Yes, drum triggers are typically velocity sensitive. This means that the harder you hit the drum, the louder the sound will be. Triggers can be adjusted to be less or more sensitive to velocity, depending on your preference.
A trigger is a device that helps a shooter fire a gun more accurately. It can be as simple as a finger rest that helps you put your finger in the right place, or as complex as a laser sight that projects a dot onto the target. Some people say that using a trigger is cheating. They argue that it gives the shooter an unfair advantage, and that it takes away from the challenge of shooting. Others say that triggers are perfectly fine, and that they can help shooters of all levels improve their accuracy. So, what do you think? Are triggers
Yes, you can play an electric drum without an amp, but the sound will be significantly quieter and less powerful. An electric drum without an amp is best used for practice or for very small venues.
No, not all drummers go deaf. While exposure to loud noise can cause hearing loss, there are many factors that contribute to this condition. Genetics, age, overall health, and occupation are just a few of the things that play a role in hearing loss.

I grew weary of creating my own triggers after all these years. I want dependability. What is! Moreover, a HUGE variety of dynamics. I didn't anticipate that. I have never regretted a quality purchase. You only purchase anything of high quality once. This is excellent. Simple, reliable, and superior performance. This is what I use with my Alesis Strike Pro drum set.

Right out of the box, it performs as promised! I operate it with the Remo Silent Stroke head and the SPD-SX. Perfectly and independently, the rim and head trigger. When I used the trigger on a standard drumhead, I had to fiddle with the sensitivity and threshold because there were some sympathetic vibrations that led to errant triggers, but after that was set, everything worked as it should. I had my doubts about triggering based on inferior models, but Roland produced a fantastic device. I need two additional RT 30H triggers to complete my hybrid system.

My doubles were pulling some speed with tone on my two 24" kicks at 220 bpm on the nome when I put these beaters on my two Tama Flexi Glides, the one with the yellow Kevlar straps. Tama makes some nice beaters. I might be able to achieve the same effect with smaller bass drums as I can with these on my larger 24X18 Yamaha Maple Absolutes. My favorite new beater is now these. Since they appear to lack the dense weight that this Gibralter beater has, the Yamaha beaters are a little bigger and lighter. Additionally, the felt on this Gibralter beater looks denser and is heavier. This creates sound and a vibe that I can relate to. Additionally, I still have the felt tone that enables me to gently pull back with my feet strength so that my hands blend in better when I fiddle with the famed hand routine on my kit and rip the snare wires off. This beater is soft like felt for slowing down or switching things up, yet heavy enough to punch as hard as wood. This is awesome, man!

After using a Roland rim-mounted trigger, I purchased this. Between the foam cone and the mesh head, that trigger left a space roughly the thickness of a sheet of paper. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to trigger reliably and accurately unless I wedged something between the bottom of the housing and the side of the drum, forcing it to "lean in" and make contact with the drum's head. The foam touching the head is not a concern, according to my testing of this Yamaha trigger. Also, I slightly prefer the metal housing. I don't know why the Roland trigger didn't work for me because I use standard triple-flanged metal hoops on my drums. After I adjusted my drum module settings, the Yamaha trigger is precise and reliable and works nicely.

These are being used as digital drum trigger pads, and so far they are great. Although I have heard other people complain about these and other units not keeping up, I believe them to be superior to all the others. The wires used for this purpose are considerably thicker gauge than any others I've seen, and the solder attaching the wire to the sensor is far thicker than any other I've seen.These have my highest recommendation.

The Roland TM-2 trigger module is excellent. On the kick drum, I play it. You can upload a unique wave file that you've saved to an SD card for your personalized sound, and it already has noises that are ready to play. 5 1/4 by 5 1/4 by 2 1/4 are the measurements. Additionally battery-operated, I utilize the included power supply. Two trigger inputs and outputs are present. Y cables let you add more. The left mono output can be linked to an interface input for computer software recording or out to a DI box for a mixing board for live performances. My uploaded parameters were saved and programmed with ease (SD card). You don't have to; just make sure your settings match your playing preferences. Simple to adapt to a new kit and set. Everybody will have a somewhat different arrangement, so take the time to learn yours. Okay for curve-liners (regular) I prefer loud 2 since it is louder than liner. Threshold- if too high or low, it might repeat (stops double hits from happening). Sensitivity: If it's not set high enough or low enough, it might not detect your hits. I cancel X talk and depart at the (default). Additionally, instrument edit is crucial. Here Level is set to 100 (the maximum output), and Max not Linear is selected for Dynamics. Max elemonates all dynamics, so that every stroke on my kick drum sounds the same. To sound nice both acoustically and digitally, make sure your drum heads are tuned correctly! Wishing you luck as you develop your drumming and sound!

Each piezo was packaged with bubble wrap and arrived in a classy container. The wire gauge suited me, and the solder attachments were neatly done (i.e. not too flimsy). Some thoughts on the foam especially... rather hard material, quite sticky - attaches strongly to plastic, metal, mylar drum heads, etc. You can find many reviews for the version of these for sale without foam disks. I discovered that the foam was causing a lot of secondary triggering when I used these for a set of DIY drum triggers. I definitely should have experimented with additional trigger interface settings, but instead I used a piece of moon gel to glue the piezos to the drum head, which worked perfectly. In conclusion, while I like the foam (and have used it to mount a piezo to a wood block), I didn't think it would be the best material to utilize for this purpose on a drumhead.

