Manufacturer's description

With their superb tracking ability, ddrum Triggers set a new standard of trigger mechanics. With

absolutely no adhesives required, the ddrum triggers clamp onto the sides of standard drum

hoops.The specially designed transducer is softly pressed against the drumhead. The advantages are

obvious; you can change drum heads over and over without damaging the transducer, the metal

casing protects the trigger from accidental drum hits and the ultra-light pressure of the transducer

against the head prevents any "damping" effect.Features: * Playing Dynamics are recognized in a

"natural way", allowing for a realistic dynamic response across the entire drumhead (from the

center of the head to the rim) * Double triggering problems are reduced * The special design

trigger reduces cross talk problems. * Together with ddrum sound modules, cross talk and double

triggering are totally eliminated. No muffling is needed * Fits most types of molded hoops * No

adhesive is needed * Sturdy Construction * All parts interchangeableddrum Pro Acoustic

TriggersThe ddrum Acoustic Triggers come in three different models that fit standard drum rim hoops:

the Tom Tom Trigger, the Kick drum Trigger and a special Snare Trigger with a separate sensor for the

rim. The Snare Trigger can also be used on Toms. The ddrum Acoustic Triggers feature a very sturdy

mechanical housing and can be mounted anywhere around the hoop. The ddrum Acoustic Trigger

features an XLR jack for safe connection to the sound module.
