Affordable 5-piece electronic drum set
The 5-piece DTXPLORER kit includes high-impact rubber pads with natural feel and rebound, mounted on a sturdy folding ribbed rack. In addition, the DTXPLORER kit also features an FP-6110 bass drum pedal and coded cabling snake for quick and easy setup.

Amazingly realistic sounds from tone module
At the heart of the DTXPLORER is a compact drum trigger module, equipped with a 16-bit/32-note polyphony tone generator that produces amazingly realistic, physically modeled voices - 214 drum and percussion sounds, 22 preset songs and 32 preset drum kits covering rock, funk, jazz, reggae and Latin styles-plus a selection of digital onboard effects.

Top notch sounds and feel

by Mike B from Virginia

Music Background: Hobbyist
This is one heck of a set for the pricepoint. I hooked my set up to a Yamaha Motif ES keyboard via midi and now have endless drum sounds, I also trigger samples. The set is solidly built, and is repon... read more [+]sive for the $ you pay. I've had mine for 10 months and its great.The only thing I hate about this set is the cheezy looking pizza-styled cymbals. close [-]

One of the best things to mess around with

I used to have one of those old school yamaha electronic drum sets that was all together and this is set up like a real drum set that sounds just the same. Great thing is I can plug in my ipod and equ... read more [+]al out the noise on the drums to play along. This set is worth the price. close [-]

Good value

Music Background:
Well, where the DTXplorer beats the competition in the entry level E-drum market is in the editing. The Roland V-3 kit may have great sounds, but you cannot even so much as tune the drums voices, no p... read more [+]itch control whatsoever! The stock sounds on the DTX are good for the most part, I used to own a DTXpress 3 special and feel as though the acoustic drums sounds of the DTXplorer are just as good, just not as many. You can't do cymbal chokes, all pads are single zone (though you can upgrade the snare to a 80-s pad and get snare/rim dual triggers), the triangle cymbal pads are cheesy, but overall I'd take this kit over the Roland T3 simply for the editing. Being able to edit the pitch of the drum samples trumps anything the T3 has to offer imo. close [-]
