What else you need:
The TrapKAT comes with a single footswitch, a video help desk CD-ROM, a manual, and an AC Adapter. Here are some other items you will need to complete your setup.
-Necessities-
Sounds source: A midi compatible keyboard, sound module, drum machine, drum brain, or just a computer loaded with a sample software.
Amplification: Headphones or amplification system(e.g. home stereo, PA system, or instrument amplifier with proper connection cables)
Other:
- 5-pin midi cable
- TrapKAT stand
- Bass Drum controller pedal
- Hi-Hat controller pedal
- (2) ΒΌ” instrument cables for Bass & H.H. pedals
- Drum throne(unless you prefer to stand…it can be done)
- Pair of sticks
Equipment Recommendations: There are many software programs out there to fill any drummers desires for a great studio sound.
If you’re going the non-computer rout, Roland and Akai sound modules and drum machines have great sounds. Roland especially has great customer service. The XV-3080 & 5080 has great sounds and can be expanded with drum expansion sound cards. The Fantom XR is even better with its ability to sample! Also, the TD series from Roland is pretty nice and is set-up for drums. Roland drum sound cards such as the SRX-1 are great for more authentic sounds!
-Nice Extras-
Three additional footswitches to easily edit parameters, or just 1/4″ switches.
