INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Alternate Mode's trapKAT XL!
Since the original trapKAT, much has changed. We now use a lightweight aluminum frame which is
about 2/3rds lighter than the original trapKAT. We have replaced the original heavy gum rubber pads
with our new nuBOUNCE playing surface. This new playing surface just feels great to play on. There
are 24 pads on the trapKAT, 10 large pads and 14 rim shot style pads that can be played with the shaft
of your drumstick. There are also bass drum and hi hat inputs, making a total of 26 things to play on.
Our proprietary FSR (force sense resistor) sensors have improved as well. They are now more
dynamic and durable than ever before. The trapKAT now comes in a beautiful white powdered coated
surface.
Many of the drumKAT's performance features are now part of the operating system of the trapKAT.
There are Alternate Modes, Velocity Switch Modes, Layering, Pad Linking as well as some Gate
Control Modes such as Roll Mode and Latching for Loops. We have even added Controller Functions
so that CC Data can be sent along with note data.
Because the trapKAT XL is conceived as a total electronic drum set, we developed our own Hi Hat
and Bass Drum triggers, the eHAT2 and eKIC pedals. These pedals are different because unlike other
companies models, you can determine the pedal height and spring tension on both of them. It is the
fact that you are using a real bass drum pedal that makes it feels incredibly natural and comfortable to
play on. We also sell our own stand, so that a complete bundle is available for your convenience.
