The DD75A is Yamaha's entry-level electronic drum kit, but it's packed with features that even more advanced drummers will enjoy. The kit comes with 570 built-in drum and percussion sounds, including 30 phrase and 75 preset drum kits. The DD75 has eight touch-sensitive pads to play on, and it includes a drum pedal and drumsticks, along with an aux in headphone jack so you can play along with your favorite songs. The kit's built-in speakers are surprisingly good for a drum set, and their volume is adjustable. The kit's overall sound quality is better than most entry-level kits, and its onboard effects can simulate guitar amps and guitar effects pedals. The DD75's biggest drawback is a lack of a metronome, but Yamaha includes one in the PA150 power supply. The kit's plastic construction is inexpensive, and it's portable, too. The DD75A might not be as good as Yamaha's top-end kits, but at this price, it's the best entry-level electronic drum kit we've seen.

The Yamaha TDP-173 electronic drum set is simple to use and incredibly fun to play. The heads, which are felt-covered, are soft and supple, providing plenty of rebound, and the pads are very responsive, making it easy to create different sounds and effects. The pads are large and the surfaces are smooth, so it's easy to get a natural feel for drumming. However, the pads are also quite loud, so there's a bit of bleed-through and echo, and it can be hard to hear yourself play. The built-in metronome is also quite loud. The sound quality of the built-in instruments (which include drum machines, synths, a clavinet, a keyboard, and guitar) is quite good, but they lack some of the depth and richness of the sound of other models. The included starter pack includes everything you need to get started, including drumsticks and headphones, and though it doesn't include a kick pedal (you can use your own), it includes a rack mount kit, so you can easily build a nice-looking drum kit. The module and rack are sold separately, though There's also a DTP-173 package that includes a DMR6 drum module and rack. The DMR6 is an easy-to-use module with 60 percussion and drum sounds, a metronome with tempo and count-in functions, eight drum triggers, and a master volume. It connects via USB to your computer, so you can record your drum performances or import them to your computer for further editing. The DMR6 also imports .wav files, so you can import audio files. The DMR6 has all necessary MIDI and audio connections, so it's easy to set up and use. The module and rack are sold separately. The Yamaha TDP-173 drum set is great fun, easy to use, and sounds great. It's appropriate for both beginners and experienced musicians, and it's a great choice if you're in the market for a great-sounding electronic drum kit that doesn't require much setup.

The Yamaha DTX452K drum set is an impressive kit for the money. It reproduces drum sounds from acoustic drums, cymbals, and percussion instruments very well, and it comes with 415 drum and percussion sounds (10 drum kits, 10 songs, and 10 training functions). The kit is fun to play, thanks to its responsive pads and drum pads and its customizable interface. The kit comes with 10 drum and percussion sounds, but comes with a free Yamaha DTX452K Touch or DTX452K Rec'n'Share app, which lets users download more sounds. The app is well-designed, and the app lets users record songs, add new sounds, and customize their settings. The app also lets users save their songs to their phone and export them to Facebook, SoundCloud, and YouTube. The kit comes with 10 drum kits, but users can download more drum kits from the Yamaha DTX452K Touch or DTX452K Rec'n'Share app (the apps also let users download new drum kits). The kit comes with 10 songs, but users can download more songs from the app as well. The kit comes with 10 training functions, but users can download more training functions from the app. The kit has 4-zone toms, 3-zone snare pads, and 3-zone cymbal pads, and its 3-zone snare pads have separate triggers for snare and top snare. The kit comes with a kick pedal and a bass pedal, but comes with a 4-zone mesh toms instead of the 3-zone mesh toms that come with the kit. The kit has a single-zone snare pad, but comes with two 3-zone mesh toms instead of a single 3-zone mesh tom.

The Yamaha EAD10 may be aimed at children (though it would also be appropriate as a practice pad for musicians of any age), but it's a lot of fun. The 2.4-inch circular sensor and stereo microphone are easy to set up, and although the sensitivity isn't as high or as responsive as other systems, it still makes a pretty accurate detection. The 50 preset scenes are a good mix of basic drum patterns (with varying intensities) and more advanced patterns, such as backbeats, rolls, and hi-hats. Most of the built-in patterns are pretty generic, but you can add and subtract beats, change the timing, and add overlapping patterns. The pads themselves are responsive but a bit weak, so you'll need a pad with a harder surface for louder hits. The EAD10's sound quality is not as good as the more expensive pads we tested, but it's good enough for basic practice. The EAD10 connects to iOS via Bluetooth, so you can use the iOS app to edit your tracks, and the EAD10's stereo microphone is much better than the built-in microphone on an iPad 2. It's easy to set up, and the EAD10's 2-hour battery life and USB charging cable make it ideal for on-the-go recording. The EAD10's iOS app isn't as robust as some others we tested, but you can add sections to your songs and create playlists. The app also lets you record a metronome track, and you can save and load your tracks to and from the app. The EAD10 is so much fun that it's almost addictive, and once you get into the groove, you'll be playing for hours.

