Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from
electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to,
the following:
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or
radiators. Also, do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,
or place heavy objects on it.
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Use the specified adaptor (page 88) only. Using the wrong adaptor can
result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which
may have accumulated on it.
This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the
instrument or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components
in any way. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use
immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service
personnel.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses)
containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such
as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item
may fall over and cause a fire.
When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the
power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then have
the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel.
- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
- It emits unusual smells or smoke.
- Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or
damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-
connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always
hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be
used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent
damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.
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 off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even
when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the
product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a
long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the
stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling
over.

Striking the Drum Pads
When using a three-zone snare pad such as the XP80, you can produce three distinct sounds (i.e., head, open rim, and closed rim) depend-
ing on where you strike it, much the same as if you were playing an acoustic snare.
Head shots
Striking the main surface of the pad produces a head shot
sound.

Striking the open-rim zone produces an open rim-shot
sound.

When using a two-zone hi-hat pad such as the RHH135, you can produce a number of distinct sounds, much the same as if you were play-
ing an acoustic hi-hat cymbal.
Open and closed sounds
• You can produce an open hi-hat sound by striking the hi-
hat pad with the hi-hat controller’s pedal not depressed.
• You can produce a closed hi-hat sound by striking the hi-
hat pad with the hi-hat controller’s pedal depressed.
Using a hi-hat pedal, you can recreate the sound of a clos-
ing hi-hat.
Bow shots
Striking the main surface of the hi-hat pad (i.e., the bow
section located between the cup and edge) produces a bow
shot sound.
Edge shots
Striking the outside edge of the hi-hat pad produces an
edge shot sound.
Foot-close sounds
You can depress the hi-hat controller’s pedal to create a
foot-close sound without having to strike the hi-hat pad.
Hi-hat splash sounds
Depressing the hi-hat controller’s pedal and then immedi-
ately releasing it produces a hi-hat splash sound.
Cup shots (PCY100 only)
When using a PCY100 as your hi-hat, you can produce a
cut shot sound by striking the cup section of the pad.
In order to do so, you will need to set the cup switch (CUP
SW) on the rear of the pad to the ON position.

Selecting & Playing a Kit
In terms of the DTX502, a “kit” is a full set of drum-sound assignments for all of the pads. Your
drum module comes with 50 different drum and percussion kits already set up.
1.
Press the [KIT] button to access the Kit area.
Verify that “KIT1” is displayed at the top-left of the screen.
2.
Turn the Data Dial to select a different kit.
3.
Play the pads and see how the kit sounds.
A pad’s sensitivity determines how the loudness (or power) of its drum sounds changes depending
on how hard you strike it. You can adjust the sensitivity of all pads as follows to make them more
accurately reflect the dynamics of your drumming.
Hold down the [KIT] button and press either the VOLUME [+]
or [–] button.
Pressing the VOLUME [+] button increases the gain setting, making all of the pads more
sensitive. This means that louder sounds can be more easily produced with softer drumming.
Pressing the VOLUME [–] button decreases the gain setting, making all of the pads less sen-
sitive. This means that louder sounds can only be produced by drumming hard.
If necessary, you can change the volumes of individual instruments (page 20). For example, you
may need to lower the volume of the kick while increasing the volume of the snare. For details on
how to do so, see the description of the Mixer settings page from Menu Mode (page 57).

Building Your Own Unique Kits
It’s easy to build your own unique drum kits with the DTX502—simply change the drum sounds
assigned to the individual pads on pages KIT2 to KIT6 as described below.
To edit a kit, you must first carry out the following two steps.
1. Press the [KIT] button to access the Kit area.
2. Turn the Data Dial to select the kit you wish to edit.
The changes that can be made on each of pages KIT2 to KIT6 are described below.
NOTE
The KIT1 page is used only for selecting different kits.
When any of a kit’s parameters have been changed but not yet saved, an
asterisk (*) will appear beside the page name at the top-left of the screen. The
asterisk will disappear when you save your settings. (See page 25.)
If you select another kit without saving your changes, they will be lost.
Voices, instruments, and kits
Pads such as the snare, hi-hat, and cymbals (pages 16 to 18) have
been designed to trigger different voices (or sounds) depending on
the zone of the pad that is struck (see Input Sources on page 29). In
terms of the DTX502, an “instrument” is a collection of the voices
assigned to the various zones of a specific pad. A kit comprises a full
set of instruments—one for each pad.

•Timer
To open the CLK1 page, hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [ ] button.
The term “click set” is used to describe a collection of metronome settings. You can customize
these click sets as necessary, and your DTX502 can store up to 30 of them. The following
describes how to recall a previously stored click set.
1.
Move the cursor to the click set number using the [<]/
[>] buttons.
2.
Turn the Data Dial to choose a click set.
Click sets are numbered 1 to 30.
Whenever you change metronome parameters as described on the following pages, it is wise to
store them. Details on how to do so can be found in Storing a Customized Click Set (page 37).
When any of a click set’s parameters have been changed but not yet stored,
an asterisk (*) will appear beside the page name at the top-left of the screen.
The asterisk will disappear when you store your settings. (See page 37.)

