Who is your biggest enemy at home? Not so much your neighbors… how about your wife, your husband, your kids, your parents? All electronic drum kits are neighbor-friendly, but the newly formulated rubber pads on the DTXTREME IIS makes this kit family-friendly as well. The pad noise on the DTXTREME IIS is extremely low.

Unless you live in a palace, space is the other problem home-playing throws up and the DTXTREME IIS occupies a very tidy space for a pro kit—even when fully assembled. Plus it looks stylish and neat. You won’t have to worry about stray relatives knocking over your hi-hats or your kick drum slithering from one side of the living room to the other.

At home, you probably have access to your music on CD or MP3. The DTXTREME IIS’s AUX IN will let you patch in media players for practice or serious writing.

Finally, just because you may want to play and store your kit at home doesn’t mean you never go out to gigs. The DTXTREME IIS’s professional features, be it sampling, multiple kits, or output channels, can all be set up in the comfort of your home space—the results simply being accessed and re-called once you’re out of the house.
