E500
"I firmly believe that not only does Traps E500 electronic kit fill a gap in the retail market, it also works as a thoroughly useful teaching tool. I have recommended it to the Drumsense teacher network and am using a set myself."
Colin Woolway - Drumsense
Now with an IMPROVED MODULE, the E500 is our newest portable electronic kit.It feels like a regular drum kit and allows for Kit and sound adjustment.
Unlike other electronic drums you get a standard sized set of drums dual trigger 12" snare, single trigger 10" tom, 12" tom, 14" tom and 20" kick drum. These are fitted with mesh heads and our new under skin trigger system for near silent performance. So when used with headphones you can turn the volume right up and practice to your hearts content without upsetting the neighbors and/or your parents,girlfriend,boyfriend. Alternatively plug the output into a PA and blow the crowd away at your next gig.
The drums are constructed from a very high quality and durable ABS and are fitted with mesh heads*, steel counter hoops and are tuned with the traditional multi screw tuning system.
The electronic cymbals are also moulded with an internal trigger and NEW SOFTER PAD to damp out stick noise. The hi hat consists of one of these cymbals plus a switch triggered via a standard foot pedal so that it functions in the same way as an acoustic hi hat, unlike any other kit in the E500 price range.
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.
* Please note: the E500 is supplied with acoustic heads in the U.S.A.
The system is completed by the NEW E500 Module packed with the following features:

20" kick drum

It is also fitted with chrome plated steel hoops.
The shell is made from a robust high quality injection moulded ABS fitted with custom dual mounting points ideally suited to mounting in the E450 rack mount system. A strong metal plate is fitted to the bottom of the rear counter hoop so that when the kick pedal is fitted the beater strikes the head at the optimum position - top of the upstroke.
