Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the
following:

Power supply/AC adaptor

Water warning

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or
radiators. Also, do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,
or place heavy objects on it.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use the specified adaptor (page 64) only. Using the wrong adaptor can
result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which
may have accumulated on it.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or
wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or
glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any
liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power

1/2

The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
It emits unusual smells or smoke.
Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.

CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/AC adaptor

Location

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly
cause overheating in the outlet.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,
always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can
damage it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to
be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

Assembly
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly
process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence
might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.
• Do not place hands or feet under a foot switch or foot pedal. Doing so
could result in injury.
• Do not use the electronic drum kit’s rack to hold acoustic drums. Doing
so could cause clamps to break and the drums to fall off, which in turn
could lead to injury.
• Mind your fingers when adjusting clamps. Fingers can easily be caught
and crushed if care is not taken during this operation.
• Be careful with the tips of supports, arms, screws, and the like. Fingers
can easily be injured by sharp tips if these components are not handled
carefully.
• Do not sit or stand on the rack. Doing so could cause it to fall over or
break, possibly causing injury.
• Be careful with the holders for cymbal and tom pads as they have sharp
tips. In order to avoid injury, therefore, you should take special care
whenever handling these components.
• Be careful with the anti-slip stoppers on kick pads and foot pedals as
they have sharp tips. In order to avoid injury, therefore, you should take
special care whenever handling these components.
• Securely tighten fixing nuts and other fasteners. In addition, be sure to
immediately tighten any nuts that have come loose. If this precaution is
not observed, pads may fall off or the rack may collapse or fall over,
possibly causing injury.
• Take care when setting up cables. If anyone were to trip on a cable, the
instrument could topple over and cause injury.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
• The flooring material (wooden floor, etc.) may be damaged if the
instrument is placed directly on the floor. We recommend that you
place it on carpet or the like.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent
damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are
using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs,
immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the
outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still
flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using
the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from
the wall AC outlet.
• Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching it,
use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to
the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

Connections
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn
off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for
all components, set all volume levels to minimum.
• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels
and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to
set the desired listening level.

Handling caution
• Avoid contact with grease. Grease is applied to pedals as a lubricant,
which may attach to your clothes when carrying or setting up them.
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on
the panel. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to
the instrument or other property, or operational failure.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument,
and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of
time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing
in the ears, consult a physician.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the [

] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (all lamps are off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

socket or another electrical outlet.
WARNING
• Use the specified AC adaptor (page 64) only. Using
the wrong AC adaptor can result in damage to the
instrument or overheating.
• When using the AC adaptor with a removable plug,
make sure to keep the plug attached to the AC adaptor. Using the plug alone can cause electric shock or
fire.

You can connect a portable music player or another similar
source of audio to your drum module via the [AUX IN]
(auxiliary input) stereo mini-jack. This makes it possible
to play along with your favorite tunes.
NOTICE
• Whenever connecting other devices, ensure that the cables you
use have plugs that match the input or output connectors on
those devices.
• Before making connections, furthermore, you should also turn
the volume on the other devices fully down.
• When all connections have been made, use each device’s volume controller to balance its output with that of the drum module.

• Never touch the metallic section when attaching the
plug. To avoid electric shock, short circuit or damage, also be careful that there is no dust between the
AC adaptor and plug.

recommend, therefore, that you always turn off the drum module
manually when you are finished using it.
• If you expect the drum module to be inactive for a certain length
of time while connected to other audio equipment, we recommend that you turn the volume on the other equipment fully
down. Alternatively, you can disable the Auto Power-Off function
to ensure that the drum module stays on.
NOTE
• Settings for the Auto Power-Off function do not represent exact
times and there may be some variation.
• By default, the Auto Power-Off time is set to 30 minutes.

 Quickly disabling Auto Power-Off
NOTE
Connect the hi-hat controller before turning on the drum
module. Please do not turn the drum module on with the hihat controller depressed. The drum module can not identify
the type of pedal properly and it causes that the kick may
produce much smaller sound than expected.

sound.

You can depress the hi-hat controller’s pedal to create a
foot-close sound without having to strike the hi-hat pad.
NOTE
If using an HH40 Hi-hat Controller with the DTX402K, the
velocity is fixed regardless of how strongly or softly the hi-hat
controller’s pedal is depressed. For adjusting the fixed velocity value, see the description of the Foot Close Velocity
parameter from Menu Mode (page 47).

