48 Factory and 32 User Kits

Play along with the 95 preset songs or your favorite music
There are 95 songs covering many musical styles that are great for developing your ability to play in any musical situation. Play along with the prerecorded drum track, or mute the drums and play along with the rhythm and melody tracks. This is a great tool for developing your groove and the nuances of playing different musical styles. You can plug your MP3 or CD player into the auxiliary input and play along with your favorite prerecorded music. You can also record your playing with the internal sequencer to analyze your playing.

New Round Cymbal Pads
The DXPIIISP has our all-new round cymbal pads. The 3 zone PCY150S ride, 2 zone PCY130S and single zone PCY130 crashes and RHH130 hi-hat pad give you the freedom to express your musical ideas even better than before. The PCY150S ride gives you the bell, bow, and edge sounds making the ride respond to every nuance of your playing. The crashes give you access to three cymbal sounds at a time and the PCY130S has choking capability. The RHH130 mounts to a standard hi-hat stand (included) giving you the expression of a real hi-hat. Heel splashes and hi-hat "barks" are as natural as they are on a pair of acoustic hi-hat cymbals.

Snake Cable
The DXPIIISP kit comes with a stereo snake cable with labeled jacks. This makes it easier to hook everything up out of the box, and faster to hook it all up again if you are moving the kit to gigs or recording sessions.

Folds up for compact storage
The DXPIIISP kit is mounted on a compact drum rack so it won't take up a lot of space when you are playing. When not in use the kit folds flat for storage in a closet without having to disassemble the rack or remove the pads.

Groove Check
Engage the Groove Check feature while using the click or while playing a song and DXPIIISP will show your beat placement accuracy. It indicates if you are ahead of, behind, or right on the beat and shows any fluctuation in your playing accuracy.

Three Zone Snare Pad
The TP65S three zone pad gives you the snare, rim shot, and cross stick sound all from the same pad. This allows for a performance that is very much like playing on an acoustic snare drum.

MIDI IN/OUT, TO Host Jacks
You can access the 125 General MIDI voices from a controller or transmit other MIDI information between the DXPIIISP and any other MIDI device via the MIDI IN/OUT. You can transmit MIDI data to and from your computer via the TO HOST jack to store kits or sequences on your computer.
