Drum Amp Crisis: Made In Singapore

With the new arrival of the Roland TD4KX V Drums, It's inevitable that an amp purchase has to come along. I did some research and these drum amps don't come cheap. Average retail price for a entry level drum amp starts from $400. Since i'm not an all out drummer, i could not justify myself to spend a big amount of moola on a standalone drum amp.

Of course there is an alternative that keyboard amps would work well with electronic drums but i still could not justify spending on a keyboard amp just for drums sake.

I did lots of homework and came up with this.

Sonic Gear ARMAGGEDDON Ultra A7 - Armaggeddon class 2.1 High Power Audio System

Although this is just a Multimedia sound system, the specs on this monster is relatively built to withstand some pounding on frequencies. Unlike normal Desktop 2.1 PC speakers which will cause loss in frequencies, This one takes the cake in a new light.

I tested it with the Roland TD4KX and this monster works flawlessly. The highs and low frequencies are all in tack. Not only it can be used as a good drum amp. it can take keyboards and can be used as a multimedia sound system as well. This is a good 3 in 1 swiss army knife for home use.

The Singapore based company Sonic Gear's ARMAGGEDDON Ultra A7 - Armaggeddon class 2.1 High Power Audio System can be found at Challenger stores island wide. Call to check for availability.

Good stuff at an affordable price!