 Hi-hat splash
Depressing the hi-hat controller’s pedal and then immediately releasing it produces a hi-hat splash sound.

 Open rim shots
Hitting the open-rim zone produces an open rim-shot
sound.

Crash Cymbal

You can set the MIDI note number that is output when each

The Local Control parameter determines whether or not the
drum module’s internal tone generator will produce sounds
in response to playing of the pads or of songs. Normally,
this parameter is set to “On”, meaning that pads and songs
will generate sounds. When “Off” is selected, the tone generator is essentially disconnected from the pads and songs,
which will be unable to generate any sound. An “Off” setting can prove highly useful when you wish to record your
drum performances as MIDI data on a sequencer or using
DAW software.

Troubleshooting
Reference

Some problems may be solved by restoring the default settings (Factory Reset). If the following
instructions do not work, we recommend the Factory Reset (See page 22).

No sound is produced when a pad is struck, or the volume is lower than expected.
 Check connections as follows.
• Ensure that the pads are properly connected to the drum module’s trigger input jacks.
• Ensure that headphones or speaker are properly connected to the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack (not the [AUX IN]
jack) on the drum module.
• Ensure that the amplifier and/or speakers connected to the drum module are turned on and are not set to the lowest possible volume.
• If you are using a KP65 Kick Pad, try adjusting its Level dial.
• Ensure that the cables you are using are in good condition.
•

For DTX402K
Ensure that an HH40 Hi-hat Controller is properly connected to the [HI-HAT CTL] jack and a KU100 Kick Unit is
connected to the [KICK/PAD] jack on the drum module (page 57).

 Check the drum module’s settings as follows.
• Ensure that the drum module’s volume is not turned fully down. Also when directly inputting the volume with
numerical values by using the number buttons, try pressing the number buttons in rapid succession. (See page
41)
• Adjust the following parameters from Menu Mode.
- Pad Volume (See page 43)
- Gain (See page 50)
- Pad Velocity Curve (See page 48)
- Crosstalk (See page 49)
- Snare Pad Type (See page 49)
- Pedal Type (See page 50)
- Local Control (See page 45)
 If kick sounds are not produces as expected, try the following.
• Low notes may not be produced depending on the particular headphones you are using. If necessary, try different
headphones.
•

For DTX402K
If you are using a KU100 Kick Unit, connect an HH40 hi-hat controller before turning on the drum module. Please
do not turn the drum module on with the HH40 depressed. The drum module cannot identify the type of pedal
properly and it causes that the kick may produce much smaller sound than expected.

 If you cannot play foot closed hi-hat sounds, try the following.
• Ensure that you are operating the hi-hat controller in a firm and full manner.
• Ensure that the Double Bass Drum parameter from Menu Mode is set to “Off”. (See page 44)
• If you are using an HH65 Hi-hat Controller, set the Foot Close Position parameter from Menu Mode to a small
value. (See page 46)

DTX402K DTX432K DTX452K Owner’s Manual

Troubleshooting

Sounds or volumes are not as expected.
 If hi-hat splash sounds are not produced as expected, try the following.
• Adjust the Splash Sensitivity parameter from Menu Mode. (See page 46)
 If it is difficult to produce closed hi-hat sounds with an HH65 Hi-hat Controller, try the following.
• Adjust the Foot Close Position parameter from Menu Mode. (See page 46)
 If it is difficult to produce louder and quieter foot-closed hi-hat sounds, try the following.
• Ensure that the Pedal Type parameter from Menu Mode is set correctly. (See page 50)
•

For DTX402K
If you are using an HH40 Hi-hat Controller, the velocity is fixed regardless of how strongly or softly the HH40 is
depressed. Adjust the Foot Close Velocity parameter from Menu Mode. (See page 47)

