Yamaha FGDP-50 Finger Drum Pads

General

A more deluxe edition of the FGDP-30, the Yamaha FGDP-50 drum machine has been expanded by an extra eight RGB pads, a clear display screen and even more functionality. With this meatier version, more instruments or phrases can be imported from a USB stick and your performance can even be recorded and saved to a USB stick. Session Creator has been added, so you can now drum along to backing tracks that span various different genres, and that's alongside Note Repeat, which basically serves as a sort of drum arpeggiator - able to repeat notes and vary both the tempo and interval.

The Most Compact. The Most Mobile

Any armchair drummer or in-the-box producer's dream, the Yamaha FGDP-50 Finger Drum Pads literally put a full kit beneath your fingertips. Thanks to a built-in rechargeable battery and integrated speaker, this tight unit can be played everywhere and anywhere without the need for a power socket, meanwhile, the optimised layout of the control panel supports intuitive drumming - the kind of finger-tapping drumming you've been doing all your life.

The Ultimate Finger Drum Pads

The Yamaha FGDP-50 comes pre-loaded with a set of 48 presets that can be scrolled through and selected with ease, as well as a massive bank of 1500 samples that can be used to build your own custom drum kit from the ground up. Hook up this desktop-friendly hardware to a computer via USB and use it as a USB-MIDI controller for your own drum sounds and, so you can play through tracks and drum along, an AUX input has even been fitted. To fatten up the sound, the FGDP-50 can also be plugged into an active speaker, bypassing the built-in speaker or, for more private sessions, a headphone output has also been provided.
