DTX402 Series
Preset Song
There are many different musical genres and rhythm styles throughout the world. We have selected ten songs for the DTX 402 Series from mainstream genres and essential techniques to help hone your drumming skills.
Drum Score & Instruction
We have prepared “Drum Score & Instruction” to allow even people who are trying out drums for the first time to start playing with ease. “Drum Score & Instruction” explains everything from basics such as playing form and how to hold the sticks to how to play the preset songs included in the tone generator module. With the help of Keiichi Nagata who supervised the making of these preset songs, we have compiled information that will help players learn a range of musical styles and drumming techniques. Practicing together with “DTX402 Touch,” a dedicated iOS/Android App for the DTX402 Series, will allow people to train in a more enjoyable, effective manner.
