Pros
+
Intuitive menu and very easy to operate and Great value.

This brand-new, conveniently compact electronic drum set is the latest in a line of own-brand, wallet-friendly electronic Digital Drum kits.

At best this set is also the most affordable of the wide range available from the web-based company.

However, if you fancy shelling out a bit more, this will treat you to one of G4M's tremendous package deals which includes the DD400 kit, a set of headphones and a drum stool - representing even better value for money as is with this kit for sale here

The five-piece set-up includes drum and cymbal pads, cabling, cymbal arms, drum rack, drum module drum sticks, drum throne wired headphones and two controller pedals to create a fully-fledged electronic kit.

The pad configuration is fairly typical of almost any modern electronic set-up, with the rubberised pads designated for snare, three toms and three cymbals. As per usual one of the cymbal pads is to be used for hi-hat (in conjunction with the controller pedal), while the other two cymbal pads are set for a crash cymbal and a ride.

Each control button is conveniently sized and positioned depending on the likely access and function. There are only seven (including the volume control), and the largest of these, the 'value' ('+' and '-'), is used to adjust any of the performance parameters such as kit or preset drum patterns etc.

The menus are intuitively structured and, as the functions themselves are fairly basic, there's no need to traipse through pages of parameters, making the module that much easier to operate.

Attached to the underside of the module is a DB-25 comms port connector (favoured by many manufacturers for the input of the various pads), which negates the need for masses of trigger input sockets along the unit, ultimately saving space and set-up time.

Sited on the back panel is the power supply socket, power switch, USB socket, five-pin din Midi Out, Right and Left (Mono) outputs, Aux-in and Phones. As with many electronic kits the Aux-in will allow connection of an iPod or CD player for the user to play along with their favourite tracks mixed in with the sound of the kit.

The hi-hat controller pedal works in conjunction with the hi-hat cymbal pad, giving the ability to produce familiar hi-hat tricks such as splashes and subtle 'chick' sounds. However, both the hi-hat pedal and the kick operate in a similar way, by a simple switch inside of each pedal.

This means it won't be possible to vary the volume and create dynamics with the kick. However, dynamics are possible with the rest of the kit as the module interprets the varying velocities from the piezo transducers of each drum and cymbal pad.

Complete Kit
The DD400 consists of 3 toms and a snare drum plus a crash, ride and hi-hat cymbals. It also includes hi-hat and kick drum controller pedals, plus this bundle gives you stool, sticks, headphones and amp so you have everything you need to get going.

Compact and Convenient
The DD400 is our most compact drum kit designed for use where space is at a premium. It's perfect for bedrooms, uni halls or flats as it won't take up too much room. The kit is also easily packed down when not in use and stored away. The frame is lightweight and easily moved to practice or lesson locations if needed.

Quiet and Responsive
The kick pedal controller is a lot quieter than a traditional drum pedal rebounding off a bass pad but gives a comparable action that allows the player to develop pedal skills. The headphone input means that it's no problem to pratice early in the morning or late at night - just plug in and away you go without disturbing the neighbours.

The soft rubber pads are quiet and responsive giving you the feeling of the drums with much less noise. The tough plastic casing around the heads means they are durable enough to withstand hours of practice.

Wide Range of Sounds
The DD400 kit has 10 pre-set kits programmed into the module so you can quickly find a sound you like from rock and pop through to jazz and house. Experiment with creating your own kits using the 108 individual drum and percussion sounds or play along with the 40 drum patterns of varying difficulty.

Connect and Expand
The DD400 has a full range of connectivity options which add a whole host of extra options for expanding and upgrading this kit. The stereo ouput allows you to connect the drum kit to a monitor or amplifier for extra volume when playing live, whilst the aux in means you can connect an MP3 player and drum along to your favourite tracks.

USB and MIDI connections can connect this kit to a computer for recording, composition or use as a MIDI controller. These connections can give you access to a whole host of tuition software and DAW functionality.

User Friendly Controls

The digital drum kit is easy to use with simple, user friendly controls. Whether you're just getting started or simply don't want to waste time with overly complex selection menus and functions, the 400 is accessible to everyone. Mode, page, start/stop and selection buttons sit on the front of the drum module along with a volume knob, and the LCD screen displays all your chosen sounds and settings. A click feature is perfect to help players with timing or practice drills.
