The Gear4music DD400 is an electronic drum kit with a super compact frame ideal for bedrooms and small studios or practice spaces. A quiet kick drum controller pedal and headphone output mean you can practice without disturbing the neighbours whilst a host of connectivity options including USB and MIDI provide scope for digital expansion using your computer. There are 10 pre-programmed kits, 108 individual voices and 40 patterns to play along with on this responsive and user-friendly digital drum kit that's ideal for beginners and more experienced players alike.
Compact and Convenient
The Gear4music DD400 is 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 Gear4music 400 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.
