OPTIMISED LAYOUT

Introducing a distinctive Pad layout meticulously designed for optimal finger drumming by prioritizing ergonomic comfort.

With the FGDP, you have the freedom to assign Voices to Pads according to your creative vision, but at Yamaha, we recommend the 3-finger style. Harness the power of your thumb for the kick drum, rely on the enduring middle finger for precise hi-hat control, and let your dexterous index finger bring to life the delicate nuances and intricate phrases of the snare.

The home position enables you to effortlessly execute fundamental rhythms, like 8th notes using just one hand. You can use your other hand to play on the other symmetrically laid out pads to unleash captivating back beats in 16th note or double kick styles.

Equipped with an ample number of Pads perfectly suited for finger drumming, the FGDP empowers you to deliver your finest performances, setting itself apart from conventional Samplers and MIDI Pads.

EXPRESSIVE PRECISION

Featuring cutting-edge Pads designed to capture every subtle nuance, the FGDP ensures that no detail goes unnoticed. With the powerful combination of the internal Tone Generator, you can deliver delicate performances encompassing ghost notes, impactful accents, flams, and lightning-fast rolls. Moreover, the Pads support Aftertouch, enabling unique drumming techniques such as cymbal choking by applying pressure to a Pad while holding it pressed. With the FGDP, your drumming possibilities are limitless.
