Yamaha Unveils New DTXtreme Models
Yamaha Drums introduces the DTXTREME III and DTXTREME III Special electronic Drum Sets.
In addition to redesigned cymbals, a new kick tower, and an all-new module, the sets use the same technology that powers the Yamaha MOTIF XS synthesizer.
Yamaha tells us that in addition to over 1,000 onboard drum, percussion and special effect voices, the module includes over 100 General MIDI voices. With the optional memory installed, 512 MB of sampling allows players to trigger a large library of custom sounds. Combine the stacking and layering capabilities of 100 voices with other advanced features, and the DTXTREME III is a complete workstation for drummers. Both DTXTREME III versions include 3-zone drum and cymbal pads, USB connectivity and an advanced internal sequencer.
Several Yamaha drum artists, including Tommy Aldridge, Akira Jimbo, Russ Miller, John "JR" Robinson and Tony Verderosa, among others, had a hand in designing the new DTXTREME III.
The DTXTREME III Special comes with Yamaha's new Hex Rack System, which locks drums and cymbals firmly in place and offers versatility for a completely customized set up.
The DTXTREME III Special and DTXTREME III Standard electronic drumsets are shipping.
