Yamaha DTX6K3-X Electronic Drum Kit
Dynamic Expression, Powerful Creativity, Realistic Playability
The Yamaha DTX6K3-X delivers premium feel, natural playability, and inspiring sounds for drummers who demand more from their electronic kit. Centred around Yamaha’s advanced DTX-PRO sound module, the DTX6K3-X captures the energy and nuance of acoustic drumming while offering deep editing tools, multi-zone triggering, and a host of studio-quality effects. Whether you’re practising at home, recording in a studio, or performing live, the DTX6K3-X gives you the expressive control and sonic versatility you need.
The flagship configuration of the DTX6 Series, this kit features Yamaha’s 3-zone silicone snare pad, triple-zone cymbals, and a powerful kick pad — all designed to deliver authentic response and dynamic range.
DTX-PRO Module: Studio Power at Your Fingertips
At the heart of the DTX6K3-X lies the DTX-PRO module, built on Yamaha’s deep sampling expertise. Each drum and cymbal sound has been recorded in world-class studios with top engineers, then refined for maximum realism and dynamic expression.
The intuitive “Kit Modifier” controls make it easy to shape your sound in real time — adjust ambience, compression, and effects instantly using three dedicated knobs. For further detail, you can dive into the onboard editing menu to fine-tune every parameter, from tuning and damping to layering and reverb type.
With 40 preset kits and 200 user slots, the DTX-PRO offers an enormous sonic palette ready to match any style or genre.
Responsive Pads with Natural Feel
The DTX6K3-X features Yamaha’s renowned Textured Cellular Silicone (TCS) drum pads, offering an ultra-quiet and natural rebound that closely mimics acoustic heads. The 8-inch XP80 snare pad provides realistic stick feel and accurate positional sensing across the head and rim, while the tom pads deliver consistent response and quiet operation — perfect for late-night practice sessions.
The cymbals, including dual crashes and a triple-zone ride, respond dynamically to every touch, allowing authentic choke, edge, and bell techniques. A dedicated RHH135 real hi-hat controller mounts to your own hi-hat stand, completing the acoustic-style setup.
Studio Effects and Recording Power
With the DTX-PRO module, you get professional-quality onboard effects — including compressors, EQs, reverbs, and transient shaping — giving your kits a polished, mix-ready sound straight from the module.
Recording and playback are simple thanks to USB Audio/MIDI connectivity, allowing direct multi-channel recording into your DAW. You can also import WAV samples from USB memory to expand your library and build entirely custom kits.
Built for Practice, Performance, and Progress
Yamaha’s coaching features make it easy to refine your timing and control. The DTX6K3-X includes interactive training functions such as Groove Check, Fast Blast, and Rhythm Gate to help you measure and improve your playing precision.
Bluetooth audio streaming lets you jam with backing tracks from your phone or tablet, while the free Rec’n’Share app lets you record, edit, and share performances instantly.
