Yamaha DD65 Electronic Drum Set

Electronic Drums - Excellent

I have both an acoustic drum kit and the DD 65. I do a lot of recording and the electronic drum kit sound is almost like the acoustic and it is much easier to record. I like all of the the sounds except for the snare. But they Yamaha has different snare sounds so I changed the default to another snare sound that I like better. I have also used the kit with MT Power Drum Kit computer software and it works well too. Mt Power Drum Kit is free but you should make a donation for this great software tool.Read full review

YDD-60 / DD -65 it is almost a toy or maybe not quite

Out of the box it performs like a nice attempt at making a digital toy into pro equipment. It has the same bugs in it, Yamaha can't think of a way of improving the play surface and that's the toy side and what makes these things end up as dust collectors. It is no fun
trying to get the required fundamentals out of something that isn't capable of matching
the real thing. I took mine completely apart looking to solve all the problems and I finally
did. I found that replacing the small stock trigger sensors helped this thing a lot, the rest
was finding a solution to isolate the pads and still keep it in one piece. The pedals that it comes with should be thrown away. The HI-HAT is not so bad but you must get a KP-65
KICK TOWER AND DECENT PEDAL !!! I actually recorded with this thing and it sounds like real drums to some degree. Once you fix the bugs it is a rocking usable piece of music
equipment. It needs a pre amp out also it is weak in volume.Read full review

Works for us!

Haven’t explored it fully, but the DD65 is what i was hoping for - something to satisfy my young child’S desire for a drum set (while also being of good enough quality for me to play now and then when i want to mess around on drums. A real kit won’t fly in our apartment building unfortunately, and i’m not spending the $ for a legit e-drum kit, so this is the next best thing. Works for me, works for my boy!Read full review

Good, Nice Kits!

This thing sounds good for the price, the only thing is the kick drum volume is a little weak, alot weak, otherwise easy to use and straightforward, good sounds! 50 kits.

Perfect with upgraded pedals

Overall design is great. Only bad part is stock pedal, which is a foot switch. It's workable but could be perfect if went with full pedal like KP-65.

DRUM UP SOME AMAZING SOUNDS

A great little product.
The library of sounds & the quality are simply amazing.
What else would you expect from Yamaha?

Great for practice or the novice that wants to join in the band. So portable.

Sound quality is good but I think it could be better. We play thru an amplifier. Fun little machine

The versatility of this machine is amazing.

You can adjust almost anything that may come to your mind except the tension of the pads. But, you can do that using the electronics. You get a lot for your buck

A lot of good sounds for your money!

Nice little unit. has good sounding sounds. The drums that were sampled sound real. Many possible combinations assignable to any of the pads. For being as lightweight and portable as it is, it's a lot of possibilities for your money. A "Roland" thousands of dollars electric drum set-it's not, but it has surprisingly good sound and is fun to play.Read full review
