All user reviews for the Traps Drums A400

I've had less than a month, the new model A400NC (I did not see an entry for

I tried the Flat Arbiter a boyfriend C not bad but at the C super limited settings and as it no longer exists ...
I had read that it was the "brains" who created the Flat that the closure of this box, created the traps (they also make electronic, I do not know)

This is the total happiness to go play!
It sounds really good and THE BIG positive is that it simply folds.
Everything else (including the GC and CC) on the rack is beautiful, solid (qd just takes a boom cymbal hand we see that it is the "Pro" What's tough!) And very stable.
I remove the cymbals and the GC and HH pedals (which are sold with)
It is not very heavy (+ / - 20 kg) and it fits easily in one small car.
In the summer, I do a lot of piano bars (international times pop-rock shows, etc.) and usually plays one night a place then mount and unmount the drums and especially the local lug to the car, the car at the scene (and sometimes it is not listed) and reverse path after a concert 3 hours on average, is exhausting, tiring, boring ... and harmful to health (we ALL back problems after a few years of practice).
There, in 6 min is folded, transported and stored in my little 106.
I can even bring a friend zicos (or bring a "friend" to return )

In sound:
Toms without drums (!) Ring of hell and easily adjusted (there are 6 lugs by tom) and a length (sustain) amazing note. I even sometimes the muffler with circles ("rings attenuators harmonics")
The snare drum is a "piccolo" (12 ") with 8 bolts (I muffle a bit to get the note) and it goes almost everywhere (for directories really rock" punchy "I also take my DC 14" and muffles a bit to get a good acoustic balance with all)
GC is more difficult to adjust even though I'm pretty experienced, with less than 10 cm deep (but 2 skins) is not super easy to get a round kick and its deep enough.
I tried different skins (strikes and resonance), a hole, trying different mutes (the rolled strip roofing felt) and even different bats: I now have a good kick drum sound, precise and defined.
As always transplanted GC (mm small club) on fine-tuning the sound with a little EQ and a bit of reverb (a bit more for the more directories "rock") for larger venues I just put one or two micro OH (overhead) and the fact that it is!
I can not wait to try it with one mic Case + 2 OH or downright studio conditions.

Overall volume: about 25% less power.
It's great for repeat lowest overall volume is any better and is less stupefied with watts (it tires ...)
It is also very valuable for REPAIR piano bars (etc.) are still freaked out by the noise.

Result: my energy is spent only in my game, I no longer have back pain as before, I win a lot of time to install and uninstall (so I can take a drink at the bar cushy as other after the gig. short .. I REVISED!

My friends all smiled zicos the first time when I got to play in my little car, with my traps, but given the sound, the look (which surprises and attracts) and hyper practical concept, they now laugh at my poor "brothers "drummers who are dying to carry around 3 tons of stuff lol

Excellent quality / price.
Report his / troublemakers unbeatable.

I can not imagine live without it (unless I have roadies)
Too bad it does not have existed earlier ...

Approximately 8 months
The + side portable, price, solid rack, the fastening system on the snare drum rack.
The - the bass drum, snare drum sound too steep (piccolo)
I tried a few drumkit models "classic" in the studio rehearsing or in concert.

Mine is equipped with hi hat zildjian 8 "tiny but it does, plus a splash that I use also ride (should take it easy). I intend to add soon a ripple of PST5 Paiste crash. I also have a tambourine on the rack.

Sound:
For rock, it is obvious that the kick does not send. I did an event in the snare of the GC and put some foam, it improves a bit, but it's still a free kick drum!)? It will try with a mic, but it's a bit complicated for the small coffee together.
In comparison, I was playing before a small system built around a converted floor tom drum (The baguetterie) and a snare that was actually just a tambourine. The sound of the kick was perfect punch, wooom with a high noise level less than 22 ".
The drum played with brushes nylon sounded very low, all gave her great. Of course, impossible to play with chopsticks and no effect of "stamp".
There, I admit being disappointed with the snare sound. I tried to tune (I'm not very good the above) put a towel on it (it reduces the volume and it also drops the note, but it still remains quite dry.
Okay, I confess I have not done too much testing but I think it is best to change the snare (I do not know if we can put a 14 "in the media, but 12 more deep c is safe and probably 13).
For the rest, I find it great, the toms sound great (it's a little rototom but it's nice), the foot of Charles is not bad at all, fairly flexible.
I use the pedal on my GC that I had 16 "I'll probably try to install it on the rack instead of the GC any platform.
Obviously, the big foot is when you have to lug around the concerts. It enters the car without removing anything (except the cymbals) and it is transported alone in a single journey between the car and the scene, then 5 minutes later, almost ready to play. Nothing to do with the galley of the transportation and installation of a "real" drums.
