Thoughts from a newbie

Gdude 27.09.2023

After annoying my wife by tapping on any horizontal surface around the house I decided to buy the YAMAHA FGDP-30. I am not a drummer by any stretch of the imagination so this review is written from that perspective.
I like the size, shape, weight and the complete portability of the unit. The sound from the built-in speaker I found to be acceptable but through my headphones stunning! I have yet to play with the abundance of kits and sounds being somewhat over awed by the sheer number of choices.
Initially I don't find the online manual to be all that intuitive but I expect that to change as I get more into the instrument,
In conclusion I do not regret for one second buying the FGDP-30 and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Finally, my wife has started to speak to me again !

It is very fun to use and drumming feels more natural than with a regular MIDI keyboard. I like the preloaded samples and it has plenty of kits to choose from. I enjoy the electronic kits more than initially anticipated, but I'm primarily playing (with) the acoustic ones. I haven't really found the need to dabble with the settings yet, but I've checked them out. The built-in metronome is a nice addition. USB audio works out of the box, so does the MIDI interface. The battery life is good. I'm happy with the purchase and don't regret not buying the FGDP-50 model - I probably wouldn't touch most of its additional features anyway. I guess that I'd prefer a screen instead of the partially voice-driven UI but I don't personally mind it.

Affordable and solid

Long-term workstation keyboard victim 11.02.2024

I don't have space for a drumkit, so I've had to resort to various pad controllers and such to lay down drums over the years as it is much easier to get some natural swing in. This particular unit makes that even easier as the layout is much more comfortable than a grid.
No issues with the build quality at all, solid Yamaha-stuff. Speaker is about as "meh" as you would expect, but definitely suitable for practicing.

Just what is written on the can.

It does just what l want it to do really good drum sounds throughout. L am using it to record usually a single drum component at a time to build up a kit on my DAW it works great and no drum kit and dare l say it no drummer. I think if l needed use it more as a finger kit I would have gone the more expensive version with the information screen.
