NAMM 2026 is officially underway, and If you’re anything like us, you’ll have been keeping your eyes peeled for the most exciting new releases. Yamaha knows this, and has leaned into it with teasers for an all-new electronic drums product over the last couple of weeks.

And it seems to have its sights set on doing away with your sample pad, trigger module, mics, interface and mixer in one fell swoop.
