This permanent form of mounting allows the trigger to be more firmly attached to the shell, which tends to improve the performance.

Muffling

Another important part of triggering from acoustic drums is the degree of muffling you apply to your drums. The amount a head vibrates when it is struck is what causesmost of the problems related to triggering from an acoustic drum. I know most drummers don'twant to put a lot of tape or muffling on their heads, but the degree of improvement it makes may be well worth at least a little sacrifice. A slight amount of muffling can make a huge improvement in any triggering units ability to properly track your playing.

Mounting Hardware and Configuration

The quality and sturdiness of your hardware will make a big difference in eliminating potential problems. When you use unsteady hardware, it is an open invitation to crosstalk problems. Toms that are mounted on the bass drum, and drums which share a stand with other instruments such as cymbals, are areas where you should be sure your hardware and mountings are solid and sturdy. Always check to be certain that none of your stands or drums are leaning up against, or touching any other drums or piece of hardware. To sum it up, the more heavy-duty your hardware is, the better.
