An upgraded electronic drum kit with an advanced high-tech brain.

Coming from a long and illustrious line of Yamaha electronic drum kits, the DTXTREME IIIS features an upgraded brain that's based upon 'Motif' AWM2 sounds. The DTXTREME IIIS is configured with 5 drum pads, 2 cymbal pads, and the DTXTREME IIIS module, mounted on the standard model rack.

The DTXTREME III has an outstanding sampling capability (with optional memory installed) and a powerful sequencing engine. With USB MIDI on board, the DTXTREME III is not only a standout stand-alone instrument, it can function as the front end of a complete music production system embracing live performance, rhythm training, music creation and studio recording. The DTXTREME III preset kits and voices are just the beginning. You also have full WAV/AIFF sampling capability that lets you store your own sounds and compile your own kits, and a MIDI sequencer to drive new beats.
