3. Use
a
high
sensitivity setting
if
the
trigger has
an
adjustment.
SMALL TOMS 8'L13''
With smaller
toms it is possible to get proper tracking using either head
or
shell mounting. You will need to experiment
with
both to determine
which will
work
best
in
your
situation.
For head mounting:
1. Mount
the trigger so that it
is
within one
and
one-half
inch
from
the batter rim.
2. Placement
of the
trigger
should be on the
players
side of the
drum,
within
a lug or two of
where
the stick
would hit if you
played a rimshot.
(In
some cases the opposite side of the
drum, directly across from the player may work well).
3. Slightly reduce the sensitivity
of the trigger
if it has an
adiustment.
For
shell
nounting:
1. Firmly mount
the trigger
to the shell so that
it is
approximately
one
inch
from
the
batter rim.
2. Placement
of the trigger should be
on
the players
side of the
drum, within a lug
or two of where the stick would hit if you
played
a rimshot
3.
Use
a mid
to high sensitivity
setting
if
the trigger has an
adjustment.
LARGE TOMS
14''-18''
In most
cases shell mounting
will work
the best. However, you
might
experiment
with head
mounting and find
great results.
1. Firmly mount
the
trigger to the shell
so that it is
approximately
one
inch
from
the batter rim.
2.
Placement
of the trigger should
be
near
the side
you
sit,
within a lug
or two of where your
stick would hit if
you
played
a rimshot
