Yamaha FGDP-50 Finger Drum Pad

The ultimate finger drum pad

In addition to ultra-sensitive pads and an ergonomic layout perfectly suited to finger drumming, the FGDP models feature an internal sound generator, an integrated speaker, and a rechargeable battery. Together, this makes them true all-in-one instruments that can truly be used anywhere. Just let the rhythm happen under your fingers!

Made for Finger Drumming

Thoughtfully designed layout and pads for the ultimate finger drumming performance. Carefully selected by professional artists, the sounds range from authentic-sounding acoustic drum samples to powerful electronic sounds, covering an extensive range of genres for uncompromising performance.

Optimized layout

The new and distinctive pad layout has been designed and optimized specifically for finger drumming, putting ergonomic comfort front and center.

Your FGDP gives you the freedom to assign the exact sounds you want to each pad. For the ideal start, we at Yamaha would like to recommend the 3-finger technique. Use your thumb for a powerful kick drum, your middle finger for precise hi-hat playing, and your index finger for sensitive and nuanced snare parts. From the home position, fundamental rhythms, such as eighth notes, can be effortlessly realized with one hand. Accompanying this, the other hand can contribute gripping backbeats, for example from sixteenth notes or double kicks, via the symmetrically arranged pads. Equipped with a generous number of pads perfectly tuned for finger drumming, the FGDP models allow you to deliver first-class performances that would be impossible with conventional samplers and MIDI pads.

Expressive precision

Equipped with state-of-the-art pads that pick up on every nuance, FGDP Series models ensure that no detail of your performance is left behind. Combined with the integrated sound generator, even the most sensitive playing can be realized, including ghost notes, effective accents, flams and lightning-fast swirls. In addition, the pads support aftertouch, which allows you to implement unique drum techniques such as stopping cymbals by applying more pressure to the pad. Enjoy the limitless drum possibilities of your FGDP.

Great drum sounds

The FGDP is a true powerhouse, combining a careful selection of popular acoustic drum samples favored by professional drummers. Dive into a world of natural, lively and highly expressive sounds, which have been perfectly tuned to the needs of finger drumming by leading drummers. The set-up is complemented by a wealth of electronic sounds, masterfully curated by top-class artists and perfectly tailored to the needs of club sound enthusiasts. In addition, FGDP offers the freedom to create your own personalized kits from a total of 1,212 available sounds.
