DTX6 Series
“A powerful, engaging drumming experience with compact convenience”
The DTX 6 series features the DTX-PRO module with the innovative KIT MODIFIER, sparking creativity and delivering superb performance in a compact configuration.
The original Yamaha TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) head used in the flagship models combine with real sound and ambience recorded in a world-renowned studio to provide an authentic playing experience.
The DTX6 Series is recommended for all drummers who want to have fun, play like a pro, need a compact kit, and hope to easily transfer their skills to acoustic drums.
Real sounds that drive the drummer
Real sounds that drive the drummer
No compromise has been made in recording the sound of the instruments themselves—key to any drum sound, along with the ambience of the place where they are played. The DTX PRO has been fine-tuned to follow the drummer’s performance and allow for maximum expression.
The acoustic drum sounds built into the DTX-PRO are all real sounds recorded in well-known studios. In addition, we have actual ambience elements that are unique to those studios.
A professional recording engineer has recorded and mixes performances by leading Yamaha artists, which the sound director, an electronic musical instrument development professional, has used extensively, from the initial attack until the very end of the recording.
With a sound module carefully matched to the pads that are the drummer’s interface with their instrument, the DTX6 has been fine-tuned to follow along with the player’s performance and offer excellent expressive capabilities.

The Kit Modifier featured on the DTX-PRO offers drummers limitless possibilities for their creativity.
Kit Modifier condenses the sound creation know-how that Yamaha has accumulated over decades into three knobs: AMBIENCE, COMPRESSION, and EFFECT. A wide range of tonal possibilities are available—from the natural sound of acoustic drums through to live performance sounds carefully crafted by engineers.
The AMBIENCE knob controls the reverberation of the drum sound; for an acoustic drum kit, up to 50% of the memory features the real ambience components of the recording studio, while 51-100% is high-quality digital reverb.
The COMP and EFFECT knobs utilize the "1 knob" control technology featured in Yamaha PA products.
COMP controls the compression effect and brings them to the front, while EFFECT controls effects that have been optimized for preset kits.
A playing experience in a class of its own

The DTX6 series is equipped with the TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) heads, providing unparalleled levels of feel and quietness.
Yamaha's original TCS head uses a foamed silicone material that contains innumerable air bubbles. With the perfect level of firmness and rebound that allows players to hit hard, TCS offers a natural, pleasant feel that inspires you to want to keep playing, and because the surface never loosens, every strike feels perfect.
In addition, a unique floating structure without any direct contact with the head and body parts prevents vibration from being transmitted elsewhere, while also improving sensitivity, and the air bubbles in the TCS head serve as a cushion to soften the stick sound.
Detailed reproduction of the drummer's performance
The DTX6 series uses a 3-zone pad for snare, crash, and ride. *The snare can be set to head, closed rim, and open rim, and the cymbal can be set to edge, bow, and cup. In addition, the cymbal pad can be choked or muted. This allows for a variety of performance techniques and lets drummers practice hitting spot where they get "that" sound with accuracy.
*DTX6K-X crash is a single zone pad
A more musical ride
The ride cymbal is compatible with the position sensing function. The high-definition long sampling cymbal sound featured in the DTX-PRO sound module is modeled in exquisite detail, and reproduced accurately when used in combination with more delicate cymbal work.
A kick that just makes you want to play more
The KP90 Kick Pad features Yamaha's unique multi-layer cushion structure that offers the perfect feel with unparalleled comfort, regardless of the strength of the stroke. The 7.5-inch pad is also suitable for use with a double foot pedal and has a wide stance with large anti-slip mechanism and spurs, ensuring a stable playing surface that stays in place
Set it and forget it
The newly designed RS6 rack system* gives you the freedom to set up as needed with a robust rack that you can set and forget. The left part of the rack is designed so that the hi-hat stand and a double pedal can be set freely, allowing stress-free performance. The acoustic-look L-shaped legs further improve stability and robustness.
* Adopted for DTX6K2-X and DTX6K3-X
Everything a drummer needs
The DTX PRO comes equipped with an abundance of terminals that support a wide range of applications. The USB terminal can send and receive MIDI, and also sends and receives audio data when connected directly to a computer or smart device, allowing you to send sound directly from the DTX to DAW software or a smart device. The unit also comes with a MIDI OUT terminal, allowing you to send MIDI signals to connected MIDI devices. Up to 14 pads can be connected to the trigger input terminals that can be connected individually, making it simple to create a hybrid setup with acoustic drums by connecting only those cables you need.
An App that makes recording, editing, and sharing easy
DTX-PRO is compatible with the iOS/Android App Rec’n’Share, allowing you to easily record or shoot a performance that is combined with audio data, then edit the recorded data, and share it on social media. After loading audio data on the App, you can add clicks, time stretch, A-B repeat and edit your video and audio right from the drum throne.
