DTX-PRO Module

200 custom user kits
Advanced users can use the DTX-PRO's 400 assignable voices to create custom kits for stage and studio. Want to blend electronic kick and snare with world percussion and acoustic cymbals? The DTX-PRO is your ticket to one-of-a-kind hybrid kits.
One-knob Kit Modifiers
The DTX-PRO's Kit Modifier section packs some extraordinary utility into just three knobs. You don't have to be a tone geek or electronics wizard to dial in custom sounds on this module. Just spin, set, and save.
- Ambience: this dial adjusts how "wet," or roomy, drums and cymbals sound in your virtual environment.
- Compression: drums really come alive with a shot of compression. A single Comp knob eliminates the need to worry about ratios, thresholds, and knees — just twist until it sounds good.
- Effect: this control delivers a diverse range of expression with the twist of a knob.

You get a sophisticated programmable metronome to rein in tricky fills, 37 training songs to workshop grooves and pocket, and 10 onboard training functions for sharpening your chops. There's even a record function so you can capture ideas and monitor your progress as you move along.
DTX6K3-X Pads and Stand
Expressive 3-zone TCS snare pad
The snare is the centerpiece of any drum kit, electronic or otherwise. At Sweetwater, we are happy to report that the Yamaha DTX6K3-X cuts no corners in this department. Its included XP80 pad gives you three separate zones for head strikes, rimshots, and cross-sticks. The Textured Cellular Silicone (TCS) playing surface is designed to feel like a real coated drumhead — only it's soft and easy on the joints, which is important when you're playing night after night. The XP80 snare is paired with a trio of single-zone TCS tom pads and Yamaha's KP90 kick tower for impressive expression across the kit.
Chokeable 3-zone cymbals
Equally impressive are the DTX6K3-X's included 3-zone PCY135 ride and crash cymbals. This PCY135s give you distinct edge/bow/bell zones to deliver lifelike cymbal response. For instance, you can choke the PCY135 after a crash by grabbing it anywhere on the edge of the pad. You can even mute a cymbal before striking it to create unique sonic textures. This creates an extra level of realism you don't get with many electronic drum kits.
Yamaha RS6 rack system
A solid kit requires a solid foundation. And that's why the Yamaha DTX6K3-X includes the RS6 rack stand for effortless setups and unflappable security. A right-hand-only wrap bar positions your second crash and module for maximum ergonomics. On the left-hand side, a void supplies plenty of open space for hi-hats, double pedals, and more.
Yamaha HS-650A hi-hat stand included
Yamaha is renowned for its trap set hardware. The DTX6K3-X includes Yamaha's lightweight, chain-drive HS-650A for a classic response underfoot. Just add a kick pedal and throne, and the Yamaha DTX6K3-X is ready to rock.
