Trigger Sensitivity
Trigger sensitivity is a funny thing. it can be done very accurately now due to some enhancements in the modules. You have various parameters that are changable to suit the player. You can control how hard of a hit it takes to trigger the drum, that way it can tell the difference between say, a bump and an actual hit. AS well there are cross talk parameters that you set so as not to allow other drum hits and vibrations to set of adjacent triggers. You can also set the volume of your triggered sound, say you got some gimp who can't play double bass with consistant loudness hits from both feet, you can have the triggered sound for both bass drums locked at a certain volume, or you can leave it so the hits differ in volume depending upon th velocity that you hit the drum. In other words it will leave more dynamics in the playing. . These are all things that differ greatly on the player, thier ability, and the kit itself. For my self in order to make my drums track and trigger perfectly i have the, "dreaded under the head dampeners" which i think kick ass. My drums have tons of punch, no shitty overtones, and just enough sustain. But it controls a little more of the vibrations that way. If you are into metal you should get into triggers, tons, and tons, and tons of bands use triggers...mainly on snare, and bass drum, but sometimes on toms as well. Another cool function of having a drum module, you can track a persons drums acoustically, and if a certain drum, for instance the bass drum sounds like shit you can use your module in a loop type thing and it will replace your old drum hits. Most people on this forum don't like triggers because they do not know how to properly attain dynamics, and consistancy in a balance with them. If used correctly and mixed with acoustic drums you can acheive a totally convincing proffessional sound with triggered drums. Always use some real cymbals. Hope this helps, there are some resources on triggers that i will give you, or at least steer you in the direction of anyway. Later
