Thank you Wanja for this userful information. I have one question, for you or any kind person willing to share: Is there ANY difference between this kind of triggering and electronic pads regarding input lag/latency (even in miliseconds)? My purpose is as first option use the drum module's MIDI out to my laptop PC running Superior Drummer 3 for triggering those kits. If anyone shows me some light and points that lag/latency is present, I would go to the second option: load custom samples to the module. (PD: I use the laptop PC for other instruments, etc so it's necessary) I'll be attentive to your response. THANK YOU!

I'll share my story. I don't play extreme metal, but rather boring stuff like hard/alternative rock and at most fast-pace heavy metal. I found myself in a situation where all my bandmates from all my bands upgrade their sound and make the music sound better and better and even though my drums are really good, I can't go much further. When I go out on stage it often turns out the sound engineer didn't really get the drum sound right more of then than they do. As a result I migrated to a full electronic drum set with just the bass drum being an acoustic one (doesn't move on stage and it's a 24" and it has to look good after all) and I have that triggered to the module too. It made a world of difference - no feedback issues on stage and we can balance the sound and hear everything exactly how we want it to be, I have perfect and consistent sounds every time and we sound great. On cheating - there's no cheating in music. After all we're all musicians and even if you press buttons on a drum machine once in a while and just sit there, as long as it's for the sake of music I'll never judge.

The band's called Nash'te Hora. On youtube we got only 1 video up from April last year. It's a Bulgarian band - our songs are mostly in Bulgarian, but if you wanna hear 2 english songs - they start at the 25 min mark. If you were looking for an electronic drum set video demo, you're out of luck sorry. When you have to share a drumset with another band most drummers tend to insist they bring their own ac. set.

Nice tutorial. Agreed on every aspect of what you said. I can add some more info from drummer / sound engineer perspective. Triggering kick drum @ live performance is almost standard this times in metal music. Lets face it - you don't need any dynamics on your kick drum in death or black metal (and many other genres) - its almost binary 0 or 1 in this matter. When you hit - it has to be consistent in volume and clearly audbile with nice SNAP attack. Try to get good snappy, clear, consitent kick drum sound with kick mic on small stage in club, where bass player has his 6x10 cab cranked up, which makes bass drum shell resonate. Of course you can use fast gate, compression and envelope filter, but believe me - this will work until you start to play fast double kick, when gate never closes, its one big muddy HUM of bass frequency, no attack, no snap, your kick drum simply disappear in whole mix. Side chaining kick with bass guitar doesn't help at all. If you use trigger - there is no problem at all (using it on bass drum). Not to mention you dont have to worry about bass drum tuning. In studio you have plenty of time, silent room, great audio gear etc. You can dial very good kick sound using mic and sub-mic mixed together. What about volume consistency in fast double kick parts? Well in such enviorment you can compress signal really hard without side effects (opposite to live performance) and it solves that problem. It is common to replace kick drum track with premade samples after recording anyway, just to get best sound that fits good in the mix. People (who have little knowledge) consider triggering is cheating because they're confusing it with MIDI output from drum module and quantizing hits to actual tempo map (in DAW after recording or in real time via drum module with tempo map and quantize option). You don't even need drum module to do that in those days in realtime. In such situation (quantizing hits to grid) it is cheating and everyone will agree on that.

And second, I think triggers are useful, they can improve your sound a lot in a live situation (using them alone or even in a mix with the bass drum), and can be used in a studio to create a gate to control bleed during a recording (Glen Fricker's great idea!).

Not even close. Drumming is much more physicall and the extent you can do with triggers to make you basically not need to drum is insane. You can set it so when you hit the drum once it doubles the sound so 1 hit makes 2 hits, or you can make the sound increase hard enough that you can just tickle the bass drum and it will produce a good sound, no need for technique, my little sister could play that.

From an engineers stand point it’s nice to use both a mic on the kick and a trigger. You can blend the two sounds together and get even cooler kick sound with the depth of the acoustic kick and the attack of the trigger.

Hey, maybe someone can help me. I have the Roland td 25 Module and a Yamaha dtx 50 trigger for my bassdrum. I have the sensitivity all the way up and the curve set to loud, but there is still volume dynamics. This leads to normal hits sounding very loud and softer hits sounding standard loud. How can I achieve that it actually sounds the same? It's very important due to my heel toe technique, where the second hit always is a bit weaker than the first one

You should check out the "Pedaltrigger" triggers that you attach directly onto the pedal, similar to the Axis e-kit system. They have a version for the Demon Drive double pedal. If it works as well as I hope, it could remove all triggering problems and should make for a very short setup time, seeing as it isn't at all dependent on the bass drum.

I think you missed a reason why triggers are needed in death metal, and that is because guitar players and bass players need to hear the bass drum clearly during blast beats, otherwise they will get lost, especially in high tempos, where you can't really hear the bass drum.

@wanjanechtangroeger 7 жыл бұрын

Good point! I think this is even more important for people using single foot blasts at high tempos.

So, with triggers though. Do you have to have them plugged into a speaker system so that others can hear?

@wanjanechtangroeger 7 жыл бұрын

During band rehearsals or when playing live the drum module is plugged into the PA.

Are these Roland RT 30 triggers compatible with Roland TD 30 module?

Yes - I think everything from Roland will work well with each other.

Hello my friend Wanja..i know that my respond is a bit old but now I'm dealing with this problem..can I use a bass drum trigger directly to my drum module or do I have definitely to use a trigger module as you do??thank you..keep going..

@wanjanechtangroeger 5 жыл бұрын

I think "drum module" and "trigger module" are the same thing.

the threshold seems a bit high for me, personally I put mine at about 18. If I was using a trick laser trigger, I'd have the threshold on as low of a setting as possible without sacrificing the feel for the slower parts.

hi wanja, just wanna ask u on how do i save my own preferred kick drum sound and also is there any websites that i could download it from?..need help on this as i hv difficulties on picking my own kick sound...and yeah, i play drums for a death metal band... :)

@farizazmi1680 7 жыл бұрын

ohhh yaaa...by the way, i use exactly the same trigger head and drum module as yours + axis classic longboard pedals.

@wanjanechtangroeger 7 жыл бұрын

I don' know if there is a website for that - I used the stock sounds on my module for a while and later put the bass drum sound from the last Negator album on my module. You can also record one strong bass drum hit and then EQ it until it sounds good and then cut it in a way that the main attack is really at the beginning of the sample. I think the TM-2 needs the sample to have certain specifications (like sample rate etc) - check out the manual for that. So you export your selfmade sample with the required specs and then put it on a SD card wich you put into your module and it sould work.

I notice you add in a bit of a swivel to your bass drum moeller strokes, is it something you think about?

@wanjanechtangroeger 6 жыл бұрын

I don't do it on purpose. And it only happens at the beginning of a double bass roll and when I do short groups of notes. When I play for several bars my feet don't swivel around - I think it is more my feet trying to get into the movement and finding the right position.

@FerretPercussion 6 жыл бұрын

Pretty much what you're doing then is dropping the leg (relaxing) to get a note and rebound, and then pointing the ball of the foot (tensing) to get the in between notes? When you're working on speed with this technique, what things do you think about in your technique to keep rebound going? Where do you avoid putting pressure with muscles, and where do you intend to put it? Thanks for taking the time to reply, been trying to nail this technique all weekend.
