Are Pulse Red Hots Triggers any good? They're just so cheap that they seem like crap. Good? If not, do you recommend any brand/kind in particular?

Look cheap....
They do look cheap and are prone to falling off if not securely attached. (happened to a drummer at a show i saw, took em 15 min to get it back on, funny)
I have used the DDrum red shot trigers on my acoustic set for a while now. The only problem i found was that the actual wires that connect to the head trigger are on the outside. so if you happen to slip or lets say you let someone, a guitarist who doesnt know how to play drums, thrash on your set and he accidently hits the trigger, good luck fixing it.
They do mount to the Rods so they are really sturdy and easily bent so that you can put them on almost any head rim.

I'd also be interested in finding some decent and relatively inexpensive triggers. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Roland supposidly makes really good ones, but I don't know if you would call them cheap!

Avoid Roland
Roland's suck.
I do recommend DDrum triggers. The cheaper Triggers from DDrum are 99.00USD for 5 triggers (1 BD 4 snare/toms)
The expensive ones are like 270.oo for 3 toms 1 snare and one bass drum. They have XLR connecters so that is prob. why they are more and they hang over the drum instead of protrude outward.
I havn't used the expensive DDrum triggers so I can't comment on their quality.
Im using my triggers with an Alesis DM5 Module.

Do you have clips of drums that you have recorded using triggers?
I am thinking about doing this, but want to know if you have troubles with the triggers (missing beats, or double beats).
Did you use accoustic cymbals or electric ones?

Nope
I havn't recorded anything using the triggers. I use them during practice and shows, we have some songs where some wierd $h!t is in order.
you will have problems with them double triggering if you just plug them in and don't take the time to calibrate them.
All of that stuff is done with the module, not the trigger. So it really depends on the module.
I don't have electronic cymbals, yet. Pretty soon (once i get my studio together) i will be getting some and doing all that fun recording junk.

what do you mean when you say you get some wierd stuff going on?
I would take the time to calibrate it properly, but I want it to work properly. I hate nothing more than to fix stuff that doesn't work consistently.
I have been looking into some of these:

What do you think?
Has anyone used them before?
