The FGDP-30

Do you want to produce a proper rhythm without a drum set? The FGDP-30 is the ideal option! This device is a drum pad that you can work with your fingers. The pad contains a wide variety of different professionally sampled sounds, from acoustic drums to electronic sounds. Yamaha has made sure that in the factory settings the layout is divided in the most efficient way. They call this the 3-finger style, which means you can work the kick drum with your thumb, the hi-hat with your middle finger, and the snare with your index finger. However, you can change this and assign different purposes to the individual pads. The pads are also very nuanced, as you can, for example, choke the cymbal by holding the pad down with one finger and tapping it with another. The device has a rechargeable battery and can thus be used anywhere.
