DTX Drum Sets

ΩOMEGAΩ · 11-09-2007, 06:06 AM

I was thinking about getting a DTX drum set to play on Drummania. and since I am in a rush right now, I am going to ask, what will I ned to hook it up to the PS2 besides the PS2, and drum set.

ok, I gotta go!

The Yamaha midi -> USB converter.

More specifically, it's called a Yamaha UX-16. Just make sure to doublecheck which version of DM you're trying to play with it, because the older games may not work with certain drumkits.

UX-16 does NOT work with drummania, or GF3/DM2 Mix home version
it will work on Gitadora! GF4/DM3 and above

ok, now lets see if I can get one for cheap (not going to happen...).

You may want to note that NO USB drum set, Yamaha or no will work with DrumMania 1st Mix or GF3rd & DM2nd, as there's no support for USB kits at all. GitaDora! GF4DM3 was when they added that option for USB drums.

UX-16s will run you about $40 shipped new
you may find it a bit cheaper used

DTX = Waste of Money unless you actually plan on drumming.

Wait for a Dao

^ I plan on learning to drum though, so its like a double deal for me.

ΩOMEGAΩ · 11-12-2007, 09:48 PM

does it mater what model it is (I, II, III, IV), and does it mater what trigger module it comes with?

just buy e cheapest dtxpress/dtxplorer u can find. (be wary of quality if u buy it off ebay though)

e higher versions have more samples and region-specific sections (make different sounds on different parts of a single pad). they are used more often in live band / concert situations if im not wrong.

ok, so just find a cheap one, as in it does not matter.

if you plan on really playing drums
i would advice against a DTXplorer
its great for the purpose of Drummania but single hit zones and the limited samples (compared to the DTXPress II and III) will only limit you in playing drums with any real dynamics

I'm also thinking about getting DTX drumset and I plan on actually drumming so I was wondering if I can't find a DTXPress II or III would the DTXPlorer be ok for like a beginner drumset that I could replace when I got better

DTXplorer is best for e game only, due to its limited options.

DTXpress series is more all rounded. can be used for live playing as well.
