Product Description
The TransActive Drummer is the amplifier designed for today's electronic drummer. This complete, active system contains a powerful, active two-way speaker wedge with two sets of inputs, stereo outputs, and a dock for iPod. It's perfect for practicing alone or playing with a band. Because it's a full-range amplifier, the TransActive Drummer is also great for use with other instruments such as keyboards. You can use it for practice, amplification at the gig, or as a foldback monitor wedge. INPUTS AND OUTPUTS The TransActive Drummer enables you to connect your electronic drumset, as well as an aux source such as a metronome or sequencer. The dock for iPod enables you to mix and play along with your music. You can link two TransActive Drummers together with a common 1/4" TRS cable for stereo performance with double the inputs and double the power. The amp also has line-level 1/4" stereo outputs so you can connect it to a PA system or record your sessions. The front panel gives you access to volume, three-band EQ, level control for iPod, and a 1/4" headphone jack. When connected, headphones mute the speaker for late-night jamming without bothering the neighbors. SPEAKER SYSTEM The TransActive Drummer has a large, 10" woofer that plays down below most kick drums, and a 1" tweeter that makes cymbal sounds sparkle. The amplifier provides 50W RMS so you'll always have plenty of power. When you link two TransActive Drummers together for stereo performance, you get a 100-watt system that's ready to take on any guitarist's rig!

I don't know why people think they need to rate an item poorly if the store they bought it from sent the Euro version, sent it in a damaged box or gave them lousy service. What does that have to do with rating the performance of the item? Anyway, I will comment on the transactive drummer: First of all, I'm not going to compare my transactive to a $700 Simmons amplifier. I gave less that $200 and for what I paid for it, it's a decent amp. Will it blast a concert hall? No. Will it be good for practicing at home? Yes. -As long as you don't have squeeling guitars and bass to contend with. It's not super powerful, though I knew by the wattage it was going to be no powerhouse. The real power starts to come when you daisy-chain two or more together (I got a second one used at a local music store for a $100 and the two of them are pretty decent). Then you have stereo sound. -Still won't do a concert hall, but it will probably gig a small club. The Ipod attachment on the top is pretty handy; plugs in with no issues. If I ever decide to gig with them, I'll probably purchase a much more powerful amping system and save these for home use.
The sound? Well, just like any other electronic drum amp, it does well replicating drums, but degrades pretty quickly when you try cymbals. I've only seen a few amps do well with cymbals, but those cost 5-10 times as much, so again, you get what you pay for.

Purchased for just under 200 on Amazon - which I felt was a good deal for what was received. Sound is fine for electronic drum kit practice room and Ipod dock puts out great loud music (actually a nice dock station). Cords were not included. Standard RCA jacks for aux port seem to work fine. Split y 1/4 inch to 1/8th stereo line cable is not so easy to find but not required if using the aux port. Happy with purchase and shipping was quick
