Yamaha DTX402K

Yamaha's most affordable compact DTX starter kit.

Yamaha Full kit

The Yamaha DTX402K is the entry point to Yamaha's compact electronic drum lineup, using rubber pads, a beaterless kick controller, a compact rack, and the DTX402 module. It is quiet and inexpensive, but the lack of a real kick tower and all-rubber playing surfaces make it best for absolute beginners or young students rather than long-term technique work.

Value

Useful as a low-cost Yamaha starter kit, but the beaterless kick switch and rubber pads limit realism compared with the DTX432K or mesh-equipped rivals.
