@lwrruk YUP. i had the same problem too. me left hand is still wanting to do it, but i play open handed (my high hat hand) though the first four years of drumming werent a waste for me, i progressed MEANY times faster once i got my grip/ arm whip right. It is what allows you to accent, which is what turns a good drummer into a great one. Adjust when the physics of what your trying to do feels "off" or "inefficient" to your stream of thought.
@parkourmessenger Pretty thin, but if you let the beater come straight off after you strike it, it has a kinda drum and bass sub thud to it. I usually use a normal kick if Im gonna use it for a live rock gig.
i love my traps i got a vid of me playin 'em not a good vid but hey have you put anything inside ur bassdrum coz i found speaker insulation is good for giving it a good sound love your playin
@derbi75 I don't think I could use it for studio cause there is too much noise coming from the mounts when you strike the toms. Something they should amend with new models.
@papele75 I'd recommend it if you're planning on moving it around. That's when it really comes into its own. If you just need a kit to sit in your bedroom or whatever, you could probably spend less and still have a decent beginners kit.
@drummerbf The kit has no cymbals included. Two cymbal stands that retract inside the frame. Hi hat stand and kick pedal. I've had it for nearly two years now and Im sick of the snare, the clutch keeps slipping and you have to keep tightening it. I use a different snare. There's also a bit of an issue with the plastic tom mounts rattling, I think they should revamp it with metal mounts. Having said all that, I seriously could not imagine having to lug my big kit around everywhere anymore.
@Beatnikk777 i don't know but my dad had some lying around so i used it. makes my bass drum sound deeper than it is making it sound more like an acoustic full size bass drum :)
@mp3remix171 You'll definitely disturb people :o) But its not as loud as a full sized kit. However, its its fully miked you can still use it live and the tone is surprisingly good.
Yeah, the snare actually became a write off for me eventually. Not for the tone (which is a cheap piccalo at best) but because the clutch is a bad design and is constantly needing retightening. Ive replaced it with a 10x5 steel. The kick also sounds balls, but is functional and fine for rehearsing. The toms actually sound good, great even. But the mounting brackets vibrate and rattle. Ive done some recording with the 10" on a snare stand and it came up great.
@987654321adam Speaker insulation? How does that work? I've just got a small square of foam that touches both heads on the kick. It does a good job a tightening up the sound.
The toms have good attack, but you need to lay into them. They are pretty hopeless if played quietly. Everyone that has heard it is surprised by their power. But like you said, for rock and metal, punk etc it sometimes feels like its lacking in depth. More so from the kick than toms though.
gotta love the t-shirt man! really nice playin
just bought one
Kickstand.
They do sound a bit thin, but I'm guessing it's actually more the recording source than the drums that are causing that.
nice t-shirt!
haha dude i love your shirt. i have the poster on my wall

Using mine at a multi band gig on Saturday easy to move and sound great if miked but snare is the backup
@Beatnikk777 THNX man:D

@IxdokuxI For easy loading/unloading. It's meant for people that don't have the space to lug a full kit around.
HELLO Are the cymbals including the hi-hat come with the traps drums???????/

Yeah, its quieter. Definitely the kick. The toms have a decent volume.

Cymbals are all Paiste. 13" Twenty Hats, 18" Sig Full Crash for the ride, 17" Dark Energy Crash.
how does the bass drum sound?
@936703 i'm thinkin' about buying one...i'm a beginner...what about it? thank you !!!
@turkeysandwich11 No the cymbals aren't included. They are all hi end Paiste stuff
Can you change the heads on this like any other acoustic kit?
is the kick wide enough to add a kick port?
Ikes!
Does the cymbal set come with it? Where did you get it?
@eazyduzitjacob this is one of three
Hey man are those the cymbals it comes with?
i have playd for a while, and i wonder, if it is as noisy as a real kit or if its more of a inside , playing whitout desturbing anybody, kit?
@brraatt where is your "previous comment" ? just say it
Nar mate, It doesnt have cymbals included. Although I think they've recently added a cheap pack as an add on.
would you say these are quitter then a normal drumset?
@Beatnikk777 \
'SEE PREVIOUS COMMENT" seriously, you coulda just said yes or no. i hate when people do that
@Cheapchumps2

Ok for a kid learning. Live stage,never.
they look like roto toms
@brraatt No
@Cheapchumps2 Depends how much you pay, most of the time no.
