Learn information about the Rewards and Specifications Pertaining to the Yamaha DD-65

By Ralph Worley


Since the late 1960's, Yamaha has been creating drums. A number of professional drummers from all over the world use their drums. Their acoustic drums are among the best drums anyone can purchase as their quality and craftsmanship are excellent. More electronic instruments were being used by the early 1980's, as a number of electronic drums were being used in main stream music. When first introduced, electronic drums were not very attractive, were quite large, and they were not the best sounding either. The electronic drums these days are much different; as they are smaller, less heavy and proffer a wide range of sounds in a single kit. In fact, it is possible for just a single Yamaha electronic drum set to sound as if it were a number of different drum sets, and you get these sounds by simply touching a button.

The Yamaha DD-65 affords its owner that ability to practice and learn the drums with little amplification and this can be done with built-in speakers or headphones in a small space. However I am most fascinated by the MIDO controllers that are made possible when using the Yamaha DD-65 for the software drums. I am very eager begin playing the sample drums, instead of tapping or programming them on a trigger pad or a keyboard.

With the Yamaha DD-65 drum, this digital instrument has been created from the point of view of a drummer. This makes it much simpler for acoustic drummers to play the drum. This unit is self-contained; featuring eight pads that are touch-sensitive, speakers that are ported, 2 foot pedal inputs, as well as a secondary radio input that is used with a MP3 player as well as with other audio devices. In addition, the Yamaha DD-65 is General MIDI compatible, has a Flash ROM, and you are able to download songs from the internet to use them for lessons as well. This makes the DD-65 a great learning tool as well.

Other features of the Yamaha DD-65 include its drum-like acoustic design, and its numerous connection options. With the acoustic drummer in mind, this drum set was designed with an intuitive layout which renders it quite simple for acoustic drummers to start playing like professionals in a very short period of time. It is very good for new drummers as it helps them to transition easily into the acoustic or full-blown kit. It also comes with stereo drum samples, aux input jack, and two hundred and fifty-four GM compatible voices that can be assigned to any pad. Furthermore, it has three customs kits and fifty programmed kits, along with its thirty-two note polyphony, its headphone jack, its reverb and master EQ, its one hundred songs that are built-in so that you can play along and learn from as well. Then there is the master and reverb EQ, and it can hold up to five songs that you want to put on yourself, eight pads that are touch-sensitive, and two foot switches that are also touch-sensitive. It also comes with MIDI connectivity as well as stereo speakers that are built-in.

The Yamaha DD-65's multiple connection option involves the plugging in of the owner's MP# player of iPod. This allows you to listen to your preferred tracks, as well as to work your drum patterns over the recording of a friend. In addition, if you purchase a USB-MIDI interface, then you can send sounds straight to your computer so that you can record and edit them.
