Yamaha DTX400K Review & Price

The 400K is a great starter kit that offers expandability including the use of a KP65 kick pad, HH65 hi-hat controller, 3-zone DTX-PAD snare and a PCY90AT crash. The option to connect via a USB-MIDI jack to any computer allows for further customization and control over an already robust kit. Coming in at a price around $500, the DTX400K is the perfect kit for a drummer that wants to get serious about technical proficiency and practice.
