New for 2010 Free Throne With Any A400 Traps Drums Set!
In Rhythm Magazine in 2005 Geoff Nicholls asked: "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."
The A400 is the first portable kit to feel and sound like a regular drum kit. The drums are constructed from a very high quality and 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
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 noticeble improvement in playability compared to other portable drum sets in this price bracket.
A400
The A400 comes fitted with quality hardware as standard. This includes hi hat and kick drum pedals which are both rugged and free moving. Also include is a snare basket and boom cymbal arms (which can be slid into the frame for easy storage). The hardware is both reliable and distinctive with black-painted footplates and "Traps" embossed seat squab. They also feature quality chain drives, memory locks, expansion springs and clutches.
Easy to transport!
