Amazon.com Product Description
Lay down a pulsing beat without investing in a spendy traditional drum set with the Yamaha DD-20CAD touch-sensitive digital drums. The entry-level unit is a must for the beginning drummer, as it simulates the feel of an acoustic instrument while also delivering the benefits of digital technology. The beat radiates from the unit's four touch-sensitive drum pads and four sound-effects pads (with 16 effects), which combine to create a huge variety of sounds. To further mix things up, Yamaha added 55 assignable pulse-code modulation (PCM) voices, 100 PCM rhythm styles, and 10 percussion sets (nine preprogrammed and one user-assignable). Despite the array of features, the set is intuitive and easy to use, with a scroll wheel on the bottom left for browsing through voices and styles and a straightforward user interface.Other features include a single 3.94-inch speaker, a headphone jack that lets you practice in private without waking up the neighbors, an AC power adapter, and a pair of drum sticks. And at 9.3 by 5.9 by 17.1 inches (W x H x D) and a mere 3.1 pounds, this is one drum set that fits easily in a studio apartment or bedroom. So put off that acoustic purchase a bit longer and learn to play the easy way with the DD-20CAD.

Don't waiste your moneyPackage arrived in good condition, however.....i spent alot of money on this item .......is very small for what you get and then the ac adaptor doesn't even come with it!! These toys are getting more expensive and then don't include any accessories for what you pay for. I like yamaha products but would be very careful in future to buy items like these from online.
Meh....I don't get itI don't see the point in a digital drum set. My parents bought this for me for christmas when I asked for a drum set...but I played with it some and it didn't help me learn much. These things just don't have the feel of a drum set. And as for this particular model, it's quite low-end. My advice is to save a bit more money and buy a snare drum.
No AC Adapter Included!In the description that ToysRUs has on the Amazon page it states that the AC Adapter is included in the box. There is no adapter and I don't look forward to using AA batteries. We selected this item because it said that it WOULD have batteries.
Not just for kidsI recieved this as a Christmas gift from my wife. I am very
pleased with the overall performance . I am a muscian who
plays a variety of instruments including drums and have been
for30 years. I write and record original music and find this
to be an excellent aid to keep me in time while recording
stringed instrument tracks.The effects and rythymn tracks
included are also a plus. This is a good beginner item for
that young drummer to learn the basics on, without having
to shell out mega bucks for a big set of drums that the
child may loose interest in. They are also all but silent
when used with headphones, so everyone in the house will
not have to hear them. One cautionary note-mine DID NOT
include the ac adapter as advertised; amazon.com is
attempting to remedy this. You can pick up a 12 volt ada-
pter at any Radio Shack for about twelve bucks.
