this is a really great-sounding kit

I like both the action and the way these Yamaha TCS heads produce very little noise while you play.

We love the ability to vary the tone across the bow of the cymbal, but I do wish it had a dedicated, larger pad.

The Yamaha USA spec page lists four DTX6 kits in column order (DTX6K5-M, DTX6K3-X, DTX6K2-X, DTX6K-X); the DTX6K3-X column shows an 8-inch TCS 3-zone snare, 7-inch TCS tom and floor-tom pads, an RHH135 13-inch 2-zone hi-hat on an HS650A hi-hat stand, PCY135 13-inch 3-zone crash 1, crash 2 and ride, "Preset: 40 Kits, User: 200 Kits", "Voices 712", "USB TO DEVICE, USB TO HOST" (no Bluetooth in the connector list), and Weight "36.6 kg" — the basis for every spec value. Percussion Source (page title "Yamaha DTX6K3-X", "Model Number DTX6K3") confirms the DTX-PRO sound module, TCS (Textured Cellular Silicone) pads, USB audio and MIDI, and "MSRP Regular Price $2,043.52". Chuck Levin's independently corroborates the exact model, the 8-inch TCS snare, 712 voices, 40 preset kits, the HS650A hi-hat stand "included with the DTX6K2-X and the DTX6K3-X", and MSRP ~$2,043 — confirming this is the DTX6K3-X and not the mesh DTX6K5-M or rubber-tom DTX6K2-X/DTX6K-X.
