Yamaha DTXpress Electronic Drum Kit

This drum kit has served me well for many years, it's so well made that I've never seen any wear on the rubber pads in that time.  The only exception is the bass drum pad which I replaced when the original became faulty.  I think it cost me around £30 - all the parts are freely available and fairly cheap on EBay.

In the time I've had the kit I went from keen amatuer to professional, then back again.  But now it just sits there doing nothing, so time to go.  I've used it to practice new ideas with bands, sample and trigger sounds when gigging, but most of all I used it to practice at home, using a PC / MP3 player and headphones.  This is where the kit excels because you can indendently control the volume of both the kit and the music you are listening to.  The kit is easy to use, flexible in the way it can be set up and strong enough to take a big hitter.  It also quiet enough to use in a bedroom of a terrace house or flat. 

It really is versatile enough to be used by either a first time player or a gigging pro.  If I still played I wouldn't be selling it.

Here is what you are bidding for:

• The brain - where all the samples and kits are stored.  Each pad can have a different sound assigned from the many kits, so you could turn the hi hat pedal into another bass drum, creating a double bass drum kit, for example.  I've created lots of kits over the years.
• Five single zone pads - I've arranged as one snare drum, one high hat and three toms
• Two cymbals - I've arranged as one crash and one ride
• Hi Hat pedal
• Bass drum controller and pedal (both included)
• Rack to hold it all together and all clamps
• All leads
• Sticks
• Stool - not shown in picture, but it's a study thing, not a cheap crappy one
• Headphones
• Lead to conect MP3 player / PC, so you can play along to your music
• Manuals / instruction
 
 

Due to size I won't post it, but I can be flexible in terms of picking up / delivery.  Any of these places are fine - Chislehurst, Bromley, Hayes, Purley, Croydon, Dartford and most places inbetween.  There is also a chance I could drop it off to south east London - please get in touch.  The kit breaks down to be easily transported and can be stored away in a house no problem - it's so light one person can easily carry it.