 If pads are producing only sounds at very high volumes (i.e., high velocities), try the following.
• Adjust the sensitivity of the drum kit. (See page 26)
• Adjust the Gain parameter from Menu Mode. High settings will result in loud drum sounds. (See page 50)
• Adjust the Pad Velocity Curve parameter from Menu Mode. (See page 48)
• Ensure that you are using only the recommended Yamaha pads. (Products from other manufacturers can output
excessively large signals.)
 If the volumes of drum sounds produced by the various pads are poorly balanced, proceed as follows.
• Adjust the Pad Volume parameter from Menu Mode for each pad. (See page 43)
• Ensure that the Stereo/Mono parameter from Menu Mode is set correctly. (See page 55)
 If the drum module’s volume is not well balanced with that of the device connected to the [AUX IN] jack
(such as a portable music player), proceed as follows.
• Ensure that the volume of the connected device is set to a suitable level. (See page 21)
 If the volume of your drumming is not well balanced with that of a drum-module song, proceed as follows.
• Adjust the song volume. (See page 27)

If you notice double triggering, crosstalk, or skipped sounds (as described below), proceed as follows.
 Double triggering—i.e., multiple sounds are produced in response to a single strike:
• If the pad or drum trigger in question features a controller for adjusting output or sensitivity, turn it down.
• Ensure that the Pad Type parameter from Menu Mode is set correctly. (See page 49)
• Ensure that the Gain parameter from Menu Mode is not set too high. (See page 50)
 Crosstalk—i.e., a sound is produced by a pad other than the one that was struck:
• Adjust the following parameters from Menu Mode.
- Gain (See page 50)
- Minimum Level (See page 50)
- Crosstalk (See page 49)
 Skipped sounds—i.e., a pad does not produce a sound (usually during rolls or fills):
• Adjust the Crosstalk parameter from Menu Mode to a suitable level for each affected pad. (See page 49)

Coverage: YAMAHA will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, malfunctions or otherwise fails to conform with this
warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor or materials. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts

responsible for any installation or removal charges and for any initial shipping charges if the product(s) must be shipped for warranty service. However, YAMAHA will
pay the return shipping charges to any destination within the USA if the repairs are covered by the warranty. This warranty does not cover (a) damage, deterioration or
malfunction resulting from accident, negligence, misuse, abuse, improper installation or operation or failure to follow instructions according to the Owner’s Manual for
this product; any shipment of the product (claims must be presented to the carrier); repair or attempted repair by anyone other than YAMAHA or an authorized YAMAHA

attributable to power line surge or related electrical abnormalities, lightning damage or acts of God; or (f) RFI/EMI (Interference/noise) caused by improper grounding or
the improper use of either certified or uncertified equipment, if applicable. Any evidence of alteration, erasing or forgery of proof-of-purchase documents will cause this
warranty to be void. This warranty covers only the Original Owner and is not transferable.
In Order to Obtain Warranty Service: Warranty service will only be provided for defective products within the Warranted Area. Contact your local authorized YAMAHA
dealer who will advise you of the procedures to be followed. If this is not successful, contact YAMAHA at the address, telephone number or website shown below.
YAMAHA may request that you send the defective product to a local authorized YAMAHA Servicer or authorize return of the defective product to YAMAHA for repair. If
you are uncertain as to whether a dealer has been authorized by YAMAHA, please contact YAMAHA’s Service Department at the number shown below, or check
Yamaha’s website at http://usa.yamaha.com. Product(s) shipped for service should be packed securely and must be accompanied by a detailed explanation of the
problem(s) requiring service, together with the original or a machine reproduction of the bill of sale or other dated, proof-of-purchase document describing the product,
as evidence of warranty coverage. Should any product submitted for warranty service be found ineligible therefore, an estimate of repair cost will be furnished and the
repair will be accomplished only if requested by you and upon receipt of payment or acceptable arrangement for payment.
Limitation of Implied Warranties and Exclusion of Damages: ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE APPLICABLE PERIOD OF TIME SET FORTH ABOVE. YAMAHA SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR DAMAGES BASED UPON INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF USE, DAMAGE TO ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT OR OTHER
ITEMS AT THE SITE OF USE OR INTERRUPTION OF PERFORMANCES OR ANY CONSEQUENCES. YAMAHA’S LIABILITY FOR ANY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IS LIMITED TO
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE PRODUCT, AT YAMAHA’S OPTION. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS
OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. This
Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This is the only express warranty applicable to the product
specified herein; Yamaha neither assumes nor authorizes anyone to assume for it any other express warranty.
