Discount Yamaha DD65-K Digital Drum Machine with Touch-Sensitive Drum and Foot Pads Best Price

I also have to chip in – as that first review doesnt do it justice.

I got one for Xmas, I took lessons years when I was 15, now have kids and no space for a full kit.

I love it, the speaker is a bit dodgey, but sounds much better on headphones. Ive tried to put it thru my guitar amp, just sounds “dirty”.

I can see a slight problem with the Hi-Hat. The manual says it plays 32 sounds continously, but I sometime dont hear the hi-hat. Cymbals are very difficult to replicate – only professional Digital drum machines they dont even try and use real cymbals. Bass drum could be doing with a bit louder, and you have to make sure you have to try and hit the drums with each pressure – otherwise – say the your banging away on the hihat and snare on the same beat- if you hit the hi hat harder – sometimes the sensor for the snare thinks its just a vibration from the hit hand and doesnt sound. You can change the sensitivity thou – or just try to hit them with the same pressure. Only other thing – is dont buy it under the impression that you can just plug headphones in and not bother anyone else in the house – I did – They tell me is just sounds worse as can just hear rythmical banging – rather than an actual beat. (We do have a modest sizedl house thou)

Dont let this put you off thou, Ive had hours of fun with it – especially with plugging in my iPod and playing along. Theres lots of features that’ll keep you entertained. Very good for the price. If you want something to learn on and just have fun – this is it. Could do early gigging also with the write PA’s etc.