Storing your settings
If you change a parameter setting in the KitVoice area, the Kit-
Common area, the KitJob area, or on one of pages TRG2 to
TRG12 from the Trigger area, you will need to store the new
setting in the drum module’s internal memory as described
below.
Procedure
As an example, the following describes how to store modified
trigger settings. Note that trigger settings are stored as part of
a User trigger setup. Meanwhile, settings from the KitVoice,
KitCommon, and KitJob areas are stored as part of one of the
User kits, which are numbered 51 to 100 (page 25).
1. After changing trigger parameter settings, press the
[SAVE/ENTER] button.
The page for storing trigger setup data will be displayed.
2. Turn the Data Dial to select the User trigger setup (15 to
30) in which you wish to store your settings.
3. To rename the trigger setup, move the cursor using the
[<]/[>] buttons and turn the Data Dial to change the
selected character.
4. Press the [SAVE/ENTER] button once again.
Yo u will be asked to confirm that you wish to store your
settings.
5. Press the [SAVE/ENTER] button to store your settings.
To cancel the process without storing any settings, press
the [ ] button.
6. When your settings have been successfully stored, the
message “Completed.will be displayed.
NOTE
If you switch to another kit or trigger setup or turn off the drum
module without storing your new settings, the parameters in
question will revert to their previously stored settings.

q Trigger input

w Crosstalk
The term “crosstalk” refers to the output of spurious trigger
signals from a pad other than the one that was struck as a
result of vibration or interference between pads. Use this
parameter to specify a level for preventing crosstalk from the
pads set on the Crosstalk Pads page (TRG11). If the level of
the trigger signal from the pad indicated by q is lower than
this level whenever one of those pads is struck, it will be
treated as crosstalk and no sound will be produced. Although
higher setting values are more effective in preventing cross-
talk, they can also make it difficult to play softly on multiple
pads at the same time.

eliminated if snare sounds were unintentionally pro-
duced when toms 1 and 2 were played.
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [SAVE/
ENTER] button to access Menu Mode. Select the
Trigger area (06:Trigger) and navigate to the Cross-
talk page (TRG10).
2. Strike the snare pad to select it for crosstalk elimi-
nation.
3. Move to the Crosstalk Pads page (TRG11) using the
[<]/[>] button and select (
) T1 and T2 as the
pads causing crosstalk in the snare. The setting
made in Step 4 below will now be applied to trig-
ger signals from pads T1 and T2.
4. Move back to the Crosstalk page (TRG10) using the
[<] button. Play pads T1 and T2 to determine the
level of trigger signal they produce in the snare,
and set the Crosstalk parameter to this level.
5. Verify that pads T1 and T2 no longer produce
crosstalk in the snare. If necessary, store your set-
tings (page 56).

Integrating Electronic & Acoustic Drums
The following describes a couple of examples of how you can integrate electronic and acoustic
drums.
By attaching a CSAT924A Cymbal Stand Attachment and a drum
holder to the cymbal stand from an acoustic drum kit, you can
easily add an electronic drum pad such as the TP70, XP70, or
XP80 to that kit. The following diagram shows a typical example
of how the various components can be set up. When assembled,
remember to set the Pad Type parameter (page 68) to match the
drum pad being used.
You can attach a DT10 or DT20 Drum Trigger to the head or shell
of an acoustic drum to send a trigger signal to your drum module
whenever the drum is struck.
If connecting an acoustic drum via a DT10 or DT20 Drum Trig-
ger in this way, choose the appropriate DT10/DT20 setting for the
Pad Type parameter. See page 68 for more details.

