples, the dynamics are not the same, the samples are not as good...
Alesis sucks. The thing is that Alesis mainly focuses on reverbs and stuff like that while Yamaha focuses on actual instruments... no brainer
1st thing I get if I get rich... Hahahaha
Holy machine gunning! Sounds like crap.
VST = fixed. It's an issue with both brands - EASILY solved.
rolands better TD20 poops on this kit.
It'd be nice to shut up a bit and let the viewer listen to the drums... whatan annoyance!!!! "And now listen to the cowbell..."
