Our Verdict:

Even if you are into acoustic drum kits, you will still consider the Yamaha DTXplorer a fantastic piece of percussion hardware. Playing and recording flexibility come built into this set and makes it worth every penny you pay for, and even more. Recording with an electronic drum set is easy, you can pick up the exact sounds without having to sync it as you would an acoustic type.

Although you cannot exactly replicate acoustic output, the Yamaha DTXplorer is definitely a valid substitute, especially for the beginner or for those who have limited space for a full acoustic set up. Whats great about these electronic drum kits is that you can use it anytime of the day without having to disturb your neighbors. The Yamaha DTXplorer is a great drumming companion, especially if you are looking into learning and practicing functionality and features.
