New drummers and experienced drummers will fall in love with the Yamaha DD-55 Digital Drum Pad. This amazing electronic table-top drum kit was created with drummers in mind by the legendary Yamaha family for drummers of all ages and abilities. It is compact and affordable.
Real Drummers/ Real Drums
The Yamaha DD-55 Digital Drum Pad features eight pads that are touch sensitive and two drum pedals. The placement of all drums is completely authentic. Actual drummers designed the entire drum kit. This gives the kit many advantages over other electronic table-tops. For example, a drum pad is where you expect a drum pad to be! This true to life capability makes it easy for the beginning drummer to learn on the table-top Yamaha DD-55 and later play on an acoustic. It also makes it easy for the professional drummer to jump right in and play.
The control center of the Yamaha DD-55 is another one of its amazing features. Again, the Yamaha Company looked to real drummers when designing the brain for the Yamaha DD-55. It contains over 200 MIDI compatible sounds. In addition, drummers will find 100 songs to drum to, riffs to play with, and an astonishing 50 drum kits.
The control center does not stop with the basics. The Yamaha DD-55 offers bonus features not found in all table-top electronic drum kits. Along with the 50 user kits there are 3 user created kits. A sequencer will allow drummers to record their own sounds. Additionally, digital effects abound including reverb and Master EQ. There is even a hand percussion mode.
The Word on the Street
Users are reporting great things about the Yamaha DD-55. One of its most popular features is the adjustable sensitivity levels. Sensitivity can be set anywhere from 0 to 3 to determine the responsiveness of the drum pad when hit. The settings allow drummers to adjust the kit to their own style and the type of sticks they are comfortable using. (The Yamaha kit comes with a pair of sticks to get you started.)
The layout of the Yamaha DD-55 is another popular feature that sets it apart from the competition. It feels natural – a result of having a team of real drummers on the design team. The pedals work great and the hand percussion mode is personal favorite of many reviewers. It activates the conga and bongo drum kits. Once activated, they can be played by hand.
Do not wait to purchase the Yamaha DD-55! This is the best product in its class, and in many other classes. A true drummer’s electronic drum kit, the Yamaha is great to learn on and perfect for late night practices.
