Featuring a TCS snare and a module based on the award-winning DTXPRESS IV, this e-kit will make you the heart of the beat.

The compact Yamaha DTX550K electronic drum set offers the snare, hi-hat, and ride cymbal—three of any drum kit's core components. With an amazing feel and a diverse array of functions, Yamaha DTX550K electronic drums bring you an impressive range of sounds that make this an ideal set whether you're practicing at home or performing live onstage.

Yamaha DTX-PAD Snare
As the focal point of the drum kit, the Yamaha DTX550K is equipped with a DTX-PAD Snare, the Yamaha XP100SD. In its development Yamaha set out to do more than just offer a drumhead that plays like an acoustic drum. In order to find out exactly how the feel of a drum encourages a drummer to keep playing, Yamaha worked with some of the industry's top drummers. The Yamaha DTX-PAD is the result of this collaboration, and is crafted with a textured cellular silicone head with the inner air bubbles configured to give near perfect response for continuous play and subtle stick work.

Yamaha Moving Hi-Hat Pad
A great hi-hat is a crucial part of any drum kit, and the DTX550K is no exception. With the Yamaha RHH135 moving-type electronic hi-hat, you can play the most nuanced of passages with precision and clarity.

Yamaha DTX-500 Sound Module
Contained within the compact body of the Yamaha DTX500 drum module are 427 amazing percussion sounds, created by a tone generator that handles both subtly nuanced snare work and dynamic, powerful drum strokes with ease. 50 preset drum kits have been carefully chosen to cover a diverse range of genres, including rock, funk, jazz, reggae, and Latin. The Yamaha DTX500 drum module stores up to 20 original drum kits and also features an onboard high-quality digital reverb. It offers a suite of comprehensive training functions to help you improve your drumming. The combination of a realistic hi-hat with the DTX-PAD's natural feel provides an enjoyable practice experience that's difficult to beat.

Kick pedal sold separately.
