Mounting The Drum Trigger
• Set up your drums, making sure that any trigger-mounted drum is NOT in contact with another
drum or stand. Vibrations transmitted from such direct contact can cause unwanted triggering.
• Make sure the snare drum is secure in its stand.
• Muffling (muting) of the drums can help reduce excess vibrations of the drum trigger, which will
improve triggering accuracy.
We recommend using a conventional bass drum mute or blanket pressing against the head. For
the snare drum, use a ring muffler with the area where the sensor touches the head cut out as
shown in the diagram below.
• Correct setting of the percussion sound module’s trigger parameters will ensure the best dynamic
response.
• Vibrations from other drums being played or drum resonance can cause sounds to be triggered
accidently. Spacing the drums a bit farther apart, placing them on separate stands, muffling, and/
or changing the tuning can improve trigger response.
If after doing any of those suggested procedures you still have problems, re-adjust the trigger
parameters (p. 14).
• Loud sounds from monitor speakers can also cause unwanted triggering. Change the angle of the
speakers or move them further away from the drum kit. If unwanted triggering continues, re-
adjust the trigger parameters (p. 14).
