Examine the Uses and Benefits Relating to the Yamaha DD-65

By Latricia Clinton


There are several options to choose from when you have decided to pick a digital drum. Despite the fact that you may have a lot of money, it is best that you get your money's worth when you are buying an item. This is a complex task when you look at the numerous options that are before you. Therefore, it is best that you take a few things into consideration before you purchase your electronic drum kit. Take into consideration your experience, level of Skill, lifestyle and performing needs.

There are electronic drum sets and drum machines then, in between the two, there is Yamaha's DD-65 Digital Drum Pad. To a greater extent it can be considered an electronic drum set. I began using these electronic drums mainly because they are portable and can be taken anywhere, hassle free. I was not willing to get the usual five piece drum set and even worse, a miniature drum set. Then I found the perfect solution in Yamaha's digital drum pad DD-65.

The Yamaha DD-65 is very amazing because it weighs only about 20 lbs and is perfect for the standard snare stand. This drum is perfect for practicing and for beginners who desire to play the drums, but not so much for gigs in small clubs or playing in an arena.

Other features of the Yamaha DD-65 include its drum-like acoustic design, and its numerous connection options. With the acoustic drummer in mind, this drum set was designed with an intuitive layout which renders it quite simple for acoustic drummers to start playing like professionals in a very short period of time. It is very good for new drummers as it helps them to transition easily into the acoustic or full-blown kit. It also comes with stereo drum samples, aux input jack, and two hundred and fifty-four GM compatible voices that can be assigned to any pad. Furthermore, it has three customs kits and fifty programmed kits, along with its thirty-two note polyphony, its headphone jack, its reverb and master EQ, its one hundred songs that are built-in so that you can play along and learn from as well. Then there is the master and reverb EQ, and it can hold up to five songs that you want to put on yourself, eight pads that are touch-sensitive, and two foot switches that are also touch-sensitive. It also comes with MIDI connectivity as well as stereo speakers that are built-in.

As mentioned previously this is not considered a drum set for intended gig playing. To maximize its potential it should be used for practicing or if you want to have a jam session with friends outdoors. What I am not impressed with is the built-in speakers. They do not have a lot of power and you will not get a great sound. You will get a pinch of sound that is alright, but you will get better quality when it is plugged into a pair of amps or a set of power speakers in an effort to get sound and levels of volume that are impressive. All in all the digital drum pad by Yamaha DD-65 is perfect for practice and is good for a percussion student that has decided to learn how to play the drums.
