Yamaha FGDP-30 Finger Drum Pad with Built-In Speaker

The Yamaha FGDP-30 Finger Drum Pad puts a complete electronic percussion instrument in a compact, portable design. With 18 touch-sensitive pads, 39 preset drum kits, and 1,212 onboard sounds, the FGDP-30 lets you play acoustic and electronic drum patterns using just your fingers. No drumsticks, computer, or external sound module required.

Unlike conventional square-grid pad controllers, the FGDP-30 features an ergonomic layout designed specifically for finger drumming. Its responsive pads capture everything from soft ghost notes to accented snare hits and rapid rolls. Polyphonic and channel aftertouch provide additional expression, including the ability to choke cymbal sounds.

Built for Playing Anywhere

The FGDP-30 includes a built-in speaker and rechargeable battery with approximately three hours of operating time. Practice on the couch, work out a rhythm at your desk, or take it along when traveling. The headphone connection allows for private practice, while the AUX input lets you play along with music from an external device.

A Wide Range of Drum and Percussion Sounds

With 39 preset kits and 1,212 voices, the FGDP-30 covers acoustic drums, electronic beats, and percussion sounds suited to rock, jazz, hip-hop, electronic music, and more. Adjust tuning, decay, and effects to customize your playing experience.

The built-in metronome supports tap tempo and a range of rhythmic subdivisions, making it useful for developing timing and coordination.

Connect to Your Recording Setup

USB MIDI and audio connectivity allow you to record performances or control compatible virtual instruments in your digital audio workstation (DAW). The FGDP-30 works as both a standalone percussion instrument and a hands-on controller for computer-based music production.
