I have been binging on these sort of kits for a week or so now, trying to figure out what will work best for my space/style. Your kit is definitely the best I have seen.
hi Francis! i use this kit for a specific sort of occasion: acoustic small type events and it’s perfect.. i did the same thing- watched a bunch of vids etc and once I consider the price, ease of set up, footprint, versatility, and price, I arrived at this one..
Would it be realistic for me to take all the drums out of the box and fill it with vinyl LPs to sell at that shows? I tour on train sometimes, and only need the kick.
hi Steve, this is manufactured from Toca.. “purpose built” i really dig all those retro suitcases that were actual functioning things that were converted to be drums but this was made this way..
yes, it really is positioned too far away, this is my main “dislike”, the kick drum aspect of this is for sure my favorite, the snare has decent tone with snares on, but the tone without snares is sacrificed to gain portability.. this is always the balancing act with tiny kits. when i set this up with a 10” double headed “traditional” snare, a 14x14” floor tom, small ride & small crash with this kick it’s my personal favorite balance of portability / tone & stage foot print - for example my band plays once per year at a party where we are on a flatbed trailer, it’s a sweet set up but even a 14” deep kick is too big for that so this “kick drum” is perfect, great tone, plenty of volume and i can add regular toms
@@travisonthedrumz Thank you for the details. I am considering this or another tiny set, transportation and set up a full size drum kit is so time consuming. And also for small, more intimate setting you really need something like this if you want a bit more than a cajon. Thanks for sharing.
@@guadalupeeg5034 that was exactly my thought process: in order to get “it all” tone / portability / footprint, you have to drop $2500 on that micro brooklyn, this checks a lot of boxes for a fraction of the $$ let me know what you do!
Isn't the point of these types of kits to be minimal, ie: you don't need cymbals and hihats, stands, foot pedals, if you go this far might as well get a real set of drums
as with all my gear i tend to get carried away, sometimes the footprint is the priority at a location, sometimes volume, this would check this boxes even if you maxed it out..
i find a number of benefits: you can get a full drum kit sound with less footprint, less tear down / set up time, less volume, less to lug around, move from spot to spot if u want..it’s just easy

This kit is dope my question is what happens if the base pops can you replace it and do you know what you could use for a case ?
do you mean if the head splits open?
I m Brazilian! You are the Man!
VIVA BRAZIL!!
Way better than a cajon…
I love that kit!
and that kit loves you!

i think that would totally work
Hey! Do you know if you could fit cymbals in the suitcase itself?
Love that bass drum, what was it before it was a drum?
Thanks Steve

@@travisonthedrumz Thanks man
Isn't the Tom sitting too far from the snare? Is that adjustable?

Hi Travis, does the kick slide forward when you play? Is it pretty secure in place?
it hasn’t been an issue, but i could see it potentially being a problem if you really hammer it, but carpet would solve ..
How does the snare sound with brushes
A suitcase can be the bass drum.
I'd like to do something similar on my sub cabinets. Like a passive radiator but tunable. Why? Why not.

It's the SAME SIZE as a small bass drum. Apart from Toca diversifying their product line, what on earth is the point of this?

I’m a pianist and I ONLY want a bass drum to play with my foot while I’m playing piano. That is the point of this.
Thanks@@TheresaTV1 , that makes sense.
Toy drums.
