Value For Money : Excellent
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 ...
