Yamaha FGDP-50 - Finger Drum Pad
THE ULTIMATE FINGER DRUM PAD
In addition to ultra-sensitive pads and an ergonomic layout perfectly adapted to finger drumming, the FGDP models have an internal sound generator, an integrated speaker and a rechargeable battery. Together, this makes them real all-in-one instruments that can be used anywhere. Simply let the rhythm develop under your fingers!
Optimised Layout
The new and distinctive pad layout has been specifically designed and optimized for finger drumming, putting ergonomic comfort at the forefront.
Your FGDP gives you the freedom to assign the exact sounds you want to each pad. For the ideal introduction, we at Yamaha would like to recommend the 3-finger technique. Use your thumb for a powerful kick drum, your middle finger for precise hi-hat playing and your index finger for sensitive and nuanced snare parts.
From the home position, you can effortlessly create fundamental rhythms with one hand, for example from eighth notes. The other hand can use the symmetrically arranged pads to add gripping backbeats, such as sixteenth notes or double kicks.
Equipped with a generous number of pads perfectly matched to finger drumming, the FGDP models enable you to deliver first-class performances that would not be possible with conventional samplers and MIDI pads.
Expressive Precision
Equipped with state-of-the-art pads that perceive even the smallest nuance, the FGDP series models ensure that no detail of your performance falls by the wayside. Combined with the integrated sound generation, even the most sensitive playing including ghost notes, effective accents, flams and lightning-fast swirls can be realized. In addition, the pads support aftertouch, which can be used to implement unique drum techniques such as stopping cymbals by applying more pressure to the pad. Enjoy the limitless drumming possibilities of your FGDP.
