Improved Design on Module

The new design of the DTX402 series module now has a flatter top and a simplified look with the function/name of training mode labelled with each button. This will save the time and efforts for beginners to navigate through the functions.

With the new upgraded Crash pad, drummers can now practice the Choke technique on the cymbal itself. This is definitely one improved playability that brings you close to playing on an actual cymbal.

Increased stability of rack

The new models feature a sturdier design which improved the stability of the rack. Drummers can now confidently jam on the snare pad without the worry that the pad might fall off. Height for toms and cymbals can be adjusted easily to suit the drummer’s preference.

Tips: The pre-assembled package rack now make it much easier for beginners to set up the DTX on their own! Simply attach the pads and you are ready to jam.
