Description ddrum Acoustic Pro Triggers Background Existing drum sensors consisting of piezo elements applied to the head of an acoustic drum have not been perceived as giving a "natural response". After analyzing the wave form patterns from acoustic drums, Clavia has created a patented transducer solution using vectored amplitude measurements (VAM). Other problems include double triggering ( strike the drum once and hear additional unwanted strikes) and crosstalk ( strike Tom 1 and Tom 2 plays too). Two other common problems with conventional triggers are: durability (when hit them accidentally they can break) and unreliable mounting methods. Triggers mounted using adhesives can accidentally separate from the drumhead. Clavias patented trigger solves these problems.ddrumTriggers adds a new dimension to drumming In the studio, for example, hook up drum Triggers to existing acoustic drums and connect them to soundmodule. can combine great drum sounds with MIDI information almost instantly. On the road, custom-tailor acoustic sound with the digital studio sounds in ddrum sound module. Whether in studio sessions or on the road, the ddrum Triggers are the perfect choice for the demanding drummer. A new standard for triggers With their superb tracking ability, ddrum Triggers set a new standard for trigger microphones. With absolutely no adhesives required, the ddrum triggers clamp onto the sides of standard drumhoops. The specially designed transducer is softly pressed against the drumhead. The advantages are obvious: can change drum heads over and over without damaging the transducer. The metal casing protects the trigger from accidental drumhits. The ultra-light pressure of the transducer against the head prevents any "damping" effect. The XLR output ensures a reliable connection.Three types of triggers The ddrumTriggers come in three different models and fit standard drum rim/hoops: Tom Tom, Kickdrum and a special ddrum Trigger for the Snare, with a separate sensor for the Rim. Note: The snare trigger can also be used on tom toms.Try out the ddrumTriggers They are perfect for the demanding musician. They are rugged, roadworthy and very easily removable. When using ddrumTriggers with a ddrum sound module it sounds like 're playing a perfectly miked drumkit. The ddrum triggers is protected by US patent # 5 345:037. Other countries patent pending.Separate sensor for the rimPlaying dynamics are recognized in a "natural way," allowing for a realistic dynamic response across the entire drumhead (from the center of the head to the rim)Double triggering problems are reducedThe special design trigger reduces cross-talk problemsTogether with ddrum sound modules, cross talk and double triggering are totally eliminated.
