The DTX6K-X is built on a robust and stable DTX6K-X rack system, designed for easy setup and reliable performance. The open left side of the rack allows for comfortable placement of a hi-hat stand and double pedal. Beyond its exceptional sound and feel, the DTX-PRO module serves as a comprehensive training tool with a sophisticated programmable metronome, a recorder function to capture your performances, and 10 built-in training functions alongside 37 training songs to help drummers of all levels hone their skills. Connectivity is versatile, with USB Audio/MIDI for direct connection to computers and smart devices, MIDI Out, Aux In, and a high-quality headphone amplifier for immersive silent practice.