I use this in conjunction with my customized Ion Drum Rocker as the high-hat. It's a reliable and sturdy cymbal trigger.Ion cymbals are noisier than this one (but then again, so is my garbage disposal). In contrast to the Ion cymbals, which only produce klonks and thwacks, the foam striking pad produces a more substantial "thunk."I occasionally play it a little hard since, in my head, I'm a killer drummer. I took off the pad and soldered the trigger wires back on when this one stopped functioning. Replacement triggers and foam pads are available online, and Pintech offers excellent customer service.A second one is on its way after I placed my order.The HUGE gold label with PINTECH TC SERIES ELECTRONIC TRIGGER CYMBAL is the only thing that bothers me. Strangely, compared to the rest of my kit, this high-quality cymbal appears more like a toy. It loses 1 star since, in my opinion, it's a little too much.Yet it's not a toy. The TCs are well constructed, and the cost is reasonable. Even the 14s and 16s are quite reasonably priced. And Pintech is a fantastic business. These were highly suggested on the RB boards, and I will chime in with my endorsement.

Just so you know, I purchased a Pearl Export series kit in 2007. (Joey Jordison model). For tone, I'm using an ancient DM5. Right now, I play a single bass drum with a double bass pedal. I connect the kick and the other mics to my laptop's mic jack after passing them through a small sound board. I use it frequently to record music on Bandhub.com... enjoyable.The trigger didn't fit on the rim, which was the first issue. I didn't touch the head in any way. I used a drum key to fully tighten it, but it did not work.I initially dismissed it as being useless, but it came with a tiny rubber adhesive that I used to fill the space. Even though it has adhesive on one side, I merely glue it to the battery head so I can take it off and put the trigger back on afterwards. I'm not sure why the rubber piece is there, but it does the job.Therefore, as far as I'm aware, everything is operating as it should. Is it less sensitive because it isn't making direct touch with the head? I'm not sure. There is nothing else I can contrast it with.Performance problems are issue #2. The ideal case situation is to make excellent, forceful strokes with a normal beater height; otherwise, you run the risk of skipping notes when you play quickly and your strokes get smaller. Up until roughly 180-200 bpm, where your stokes start to grow smaller, two beaters on one head are acceptable. I tried to play "One" by Metallica, but all the notes in the DM5 didn't come out with my regular toe/ankle strokes that precisely put the notes out. To achieve the proper kicks to get the trigger to fire, I had to reinvent my kick technique. It will be challenging to follow two beaters on one head moving quickly.For extreme guys, having two kicks and two triggers is the greatest option for getting all of your notes across.Issue #3. I've got a ton of 1/4 inch wires from the old electronic set ready to use, but this trigger requires a cable with an XLR end. I so had to pay an additional $15 just to start. That was corny, but hey, it's 2016 now, loser.Recommendations: Purchase it as a pastime or passion. Learn a new skill, like how to mic a kick drum, if you are a pro. If you're playing live, just mic the thing; unless you're playing extreme, in which case utilize 2 kicks and 2 triggers to easily dispatch your foes.I've included a photo of the rubber object in use.You shouldn't be a drummer if you don't like fiddling with and resolving gear problems or if you fear losing your cool if something doesn't go as planned. I'm kidding, of course.You cannot play the drums using the trigger. That still needs to be done.

This cymbal is being used with an older Roland drum set. Because I play pretty rough, the Roland cymbals that came with the set were broken. The Aquarian cymbal springs that are offered are a great ally. I've previously used Aquarian springs to reduce wear on actual cymbals, but I never considered using them for electronic ones. They make a wonderful couple. The trigger cymbal's action is more purely natural. When I hit it and instantly draw back, I feel like I have played through it since it gives me enough feedback. When I bought this cymbal, I was aware that it lacked choking functionality, but since I don't use choking very often, I don't miss it. I didn't pay attention to the dimensions of my Roland cymbals, so when the Pintech arrived, I was taken aback by its size. To make room for it, I had to rearrange parts of my gear. But after some modifications, I am glad to have a bigger cymbal because it has given me more range of motion. To replace my previous broken Roland one, I now have another one on order.
Drum triggers are electronic sensors that are mounted on acoustic drums and cymbals. They are used to trigger sounds from electronic drums, samplers, and sequencers. Drummers use drum triggers for a variety of reasons. Some drummers use them to augment their acoustic drums with electronic sounds. Others use them to replace acoustic drums altogether. There are a few different types of drum triggers. The most common type is the piezo trigger. Piezo triggers are mounted on the drumhead and produce a signal when they are struck. Another
No, you do not need a module for drum triggers. Triggers can be used without a module by connecting them to a sound source, such as a drum set or an electronic drum module. However, using a trigger module will give you more control over the sound of your triggers, as well as allow you to use more than one trigger at a time.
There are a few things you can do to make your drums sound better. First, make sure they are in good condition and tuned properly. Second, experiment with different drumheads to find the sound you like best. Third, try different mic techniques and placements to get the best sound possible. Finally, use EQ and compression sparingly and only when necessary. By following these tips, you can make your drums sound their best.
There are a few things you can do to make your kick drum sound more punchy. One is to use a harder beater on your drum. You can also try tuning your drum lower, which will give it a deeper, more resonant sound. Finally, you can experiment with different miking techniques to see what gives you the best sound.
Yes, drumming can be good for anger. It can help to release frustration and pent-up energy in a constructive way. Additionally, the rhythmic nature of drumming can help to create a sense of calm and relaxation.
No definitive answer exists to this question as it depends on the style of music being played and the preference of the drummer and band. In general, however, the kick drum is usually played at a higher volume than the snare drum in order to create a stronger backbeat. This can help drive the rhythm of the song and keep the band locked in.
