Yamaha launches UK electronic drum roadshow

Yamaha Music Europe (UK) is demonstrating its electronic drum range and showcasing new products for 2015 with a series of events throughout the UK in November and December.

Led by Yamaha UK’s DTX Demonstrator Simon Edgoose, the sessions are aimed at providing an overview of the full potential of Yamaha’s DTX electronic drum range including the new DTX582 kit, DTXM-12 Multi Pad drum machine and the apps for iOS devices. 

Simon has been playing professionally since he moved to London at 18, working in many different areas of the music industry from being a member of various signed bands, a first call session player or offering technical support for some of the biggest drummers around. He is highly experienced in electronic percussion and as such has been involved with Yamaha’s R&D team in London supporting many new product designs and creating voice content exclusively for Yamaha and offering technical support.

During the one hour sessions he will highlight all of the new features with performances and advice, then hands on sessions are available with personal one to one advice from the drummer. The sessions are suitable for all levels of drummers, those who already play Yamaha or those who do not, those who are already use electronic drums or those who are considering. 

Booking space to this event is essential, to secure your place call the store number attached to the location you want to attend.

At the heart of the new DTX502 Series is the all-new, redesigned, re-engineered, and re-voiced DTX502 Drum Trigger Module, which delivers brand new rock, jazz and electronic kits and include real Yamaha Acoustic Drum Samples. USB connectivity allows it to be easily interfaced with computers, apps and its internal memory can store samples or songs from Yamaha Music Soft. Complementing the DTX502 series are the pads themselves either the DTX Pads or the newly designed rubber pads both designed to provide a soft feel and wider dynamic range.