Like the Roland TD-25M, the DTX6K-X electronic drum kit is a great fit for beginners, thanks to its intuitive setup, intuitive layout, and easy-to-use interface. For more experienced players, the DTX6K-X's software-driven drum kits are fun to play, and there's enough expression and control in the setup to make using them fun, too. The DTX6K-X features 40 preset kits, which can be played along with a variety of backing music. The kits are organized by genre, and include everything from rock to jazz to Spanish-language (Puerto Rican) music. Each kit has preset drum sounds, and in the kits with drum pads, each drum pad can be assigned to play a different sound. For example, you can assign the kick drum pad to play a snare drum sound, and the toms to play a ride cymbal sound.

The Yamaha MS45DR features a simple setup and is capable of producing impressive sound quality. The included cables make it simple to connect your monitors to a mixer, and you can also use the monitors as satellite speakers for a larger audio system. The 2.1-channel design gives you plenty of options, such as using a stereo pair for stereo sound, mixing the two channels together to create a 5.1-channel system, or sending one channel to headphones for silent practice. The MS45DR is loud enough for rehearsal situations, but it's best for practicing at home, as its high output can interfere with your neighbors' lives. Its two 15-inch speakers have high sensitivity and can generate a big sound, though their placement makes them susceptible to damage from accidental bumps. The speakers also don't swivel, so they're positioned to be in front of your drum kit, which limits their usefulness as a monitor for other instruments. The Yamaha is a good option for beginners, but more experienced players can find a better monitor system for their money.

Yamaha's new DMR6 electronic drum kit is as close to perfect as you can get. Not only does the DMR6 sound great, it's easy to use, and thanks to an onboard 8-channel mixer and onboard speakers, there's no need for a separate amp. The DMR6 features 20 drum and percussion pads that correspond to various toms, snares, cymbals, and bass drums. The module itself is compact, lightweight, and quiet, so you can take it on the road, and the included kick pad is wide enough to accommodate a double bass pedal. The pad features three main zones, and you can customize the sensitivity for each zone. The included hi-hat stand is sturdy and stable, and the module's stand adapter is a nice touch. The module comes with a guide that shows you how to set up and customize the kit, and it also includes a DVD with video tutorials.

The Yamaha DMR6 is a formidable electronic drum module. The sound quality is terrific, and the pre-mapped pads are very responsive. The preset kits cover all of the most popular genres, and you can edit any of the kits to create your own voice. The kit presets sound great right out of the box, but you can customize them further by editing the kit voices and tweaking the effects. If you're looking to record your own drum tracks, the DMR6 is capable of producing a huge sound. The kit also comes equipped with two AUX output jacks, allowing you to connect another Yamaha module to create your own setup. The DMR6 is also very affordable, and easy to carry around. The only complaint we have is that the manual doesn't cover all of the module's features.

The Yamaha DTX Multi Pad is a dual-foot-controlled pad controller that's perfect for playing virtual instruments or audio software. The 16 velocity-sensitive pads are laid out in a 6-by-8 grid, and after unpacking, the pads felt responsive and accurate, and they weren't sticky or uncomfortable. The pads have a solid feel, which made them more enjoyable to use than models with softer pads. The pads aren't backlit, which is a drawback, but Yamaha includes several RGB lighting modules, which are compact and easy to mount on the pads. The pads also feature velocity sensitivity, which can be adjusted using buttons on the controller. The controller includes 16 backlit buttons, a 16-key alphanumeric keypad, and 15 function buttons, which let you change the sound banks, adjust effects, and launch audio software such as Ableton Live. The controller has USB connectivity, which supports plug and play. The controller is lightweight and portable, and it's small enough to take on the go. The controller connects to Mac or Windows machines using a USB cable, and it's compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux. The controller is easy to set up, and Yamaha provides simple instructions for getting started. The controller comes with USB drivers, which are required. We tested the Yamaha DTX Multi Pad on Windows 10, and the pad controller worked well with audio software such as Ableton Live and Reason. The pad controller is versatile, and it's an affordable option for playing virtual instruments or audio software.
