Pads and Triggers
Compatible Products
You can use the DTXTREME IIs with any currently available
Yamaha pad products. Since each pad is designed for a
specific purpose and has its own specifications, you’ll need to
check which product is most suitable for connecting to a
specific DTXTREME IIs trigger input. When you purchase
additional pads for your kit, refer to the following table for
optimum compatibility.

DTXTREME IIs product brochure or your local Yamaha website.
Drum Pad (TP100/TP120SD)
A new series of drum pads that adopt a newly developed
rubber head. When used for the snare drum and toms, these
pads can produce real continuous tone change by three-zone
position sensing. These pads also employ a new pad controller
for adjusting the snare or tom tone (such as tuning) while
playing the kit.
Real Head Pad (RHP/KP series)
These pads feature a wooden drum shell made of plied birch
and mahogany, and a real drum head — just as on acoustic
drums. This series include three different pads for bass drum,
snare drum, and toms and designed especially for use with
Yamaha System Drums.
Rubber Pad (TP/PCY/KP/BP series)
Standard lineup of drum and trigger pads made of rubber
material. In addition to traditional dual and single trigger
pads (dual pads have a rim switch), several new pads with
three-zone position sensing feature are also available. These
pads are convenient for triggering pad songs or switching a
drum kit or song in chain play.
Hi-hat Controller (HH/RHH series)
Indispensable for subtle hi-hat work with a DTXTREME IIs
drum kit. Choose your favorite combination of the hi-hat
"pedal and cymbals," such as HH-series controller and TP-
series pad. You can even choose a real hi-hat stand (such as
Yamaha HS series) and an RHH130 pad with two zone
position sensing.
Drum Trigger (DT series)
These trigger pickups are designed for attaching to acoustic
drums, making them ideal for expanding the capabilities of
your acoustic drum kit with the DTXTREME IIs electronic
sounds. Each pickup can produce a single trigger. Keep in
mind that attaching two drum triggers to a single snare drum
will not produce the same effect as using a dual trigger pad.
