Yamaha FGDP-50 Finger Drum Pad
THE ULTIMATE FINGER DRUM PAD
With ultra-sensitive pads in an ergonomic layout perfect for finger drumming, the FGDP features a tone generator, internal speaker, and rechargeable battery that make it a true all-in-one instrument that you can play anywhere.
Let your fingers make the rhythm!
Yamaha make finger drumming more accessible and creative with 2 new model releases FGDP-50 and FGDP-30. Finger drumming rises in popularity and gains attention in club performances, at live concerts and on social media. With FGDP-50 and FGDP-30, Yamaha introduces two devices tailor-made for that very purpose.
Ergonomically optimized to facilitate organic and vibrant finger drum performances, both models feature 18 pads, with the FGDP-50 coming with eight additional RGB-lighted pads. The layout is designed for finger drumming, pads and sound libraries are also tailored to that purpose. Both devices feature built-in speakers and batteries, so they can easily be operated on their own and on the move.
The FGDP-50 offers an additional eight RGB pads and a display as well as support for flash drives for playback and recording and additional features like Note Repeat that further bolster the creative capabilities of the finger drum pads.
Ergonomically optimised for perfect finger drumming
Yamaha optimised the FGDP pads to optimally support finger drumming. The layout is directed by the anatomy of the hand, so a typical three-finger performance is particularly easy to pull off: the thumb kicks the bass drum, the index finger hits the snare and the middle finger plays the hi-hat. This is merely a suggestion, of course – it is just as possible to use fingers of both hands or to come up with entirely different finger placements. The pads themselves are also designed with finger drumming in mind. They react more delicately than other drum pads to accommodate for the lesser energy usually exerted by fingers while also implementing appropriate dynamic control. For added expressive versatility, pushing down on the pads mutes the sound, recreating a cymbal choke effect. With this ergonomic setup, organic finger drum performance are a cinch with the FGDP-50 and FGDP-30.
Sounds from the big ones at your fingertips
Imagine having the sounds from the full-scale Yamaha e-drum kits quite literally at your fingertips – that is what FGDP-50 and FGDP-30 provide. The sounds from the DTX-modules offer a variety of acoustic drum sounds to organically fit into any genre, plus newly created electronic sounds for an even wider creative range. The DTX kits have not simply been mapped onto the FGDP pads, either. Instead, they were optimized for the new instruments and adjusted for playing with fingers instead of drumsticks, particularly in terms of velocity. The actual numbers underline the scope of the FGDP sound library: 1,500 voices, 48 preset kits for the FGDP-50 1,212 voices and 39 preset kits for the FGDP-30.
Self-sufficient finger drum modules: no environment required.
One major issue Yamaha wanted to address with the FGDP-50 and FGDP-30 was the accessibility of finger drumming. Finger drumming performances required controllers and music production equipment as well as a high level of expertise to set up that gear. The FGDP range requires none of that; the models are self-sufficient in that they integrate everything creatives need. Both models include a built-in 2.5 W speaker and run on USB-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Pads and sound generators are also integrated into the device, so there is no need for any periphery to start a performance.
Push the power
switch and start playing – that’s how FGDP operates. Convenient connectivity gets the most out of every performance. While there is no need to connect the Yamaha FGDP-50 and FGDP-30 to any other devices, there certainly is the possibility to do so. A USB connection to a computer allows for playing drum software or sample sounds from virtual instruments. The connection also enables recording audio or MIDI data to music production software and playback from a smart device for practice and play-alongs. With the free Yamaha Rec’n’Share app (iOS or Android), users can easily grab and edit performances in video or audio form and upload them to social media.
