Yamaha DD-65 Review
- Reviewed By Kayte Revitte
Since I'm not a drummer, I was a bit apprehensive about using the DD-65. But I got it out of the box, set it on my desk, hooked in the hi-hat and kick pedals, and was able to get started right away. Whether hitting the large round pads with my hands or using the included sticks, the very natural response made me want to keep playing.

The DD-65 provides a great way to learn or practice drums at a low volume (with headphones or the built-in speakers) in a compact space - perfect for apartment dwellers like me. What I'm really excited about is using the DD-65 as a MIDI controller for my software drums. I can't wait to actually play my sampled drums rather than just programming them or tapping them out on a keyboard or trigger pads. The DD-65 is a great value!

Our Customers Say...

“I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!”
