This lightweight and portable kit is perfect for anyone who has limited practice space or who likes to pack up their kit and take it to lessons or jam sessions.

Assembly is easy – just expand the frame, connect the pads to the clamps, plug it in, and you’re ready to rock.

The DD400 has 3 toms and a snare, a crash, ride and hi-hat cymbal, plus a hi-hat pedal and bass drum pedal so you’ve got a complete kit that can kick out some huge beats straight away.

The bass drum trigger is ideal for late night practice as it’s much quieter than a traditional pedal and pad set-up.

The heads are made from soft rubber in a tough plastic casing so they’re quiet and sturdy with a natural response that replicates the feel of an acoustic drum set.

The module is positioned right in the centre of the kit so it’s easy to see and access quickly.

There’s 10 pre-set kits programmed in, so you can quickly find a sound to suit any style including rock, funk, jazz and house.

If you prefer to create your own kits, there’s 108 individual drum and percussion voices to choose from.

There’s also 40 patterns of varying difficulties and styles that you can play along with.

A click function is included to help keep time and work on practice drills.

Round the back, there’s a range of connectivity options.
USB and MIDI allow you to connect this kit to a computer for recording or to use it as a MIDI controller which opens up possibilities for expansion and accessing new sounds.

The stereo output can go straight into a drum monitor or amplifier if you want more volume, whilst the headphone jack can be used for silent practice sessions.

Finally, the aux in allows connection of an MP3 player so you can drum along to your favourite tracks.

The DD400 is a super compact kit with a lot of attitude. Whatever your ability level, a wide range of sounds and connectivity options will keep this kit fresh and up to date.