•Ensure that the drum trigger makes contact only with the
drum.
If a pad controller does not work as expected, try the fol-
lowing.
•Ensure that you are using a pad featuring a pad controller.
•Ensure that the parameter on the Pad Control page (KitC5)
from Menu Mode is set appropriately. (See page 62.)
•Avoid holding the rim while operating the pad controller as
this can prevent it from working properly.
Other common questions
How do I make the drum module store its settings?
The drum module automatically stores its system settings
whenever you turn it off using the [ ] (Standby/On) button.
Do not turn off the drum module by unplugging the power
adaptor: It will not be able to store its system settings in such
a case.
User settings for kits, click sets, and triggers must be stored
manually. (See pages 25, 37, and 56.)
How do I reset all of the drum module’s parameters to their
default settings?
Use the function on the Factory Set page (System10) from
Menu Mode to restore the default settings. (See page 75.)
How do I reset all of the drum module’s parameters to the
settings they had when I last turned it on?
Use the function on the Restore page (System9) from Menu
Mode. (See page 75.)
How do I stop the drum module turning off before I’m fin-
ished using it?
Set the parameter on the Auto Power-Off page (System8)
from Menu Mode to “off. (See page 75.)
Why won’t a selected song play?
If the song you selected contains no data, the drum module
will not be able to play it.
Ho
w do I stop the drum module changing the current drum
kit when I select a different song?
By default, your drum module always chooses the best kit for
each song. To prevent it from doing so, set the parameter on
the Kit Lock page (System1) from Menu Mode to “on. (See
page 73.)
How do I have my drum module choose the best drum kit
for each song?
Set the parameter on the Kit Lock page (System1) from Menu
Mode to “off. (See page 73.)
What should I do if I can’t hear a song’s drum parts?
•Ensure that the drum parts have not been muted. (See page
27.)
My training scores are strange. Why is this?
Crosstalk could be triggering sounds unintentionally as you
drum. See the above section Crosstalk is occurring.

Closed rim shots (Rim 2) Head shots Open rim shots (Rim 1)  Head shots Striking the main surface of the pad produces a head shot sound.  Open rim shots Striking the open-rim zone produces an open rim-shot sound. 16 DTX502 Owner’s Manual  Closed rim shots (cross sticking) Striking the closed-rim zone produces a closed rim-shot sound. Basic Techniques Striking the Drum Pads Hi-hats When using a two-zone hi-hat pad such as the RHH135, you can produce a number of distinct sounds, much the same as if you were playing an acoustic hi-hat cymbal. Edge shots  Open and closed sounds • You can produce an open hi-hat sound by striking the hihat pad with the hi-hat controller’s pedal not depressed. • You can produce a closed hi-hat sound by striking the hihat pad with the hi-hat controller’s pedal depressed. • Using a hi-hat pedal, you can recreate the sound of a closing hi-hat.  Bow shots Striking the main surface of the hi-hat pad (i.e., the bow section located between the cup and edge) produces a bow shot sound.  Edge shots Striking the outside edge of the hi-hat pad produces an edge shot sound. Bow shots  Foot-close sounds You can depress the hi-hat controller’s pedal to create a foot-close sound without having to strike the hi-hat pad.  Hi-hat splash sounds Depressing the hi-hat controller’s pedal and then immediately releasing it produces a hi-hat splash sound.  Cup shots (PCY100 only) When using a PCY100 as your hi-hat, you can produce a cut shot sound by striking the cup section of the pad. In order to do so, you will need to set the cup switch (CUP SW) on the rear of the pad to the ON position. OUTPUT CUP SW DTX502 Owner’s Manual 17 Basic Techniques Striking the Drum Pads Cymbals When using a three-zone cymbal pad such as the PCY135, you can produce a number of distinct sounds, much the same as if you were playing an acoustic ride cymbal.

NOTE With certain drum kits, the Pad Song function (page 29) will automatically start playing a song when you strike a pad. Adjusting Pad Sensitivity A pad’s sensitivity determines how the loudness (or power) of its drum sounds changes depending on how hard you strike it. You can adjust the sensitivity of all pads as follows to make them more accurately reflect the dynamics of your drumming. Hold down the [KIT] button and press either the VOLUME [+] or [–] button. aKit Gain=100% b cÇÇÇÇÇÇÇÇÇÇÇÇÇÇd NOTE • Adjusting the sensitivity as shown on the left affects the entire kit. • If you wish to set sensitivities on an individual pad basis, see the description of the Gain page from Menu Mode (page 68). Hold • Pressing the VOLUME [+] button increases the gain setting, making all of the pads more sensitive. This means that louder sounds can be more easily produced with softer drumming. • Pressing the VOLUME [–] button decreases the gain setting, making all of the pads less sensitive. This means that louder sounds can only be produced by drumming hard. Balancing Instrument Volumes If necessary, you can change the volumes of individual instruments (page 20). For example, you may need to lower the volume of the kick while increasing the volume of the snare. For details on how to do so, see the description of the Mixer settings page from Menu Mode (page 57). DTX502 Owner’s Manual 19 Basic Techniques Building Your Own Unique Kits It’s easy to build your own unique drum kits with the DTX502—simply change the drum sounds assigned to the individual pads on pages KIT2 to KIT6 as described below. NOTE The KIT1 page is used only for selecting different kits. Tip Voices, instruments, and kits Closed rim shots Pads such as the snare, hi-hat, and cymbals (pages 16 to 18) have been designed to trigger different voices (or sounds) depending on the zone of the pad that is struck (see Input Sources on page 29). In terms of the DTX502, an “instrument” is a collection of the voices assigned to the various zones of a specific pad. A kit comprises a full set of instruments—one for each pad.
