Review: I love this thing - I am very impressed with the quality and variety (there's 120 snare drums!, timpani...) of the sounds. The ability to layer and modify sounds is very useful. The way I programmed mine, I am using it as a set without pedals. I programmed some of the pads (HH, Ride) to add a bass drum when I hit them harder, so I can play bass drum and HH/cymbal with one stick. The manual is not that great, but there are enough Youtube videos out there to get you started. I had a technical support question and they replied within 24 hours with a resolution to my issue. (FYI - to hook up your iPad follow steps 3-5 only on page 13 of the manual). The iPad app is great, except it keeps crashing (especially on saving---though I am able to re-open it and Save prior changes). I bought a small drum amp for the DTX and was unhappy with the sound, then got the Roland PM-100 80W amp which is great for practice and playing small rooms.
Review: Fantastic For Adding Live Drum Sounds - This Yamaha DTX Multi Pad is one of the better musical equipment purchases I've made in a long time. I read a lot of reviews of this and similar drum pads from other manufacturers and decided to drop the money on the Yamaha. Have to say I'm thoroughly impressed. The stock sounds are decent, although it lacks many natural sounding kits but with the user presets I was able to build several kits using samples I already own, such as Gretsch kit, Ludwig kit, Taiko drums and roto toms. I use this for recording natural sounding fills over top of programmed loops to give my recordings a more organic feel. The pads are very responsive play very precise. The unit itself is very sturdy and well built. All in all, this was a wonderful addition to my home studio. If it were lost or stolen, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again !

### ⭐⭐⭐ Great collection of sounds and instruments
*by S***P on June 23, 2017*

Great collection of sounds and instruments, but very poor manual. Very difficult to learn how to layer sounds, how to change rhythms and no instruction on how to use their software. Some tutorials are needed on U Tube by Yamaha, so people can make better use of this great sound machine, that is why I am giving 3 stars, Those who are not expert musicians, but have real interest in rhythmic sounds should be able to use this music box.
