The most predominant material used to make a Trumpet is Brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc. There are a few other materials, such as felt (for the valve cushions) and cork (for the spit valves).

How good is the holten trumpet t602?

The Holton T602 is an excellent student/beginner trumpet. It was my first trumpet, and I played on it for 4 years. It's reliable, and easy to take care of. However, keep in mind that it is a STUDENT model trumpet. It is not made of the highest quality materials, and if the student wishes to continue on through high school (or beyond), you'll want to get a professional model trumpet.

How is a brass trumpet different from a gold trumpet?

They're not really different. They are just made of different materials. They make the same sound. Actually, probably what you're asking is: some trumpets are plated in gold, some are plated in silver, some in nickel. The trumpet itself is made of brass, then plated with different metals. It's a matter of opinion, but some people say different metals make the trumpet have a different tone and some say it doesn't.
