triggering.
Most
of the trigger
manufacturers supply
several
pieces of
mounting
tape with
their trigger
products. It is
also
very
important to be certain
that no part of the trigger
wire,
which connects the trigger
to the audio
jack,
is
touching
or
resting
on
any part of the drum or
rim. This wire is sensitive
enough to trigger signals
from
the drum
vibrations which
would then cause double triggering.
Trigger
Placement
Placement is another very important part of triggering
performance,
but unfortunately there
is no right
or
wrong set of
rules. It simply takes
a lot
of experimentation
to arrive
at
the
correct
combination
for
the type
and size of drum, and the drum
kit configuration
you
are using. These tips
will help you
get
started with
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
BASS DRUM
1. Mount the trigger directly on the impact
head.
2. Place
the trigger
approximately 2-4 inches in from the
rim,
and level with
the beater.
3. Slightly reduce the sensitivity
of
the
trigger
if it
has an
adjustment.
SNARE DRUM
If you play with
a
fairly
tight batter
head,
try this:
1.. Mount
the trigger on the batter
head.
2. Place
the trigger approximately one inch from the
rim,
on the
opposite side of the drum
from
the
player.
3. Slightly reduce
the sensitivity of
the
trigger if it has an
adjustment.
If
you play
with
a
looser
head, try this:
1.
Firmly mount the
trigger to the shell
approximately 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
plaved
a rimshot.
