OVERVIEW Limited edition electronic drum kit with the build of DTXTREME IIS and the brains of DTXTREME III. This exclusive Limited Edition DTXREME IIIS kit combines the drum rack and the drum and cymbal pads from the DTXtreme IIS kit with the upgraded DTXTREME IIIS module. Yamaha created the DTXTREME IIS Electronic Drum Set by parlaying their time-tested technology research with advanced drum manufacturing. This features 6 great-feeling drum pads and three cymbal pads, and a curved rack system. Soft, 3-zone rubber pads offer players the ultimate in performance comfort, natural feel, and rebound. Each pad includes an assignable controller for pitch, voice selection, or other parameters, while the snare pads can also assign strainer control. The hi-hat controller combines a real drum stand with an electronic pad for a traditional look and feel. Coming from a long and illustrious line of Yamaha electronic drum kits, the DTXTREME IIIS module features a brand new brain that's based upon 'Motif' AWM2 sounds. The DTXTREME III has an outstanding sampling capability (with optional memory installed) and a powerful sequencing engine. With USB MIDI on board, the DTXTREME III is not only a standout stand-alone instrument, it can function as the front-end of a complete music production system embracing live performance, rhythm training, music creation and studio recording. The DTXTREME's preset kits and voices are just the beginning.
