Yamaha DD‑5, Retro Drum Machine with MIDI Out. Good Condition (PSU + Box)

Description

Selling my Yamaha DD‑5 digital drum pad in good condition, with 12 V DC power supply and original box. Only the sticks are missing; the unit itself is clean, fully working, and the battery compartment is free of corrosion.

This is a compact, lightweight Yamaha “desktop” drum pad (about 2.4 kg, 38 cm wide) with a built‑in 2 W speaker and four responsive pads, giving you instant sound without any extra gear. It runs on the supplied 12 V DC adapter or batteries, so it’s perfect for practice, travel, or quick sketching.Yamaha DD‑5 – Retro Digital Drum Pad with MIDI Out – Complete with PSU & Box
The DD‑5 uses low‑fidelity PCM samples (12 drum sounds across 4 voices) and has 30 built‑in rhythm patterns, all with tempo from 32–280 BPM — it’s a proper little retro 80s drum machine with a distinctive character rather than a modern hi‑fi feel. You can also play the pads manually over the auto‑rhythms, add fills, or set a pad to cycle through the drum sounds.

It has MIDI Out, which makes it great for triggering external gear (modules, synths, Volcas, etc.), though the setup is a bit fiddly because there’s no screen and MIDI channel/note assignments are done via button combos. That can be a fun project for synth/drum‑nerds, but it’s not plug‑and‑play for casual users.

Collection from Harringay Green Lanes / Manor house area or can arrange to meet locally. If you see the ad, the Yamaha dd5 is still for sale.
