Up until now, budding drummers who wanted to get into drumming faced the barriers of cost, and noise!
The Yamaha DTX500 electronic drum kit means there are no more excuses not to pick up the
sticks and play today! The DTX500 is an extremely high-quality beginner / intermediate electric kit that
will last a keen drummer well into his/her intermediate years - and beyond! What's more, it costs about
the same as an acoustic kit of similar standard, and all the drums, cymbals and hardware you need are
included so there are no difficult decisions and no extra budget required when it comes to cymbals,
for example.
The DTX500 has the stamp of Yamaha upon it, so you know you are getting a quality musical instrument
from a manufacturer who has years of experience catering for beginners and pros alike. Whilst there
are cheaper electronic drum kits available, the DTX500 is a solid choice if you want an instrument that is
still going to provide a great playing experience for years to come. Even as a drummer progresses,
the DTX500 will continually offer great response, a plethora of features to guide your practice and
jamming sessions, and a ruggedness that means the DTX500 will not feel flimsy under the
hits of even the hardest-hitting drummers.
