Tim, do the DDrum triggers track well with the major modules (Roland, Yamaha, etc). I've used the Harts and have been satisfied, but I'm always looking for an excuse to upgrade.
Must --- buy --- more ----gear!!!
I personally feel that the ddrum triggers are the best on the market. You've got to figure, almost every major act is using them live (look on the tops of the toms-I'm seeing them all the time now).
And I've used them both with a ddrum setup (I have a set of ddrums from the 80's which are what the hair band EUROPE (remember "The Final Countdown"?) used.
So, it;'s not a "current" ddrum unit-but they worked fine with that, and It worked better than the Hart's with my DM5.
So, I'veusedthem on both a ddrum sound source and an Alesis...and the ddrum triggers were better on both units.
I think the key to any of these units, is learning the parameters...and unfortunately most drummers aren't willing to take the time to do it, or have no interest in it...or they get frustrated with it and go "that's good enough".
I think the ddrum trigger is vastly superior to any EXTERNAL triggering system on the market.
Having said that, I think that the Space Muffins INTERNAL system is better-but it's also a alot more money, - AND once the conversion is done, the drum is useless as a "drum"; for all intents and purposes-it becomes an "Acoustic drum shaped trigger pad".
