3. Use
a mid to
high
sensitivity
setting
if the trigger
has an
adjustment.
Nofe;
In most
caseg when shell
mounting triggers,
internal
permanent
mounting will provide
the best
results. This
permanent
form of
mounting allows the
trigger to be
more
firmly
attached to the
shell, which tends
to
improve
the
performance.
However, when
using this technique
it is usually
necessary
to
install an audio
jack
into the drum shell
to connect
the
audio cable to the trigger.
Muffling
Another important
part
of triggering
from acoustic drums
is the
degree of
muffling
you apply
to
your drums.
The
amount a head
vibrates
when
it
is struck
is what
causes
most
of the
problems
related to triggering
from an acoustic drum.
I know most
drummers don't
want to
put
a
lot
of tape or
muffling on their
heads, but the degree
of
improvement it makes may
be
well
worth at least
a little
sacrifice.
A slight
amount
of
muffling
can
make a huge improvement
in any triggering
units ability
to
properly track
your
playing.
Mounting Hardware and Configuration
The quality and
sturdiness
of your hardware will
make a big
difference
in
eliminating
potential problems. When you
use
unsteady hardware,
it is an
open
invitation to
crosstalk
problems. Toms that
are mounted
on
the
bass
drum, and drums
which share
a
stand with other
instruments such as
cymbals,
are
areas
where
you
should
be sure your hardware and mountings
are
solid
and sturdy. Always
check
to be certain that none of
your
stands or
drums are leaning up
against,
or touching
any other
drums
or
piece
of
hardware. To
sum
it
up, the more heavy-duty
your hardware is, the better.
