Yamaha DD-55 Drumming

[TonySilva81]

My Pops bought me one of these like ten years ago when I was still living at the house. My set fell apart a couple of years before when we moved from Texas and he felt bad about it. I now have a nice acoustic set but late at night when the neighborhood is sleeping I still use it to bullshit.

[airsoftmegaman02072]

HOLY SH#T

[nibler25]

Got this in my room but howd u change the drums so the cymbal is on the third drum?!

[getsdhc]

sound like sepultura! :D

[jackblacklolol]

does this drum kit have a foot pedal for a bass drum

[Sherkriek]

I used to use this, really don't like it though.

The speakers on it just weren't great, like sometimes it wouldn't pick up the sound of hitting more than 1 pad at the same time. Little dodgy, still, you make it sound pretty good!

[ciallbey2]

i have the ydd60 its hard to play you play real well

[TheMustang2k]

honestly im thinking of take my dd55c apart and hot wiring the roland pads to the stock triggers...see if that works...because the set up is very annoying to play and i dont have the patience to change the drum pads around

[manixinam]

drum hero !

[RejectedRejects]

How much better is the DD-65 because Ive found one on ebay for £20 and im not sure whether to buy this or the more expensive DD-65?

[francisquito92]

GREAT, hey I would like to know if there's some way to have the sound of 2 bass drums? Like in heavy metal.. Thanks!

[rockerr12595]

does it have foot pedals?

[andrewandaustin]

for that price buy a real electric kit

[RejectedRejects]

@andrewandaustin For £50 wanker?

[andrewandaustin]

@RejectedRejects read the descriptcion dumass he said in beetween 275 and 300 dollars

[RejectedRejects]

@andrewandaustin Ideed wanker, I was saying how much they cost now

[andrewandaustin]

@RejectedRejects and learn how to spell fucknut



[RejectedRejects]

@andrewandaustin Oh alright faggot. I know how to spell. It's called a fucking TYPO!

[VinceG666]

Does anyone know where I can get replacement pedals for this model? If been searching forever and Yamaha website offers no help whatsoever.

[VinceG666]

Does anyone know where I can get replacement pedals for this model? I've search far and wide :P and Yamaha website provides no help on it.

[Thelildrummerboy11]

DD 65 so awesomer

[kykythebeast]

sick

[edward5839]

does it have the option to play double pedal bass?

[chdonncha]

i dunno u can get some decent 5 peice drum kits at 150 then buying this for 300 :S

[TheKmiell]

in defense of the dd55, it sounds 100 times better through the headphones or a nicer speaker system. there are also a lot of preset beats that you can practice your other instruments with. it's also the cheapest and easiest way to have 7 triggers and pads in one easy box. the hand percussion behaves nicely. drum kit? yea horrible. drum machine with 7 pads 2 pedals and midi? better. worth $100.

[donwilly]

this thing is not comparable with playing real drums. Buy a real drum kit and enjoy playing drums.

[Kingddd333]

@donwilly People want something that isn't 800 dollars just for drums, excluding cymbals, and you can adjust volume and it's small to store. Of course it's not comparable though

[TamirAsiag]

Good ShoW

[2Luke]

nice beat!

[Sbrff]

is this worth a buy?

and are the pads hard to hit?

[thebishop72]

I have this and use it for jamming when space or loudness are an issue. I bought mine used for $150 on craigslist.

What I find amazing: the variety of sounds.

What I find annoying: The response of the pads (they don't always sound off when struck around the edges) and the lack of volume. Tight formation of pads.

You can plug these into an amp or a good stereo via midi which solves the volume problem. If you just use the kits speakers, you hear the whack of the sticks with each sound.

Not bad

[djmon94]

@Sbrff if you are over 3 years you hit them.

[TheErnestocore]

@Sbrff PARECE SEPULTURO O UN GRUPO DE DEATH METAL

[bbward81]

I have bought the dd55 three years ago ... it ' s very funny to play !!! With it I do the same things that I do with an acoustic kit....

[1337mas7er]

I have a ydd-60 but I dont know where to learn drums lol

[starmanspr]

can you hook up your own bass pedal to it? like lets say a rock band pedal? or would you say the pedal is reactive and sturdy enough to not even need to be replaced?

[halo45121]

It comes with two, I think.

[NLind]

The RB pedal works with PEDAL 2 (the high hat) pedal but not with PEDAL 1 (the actual kick). I find the included pedals hard to work with, especially since I am a semi-pro drummer accustomed to normal pedals. But that's just me. I still like the -55 and use it for our church if we have a picnic.

[justincfc1]

yes theres a bass pedal and a hi-hat pedal .. if u get one hook it up to an amp ! sweeeeet !

[jordanairsoft]

is there a bass pedal? that you can play with ur foot. if there is im considering buying this

[potate1996]

nice!

[coralscott182]

I have the same one :)

[MusicRocker182]

Mg dude. You can get an okeii acoustic one for £159

[jaketerminate]

Nike 6.0's?

[prettyinglitters]

your really good.

can you do a tutorial

to learn!

[occultdestroyer]

How do you play the bass drums without the peds?

[VideoGamePlayer12]

nice, but you got ripped off I got mine on ebay barely used for $100.00

[1337mas7er]

I got a ydd-60 for 60 bucks! But yeah, he bought his years ago so you can't blame him.

[jakem4]

Eh, my Alesis kit didn't cost that much more than this.

... :S

[MassacreSound]

sir you riped that shit up! dam yo them other guys who use this machine an got fucks on you lol dam

[goodforumonkeyboy]

we have many diffrent kinds and there cool

and to mike them is cool too if someone else don't like them well thats ok too but we have them and real drums tama the best of both worlds

[Syn94]

this is pure bullshit i have one just like that and it glitches so fucking bad i cant stand it

[liquidflame22]

Well that's your fault.

