Traps Drums A400 Portable Acoustic Drum Set
The A400 from Traps Drums is a portable drum kit that feels and sounds like a regular drum kit. The drums are constructed from high-quality, durable A.B.S. and are fitted with Remo heads, steel counter hoops, and are tuned with the traditional multi-screw tuning system. This also allows the use of pads for silent practicing. The rack system that the drums and hardware fit to is made from substantial steel tubing which means that everything stays exactly where it’s put when the kit is set up and doesn’t move. Geoff Nicholls of Rhythm Magazine asked in 2005: “Can a shell-less kit ever stand in for the real thing?” He concluded: “Shell-less kits are a viable alternative and Traps A400 is easily the best so far. “Rack system The A400 rack-mounting system is made from sturdy large-diameter chromed steel tubing. The kit can easily be set up for either left- or right-handed players using the supplied tough ABS multifunctional joints. When set up, the rack is very strong and, once fitted with the supplied four large rubber feet, stays where it’s placed and doesn’t move. This provides a noticeable improvement in playability compared to other portable drum sets.

To put it mildly, they’ve been awesome. I can’t complain at all for the price. I’ve played out with then numerous times and they sound incredible. They also make load in/out very, very easy. Plus, they’re pretty easy to dial in soundwise. I…

The key to setup is making sure you tighten everything very tightly once you get the right positions for each drum. One point or drawback is I didn’t use the snare drum that came with since it wasn’t the most professional sounding drum. The snare would work for some. The toms and even the bass drum sound great right out the box. The smaller tom might not work for big rock style of drums. I will be testing this kit with a live band and…
Can’t beat the quailty for the price! I adapted this kit to my pro custom conga kit that I’ve mounted on custom flat board … solved a problem I’ve been working with for years in many ways and type drums … the sound is good and the light weight slim easy to mount features makes these ideal for adapting into a latin kit. I just ordered a lefty double bass drum pedal to give my right leg some room and a better angle to drive the bass drum, the hi-hat set up is smooth and sharp and now I can easily move to traditional north…
