Rock Demo of Traps A400

[alexmc69]

Great sounds, but how quiet is it acoustically? I'm looking at entry level e-drums and the Traps E400 is at the top of my wish list (over the basic Alesis, Yamaha and Roland kits)...

[MrGarlickid]

thes is gowing to be some rogha. lol

[flagkiller]

do this come with double pedal?

[reparris29]

Are those Traps cymbals?

[blica1]

they have no shells because they have to be portable !! that's the whole concept ..they are not toys !!! and they sound good enough..they do the job quite well..

[blica1]

the whole concept of this kit is portability, and these drums do the job, i've used a set in a live setting , although acoustic and they sounded good enough...they are not toys..a toy is what cb drum company makes..that's a toy..for those of you that think this is a toy, you're ignorant !

[Lorde555]

You scare me O_o

[Korkykat666]

Watch the earlier top quartile videos were i gigged with the a400 and were very good, i only changed for the look of full size kit...by the way the vids were only recorded on a phone but they sound goog mic/d up.....recommended.

[Therealanimale]

But this is so much more compact. It;s not only the drums. I still have all the cymbals, stands, clamps, drum throne and everything to carry around.. In a bulky hardware case on wheels. Tried all kinds of so called hardware-bags before, but they won't last with all the metal.

So this obviously is a serious reduction in weight and volume.

And looks cool too.

[Therealanimale]

I will buy this when I really have to take my drums out more often. Most of the time we hire sound and they bring also the drumkit along. . I just bought some covers for my 12/13/16/22 tama set becaurse very occasionally a gig requires me to take my set with me and I didn't want to ruin the interior of the car I have now, where previously that wasn't an issue:)

[generatrix999]

These are toys. They won't cut it live.

[TrapsDrums]

We have sold thousands of these kits, some to the likes of big bands for warm ups and many have been gigged, they have won 'Best Portable Kit' for 3 years running.

They aren't really toys.

[generatrix999]

Had a set in the 80's, when it (the concept) was called Purecussion.

Toys,

[TrapsDrums]

that was 20 years ago and a different drum kit,

you're entitled to your opinion of course, even if you are wrong lol

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

@generatrix999 oOo, burn.

[OrbitPrime]

@TrapsDrums don't worry, people who call these toys have no clear knowledge or understanding of the drum set. I have been drumming for 7 years, and this is on my christmas list. Very good kit (Y)

[Therealanimale]

Usually everything is miked live. I played on the crappiest drumsets who were taped completely dead. But it's the miking that takes care of matters.

[m3dion]

I'm going to buy this, or the E400 one soon, when I've spared enough money. Seems to be worth it all.

[jhonrox]

is this electronic or acoustic? or both?

i cant really tell and how much is it?

[m3dion]

It's actually electronic, but it feels like an acoustic.

[nocturnezero]

Are you sure? I swear that's acoustic.

[m3dion]

Yeah, sorry, you're right, I thought this was the E400 one, but then I noticed it isn't.

[jwervel16]

What an insult to rock drumming! Never heard of Bonham?

[TrapsDrums]

Ever heard of someone making a joke! doh!

[IchMagSechs]

@TrapsDrums Ha.! in that case funny joke -_-

[sprinceunitz]

not as if bonham is the only rock drummer anyway

[novembercold72]

I think these kits sounds ok to be fair, the main great thing about them is that they are so portable and take up slightly less space, I've heard that a towel over the kick helps. Has anyone actually used these or the flats for studio recording? anyone care to share??

[nucleocide]

lolz+

[TrapsDrums]

Sorry, I deleted your message! Yes, yes can fit any cymbals to it

[nl59]

HAHA! Simon your old student has found you on youtube finally! Joe Lambton - Eggars school! Nice video (Y)

[FC523KB]

ok those stock cymbals sound terrible

[TrapsDrums]

that's why expensive cymbal exist!

[ImThEkOoLeStYeA]

they offer a model of this with better ones

[sd850]

What cymbals are you playing with in this video? Sabian B8s?

[TrapsDrums]

The cymbals fitted are budget ones that come with the kit.

[tehGmoney]

everything sounds pretty good except the bass drum, is there any way to dampen that?

[Soupman3452]

Either a trigger or, I've never tried it, but maybe taping a really thin cloth to the back of it.

[Niko1020]

man, how does that work?

[countryfriedtaters]

wow thats really cool

I might buy some

[pacman491]

whats the trick? Theres no resonance without the shells? I wanna know the science lol

[jbjamespb]

i want to buy these drums but can i use a double bass pedal and can i add more drums if i need to??

[TrapsDrums]

hi, there, yes, we sell 8"toms and double pedals. Another popular part is the pair of bags. Thanks for looking

[nocturnezero]

Why wouldn't you be able to use a double kick or ad dtoms? Though you wouldn't be able to find any flat drums to match, which would mess with the consistency of your set up.

[crazyrob101]

wikid

cool beat

[dohead]

i am interested in these drums. but two questions. #1 can i set this up as a lefty drum set?(you know, snare on the right side, deepest tom on the left side.) and #2, can i add more cymbal holders to the drum rack?

[blasterberni]

Yep you can do the lefty thing and you can get cymbal holders on the rack to. No problem bro

[l345]

They sound as good as my Pure Rims do.

[robertthabassist]

sounds good

[Imsocool1004]

nice
