It is a compact 223 x 49 x 223 mm (8.8 x 1.9 x 8.8") and light at just 1 kg (2.2 lb), so you might don't take it seriously at first. But the Yamaha Finger Drum Pad FGDP-30 is a full-fledged musical instrument that allows you to express the most elementary and most ancient element of music – rhythm – in the simple way that you do it when listening to music: tapping your fingers. The difference is that this time, every finger corresponds to a different percussion instrument triggered by the drum pads/buttons on the FGDP-30!
Literally at your fingertips are 39 preset drum kits with real drum and cymbal sounds from Yamaha's DTX electronic drums series. The Yamaha Finger Drum Pad FGDP-30 gives you a click track with any tempo you want from 30 to 300 beats per minute and then lets you play it to your heart's content at a maximum polyphony of 64 notes and with more than four dozens effects (reverb, chorus, etc.) And enables listening through the speaker, your headphones, or another device via USB! If you've always wanted to play drums, this is definitely the way to start!
