Yamaha XP80 8″ 3‑Zone TCS Drum Pad – Detailed Description

Yamaha XP80 8" TCS 3‑Zone Drum Pad – Compatible Snare or Tom Upgrade for Yamaha DTX Electronic Drum Kits
The Yamaha XP80 is an 8‑inch, triple‑zone electronic drum pad purpose‑built for the entire Yamaha DTX range. Its playing surface uses Yamaha’s patented Textured Cellular Silicone (TCS) head, a material packed with microscopic air bubbles to mimic the rebound and stick control of a coated acoustic head while keeping playing noise to a minimum.

Key Performance Features

• Triple‑Zone Triggering – Independent head, open‑rim, and closed‑rim sensors capture nuanced techniques including rimshots and cross‑sticking, provided your module supports 3‑zone pads. 

• Quiet & Realistic Feel – The TCS surface offers controlled stick rebound and significantly lower volume than mesh or rubber alternatives, making the XP80 ideal for late‑night practice and studio work.

• Broad Module Compatibility – Works natively with , DTX‑PRO / PROX, DTX‑MULTI 12 and legacy modules; head‑rim triggering still functions on entry modules like DTX402. Always check Yamaha’s official pad‑module table before purchase. 

• Versatile Sizing & Weight – At 260 mm and only 1.6 kg, the pad mounts easily on any standard Yamaha tom arm or snare stand without weighing down your rack. 

• Expansion Friendly – Use the XP80 as a main snare on compact kits such as the DTX432K. 

Technical Specs

• Diameter / Thickness: 8″ (260 mm) × 77 mm 

• Weight: 1.6 kg 

• Trigger Zones: 3 (Head / Open Rim / Closed Rim) 

• Pad Surface: Textured Cellular Silicone (TCS) 

• Connector: 1 × Stereo TRS output for head + rim, plus cup via ring split (module dependent) 

Typical Applications

• Quiet Home Practice – TCS material keeps mechanical noise low while preserving natural rebound.
• Snare Upgrade for DTX402K / 432K – Adds rimshot and cross‑stick support missing from single‑zone stock pads.
• Hybrid Live Rig – Triple‑zone triggering lets you assign auxiliary sounds (e.g., cowbell on rim, loop on cup) without extra pads.
• Portable Studio Kit – Lightweight 1.6 kg design is easy to transport and mount quickly.
