Main Features
Designed for comfortable playing
Each of the drum pads are angled and positioned on the panel for optimum playability and comfort. The
pads and pedal 1 can be adjusted independently over four levels, allowing for expressive drumming—not
only with the supplied sticks, but also for playing with your hands, by simply setting it to Hand Percussion
mode (page 18).
Realistic drum sound – Stereo Sampling
You can choose and play with 570 Voices, which provide for a variety of percussion sounds, from realistic
drum sounds (created with Stereo Sampling) to ethnic percussion sound of Japanese drum, Asia, Latin
America and beyond.
75 Drum kits
The instrument contains 75 drum kits of different genres for you to choose from. Moreover, the Voices
can be assigned to each drum pads and pedals to create your own original drum kits.
105 Songs
The instrument features 22 Songs including the Demos, and 83 Patterns that cover a wide variety of
music genres. You can play along with the full playback, or mute tracks and play the missing parts.
AUX IN Jack
This jack is for connection to an external audio source, letting you play the instrument with music and
accompaniment.
Compatible Formats and Functions
GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that
support GM System Level.
XGlite
As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simplified version of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone generation format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator.
However, keep in mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original
data, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.
• Use the sticks with caution. Do not use
them for anything other than playing the
instrument. Also, to avoid damage or injury,
refrain from waving them recklessly or
throwing them.
• Since speakers are built into this instrument, you should be careful to never leave
any watches, credit cards or any kind of
magnetic storage media on the panel—
doing so may result in data loss or damage
to the items. Also avoid using this instrument near a television or computer monitor, since interference may result.

whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete
resources.
Using an AC Adaptor
Make sure that the [] (Standby/On) switch is off, then
connect the AC adaptor in the order shown in the illustration.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires C size, Alkaline (LR14)/Manganese (R14) batteries, or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride
batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH batteries are recommended
for this instrument, since other types may result in poorer
battery performance.
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off.
2 Open the battery compartment cover located on
the instrument’s bottom panel.
3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.
• Use only the specified AC adaptor (page 54). Using the
wrong AC adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
• When using the AC adaptor with a removable plug, make
sure to keep the plug attached to the AC adaptor. Using the
plug alone can cause electric shock or fire.
• Never touch the metallic section when attaching the plug.
To avoid electric shock, short circuit or damage, also be
careful that there is no dust between the AC adaptor and
plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet
you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn the power off and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
NOTE
• Follow the order shown above in reverse when disconnecting
the AC adaptor/power cord.
DD-75 Owner’s Manual

NOTE
About the Sensitivity Setting
For beginning percussionists, we recommend setting the sensitivity level higher, in order to
give a more consistent sound volume, even if the pads are hit weakly. For experienced percussionists, we recommend setting it to lower levels. The strength at which pads are hit is
reflected directly, and more intense power is required to make a larger sound.
• If the pedal sound volume is unstable, we recommend that you set the value to “P-F”.
• With an Electronic drum pad KP65 (sold separately) or Electronic kick unit KU100 (sold separately), the sound
volume might seem low. Try increasing the volume setting sensitivity value.
About the Pad Sound Mechanism
Each time you strike a pad, the sensor which is located at the bottom of the pad triggers an
electronic signal and makes a drum sound.
If you strike a pad too strongly, nearby sensors may also respond to the hit and trigger
unwanted sounds. This instrument is set to ignore weak signals from the pads in order to
prevent inadvertent, unwanted sounds. However, this may result in problems when intentionally striking two pads simultaneously. If one pad is struck strongly and the other weakly, the
pad struck weakly may not sound (even though you want it to).
To solve this, you can change the settings or alter your playing technique (as described
below).
Striking two pads simultaneously results in one of the pads not sounding.
Increase the pad sensitivity level. This may solve the problem if you strike one of the
pads weakly.
Better yet, take care to strike both pads with equal force.
Striking one pad results in other pads also sounding, even though they were not
struck.
Lower the pad sensitivity level. With this setting, pads that are not struck are effec-
tively kept from responding to strong hits on nearby pads.

There are many different types of drum score commercially available, but we’ve chosen the following common
format for the examples below.
The following is an actual rhythm pattern using the notation.

4 Beat
(song No.045)
In the notation above, eighth notes are to be played with a triplet feel (as shown in the notation below). For swing and shuffle rhythms, this straight notation is preferable to the triplet
indication since it is easier to read.
Shuffle (song No.034)
Play the above pattern with a swing feel.
