This kit comes with a Yamaha kick drum pedal. A great electronic kit for beginners and pros alike!
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.
The DTX 500 does not come with a stool, sticks or headphones. If you already have a drum kit, then chances are you'll have all these items anyway, but if you're starting from scratch you'll need to buy these extra bits in order to get going. Any stool, kick drum pedal, headphones & sticks will work with the DTX500, but here are some links to some of the basic options you might need.
