• The brain
  
• Realistic and responsive playing surfaces
  
• Sturdy, lightweight, and dependable hardware

The brain
The DTXTREME III drum module provides the "brains" of the operation, giving you over 1,000 onboard drum, percussion, and special effect voices. Using the same technology used in Yamaha's MOTIF XS synth, the DTXTREME III module also includes over 100 General MIDI voices and includes an internal sequencer. You can even install optional memory for sampling capability! Working in concert with the DTXTREME III Standard kit's 3-zone drum and cymbal pads, the USB-equipped module gives you the flexibility and functionality you need to take your drumming and creativity to the next level!

Realistic and responsive playing surfaces
The DTXTREMEIII Special kit includes the TP120SD three-zone snare pad, four TP100 three-zone tom pads, two PCY135 three-zone cymbal pads, a PCY155 three-zone ride cymbal pad, the RHH135 hi hat, and the updated KP125 kick drum trigger. The snare and tom pads have the onboard controller knob that allows trigger adjustment on the fly. You can adjust snare tension, or the pitch, voice assignment, song/click tempo, filter on the snare or toms. The new cymbal pads choke when you grab the edge, respond to the lightest touch, and feel great. The RHH135 attaches to the included hi hat stand using a modified clutch. The cymbal goes up and down like an acoustic hi hat cymbal, and is pressure sensitive so the pitch changes when the pedal is pushed. The KP125 has a large playing surface that feels like an acoustic drum, and easily accommodates a double pedal. The spurs on the new kick trigger hold the pad securely in place, even under the hardest playing.playing.

Sturdy, lightweight, and dependable hardware
The DXTIIISP includes Yamaha's revolutionary Hexrack featuring hexagonal tubing and tom clamps that rotate on a synthetic ball. The company originally developed this rack system for use with their acoustic drums, so it is more than sturdy enough to handle duty with an electronic drum set. The clamps allow minute angle adjustments so the pad placement wherever you choose is easy. The kit also includes the updated 700 series SS-740A snare stand, HS-740A hi hat stand, a CH-750 and two CH755 cymbal booms. There are five different accessory clamps and three curved rack tubes available to allow you to customize your kit.
