Reviews

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Yamaha XP120T 3-Zone 12" Electronic Drum Pad.

Features and functionality

  • The XP120T pad is three-zone capable, but the DTX Pro module only supports one zone due to its piezo/switch configuration.

    Source
  • The XP120T's form factor differs from the snare version, requiring a metal rod mount instead of a snare stand, though both are 3-zone pads.

    Source
  • The tuning knobs on discontinued XP100T and XP120T pads allow snare wire adjustments or tone changes without module controls.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Owners suggest reinforcing the DTX6 rack with DIY solutions like timber supports to prevent sagging when using heavier pads like the XP120T.

    Source
  • Using three layers of foam tiles under rugs effectively reduces vibration and noise, crucial for apartment settings.

    Source
  • Users can modify the DTX6 rack with joiners and tubes to customize the configuration, including removing the leftmost leg for better space accommodation.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Stereo-to-twin-mono cables can split tom inputs to use two single-zone pads, circumventing the DTX Pro module's limitation on older TCS pad rims.

    Source
  • Replacing original black rubber toms with used TCS pads enhances sound muting and rebound feel.

    Source
  • The RHH135 hi-hat is reported to work exceptionally well with the DTX Pro module after some setting adjustments, which can enhance the playing experience.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • The DTX Pro module does not support the tuning knob feature of older XP100 and XP120 pads, which was available in previous generation modules like the DTX900 and DTX700.

    Source

User experience

  • The lack of a silver trim on XP70 pads gives them a cheaper appearance despite their quality, leading some users to replace them with larger pads for aesthetic reasons.

    Source
  • Owners appreciate the muted sound and rebound of TCS pads, lamenting Yamaha's discontinuation of the 10" and 12" sizes.

    Source
  • Owners find Yamaha's TCS pads, such as those on the DTX6, more realistic and dynamic sounding compared to Roland's synthetic, more editable drum sounds.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Configuring the XP120T as a snare allows repurposing the original snare as a tom, optimizing kit layout without additional cost.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The XP100SD has a deeper profile than the XP100T, requiring a dedicated snare stand, unlike the rack-mounted XP pads.