[aeolus2k7]

Ha, good call. Mine lasted a long time before I had any problems, and the problems I did have were easily fixed.

[almostadu]

mine doesnt always register hits on the pads...mostly the snare and the hi-hat....do you know whats wrong or how i could possibly fix it

[aeolus2k7]

Try turning the sensitivity of the pads up to "2" (should tell you how to do this in the manual which is probably accessible online through yamaha's website)

[OnIineGames]

Wow nice

[T4lyf3]

im planig to get one

[almostadu]

nice....sounds like a mb drum cadence lol awsome!

[IPodTouchAppReveiws]

5/5 nice drummin man!

[Razor745]

Nice one

5 stars

[joshwaandosun]

wow thats great, how much did you pay for that?

[IdolsAndAnchorsX]

WOW.

great job!!

[Eariation]

i got 1 of these(idk if its the same model) 4 christmas MANY MANY years ago. i found it in the closet 10 minutes ago and just happened 2 stumble upon some youtube videos. lol

i'll start playin it, and when i get good, i'l buy an actual set.

[dkm10]

i want this now lol!

[Th3DrumMachin3]

i saw a kit just like tht in store tht i always go to for my drums

[mana244]

i live next to a store that selling it for $135 !

[aarongarza13]

i have the same dd55 its ok but i like an acostic set better

[cnqproductions]

awesome drummn. i am uneasy about buying one. is there a bass pedal and hihat

[baseballfan3614]

yeah their is.

[skating4shadows]

now that is wat i call fucking cool !!! xD

[buhrrito]

how much is one of these??

[SickWipeout]

I've got these drum sticks ^^ im buying the Steve Gadd Signiture Drum Sticks maybe today

[dkm10]

i've got the steve gadd signiture sticks & the buddy rich signiture.

[Mephistos100]

You're a good drummer, but I prefer acustic drums. ;-)

[aeolus2k7]

Thanks! I agree completely with you on that one. I prefer my pearl exr set any day, but before I had a set, this was a good way to get started.

[hateme666]

man i want one! lol

[cinqo7]

great!

[DoomedMediators]

hmm hit hat in the middle ? that wont do -_-

[ImAdmired]

nope. peddle for it.

[Wizzard777]

That sounds horrible. I'll stick to my acoustic.

[neaghdani1]

preety good im gettin a dd65

[mastahofdCube]

how much do you think one costs?thx

[Brackben]

can it work on batteries?

[aeolus2k7]

Yeah, I think it takes 6 C or D batteries. I can't remember which right now.

[glaxglax]

I have the dd-50 and it takes 6 C, so it's probably the same. Do you know what differences there are between teh 50 and the 55? Nice drumming by the way

[KiIIBill]

The difference between the 50 and the 55 is 5.

[THX1138inc]

that was brilliant

I only have the dd35 hopin to upgrade soon

[aeolus2k7]

Thanks. The DD-55 is a great way to learn the basics of playing drums.

[THX1138inc]

how much are they 285?

[aeolus2k7]

230 maybe? I can't remember what I paid for mine. Just look it up online. There are plenty of sellers and it'll give you a good idea on the pricing.

[edwardratboy]

hey dude do you know any good drum tab sites? easy learn simple things, stuff like that.

[aeolus2k7]

try mxtabs(dot)net/drum_tabs

there was a big lawsuit a while back over all the drum tab sites over copyright infringement and I guess everyone's worked out their problems because mxtabs seems to be back in business now.

[edwardratboy]

dude, i said easy. lol. anyway i cant view it cos i live in the uk :-( lol. any others??

[aeolus2k7]

maybe just try searching for drum tabs in your favorite search engine. you're bound to come up with more than a few results. let me know if you find anything.

[edwardratboy]

cool, i will. thanks dude

[aeolus2k7]

hey, anything to help out a fellow drummer (or an aspiring one)

[edwardratboy]

drummer-to-be

[edwardratboy]

wow.

[aeolus2k7]

Thanks, man.

[edwardratboy]

alie.

[zealofsoul]

wow how long did you learn? your drumming sounds great.

I just got this and since my floor is carpet the pedal just won't work for me (keeps moving around while I step on it)

I was wondering if you ever managed to use the pedal so it won't be moving around while you play.

[aeolus2k7]

I've been playing drum set for about 8 or 9 years now. This was recorded a few years ago. I now have an acoustic setup. Try placing your pedals up against something heavy (i.e. the box it came in) to keep them from sliding away from you. Thanks for watching!

[edwardratboy]

ye, blu-tac it to the floor :D

no lie it works

[candyapple257]

Wow, awesome job!

[aeolus2k7]

Thanks!

[IBREEL]

Great playing, but you're right.

The speakers don't do it justice.

It does sound good when you use the stereo output.

Checkout the video response I sent.

Keep Rockin!

Hank I-B-Reel!

[kirkhamster111]

i'm assuming on these that you can just change the hi hat control to a second bass pedal... btw i've seen ur vid, tres bonne!

[aeolus2k7]

Yes, you can change this to be used as a double bass setup very easily.

[Chrissk]

i have buy the DD65 im so interested when it comes to me ^^ at the next week

[aeolus2k7]

I had mine for about two or three years and then my guitarist plugged one of his pedals in through my power source and fried it. It no longer works. The pedals wear out eventually as well. Overall, it is an excellent way to learn to play, but it is not made for the gigging musician. It will last a long time if you take care of it.

[Chrissk]

hey good but bad sound

[aeolus2k7]

Thanks. The sound is bad just because it is hard to get good sound out of these little electronic drum machines. The speakers are not very high quality and my camera does not have a very good microphone.
