triggering. Most of the trigger manufacturers supply several pieces of mounting tape with their trigger products. It is also very important to be certain that no part of the trigger wire, which connects the trigger to the audio jack, is touching or resting on any part of the drum or rim. This wire is sensitive enough to trigger signals from the drum vibrations which would then cause double triggering.
Trigger Placement
Placement is another very important part of triggering performance, but unfortunately there is no right or wrong set of rules. It simply takes a lot of experimentation to arrive at the correct combination for the type and size of drum, and the drum kit configuration you are using. These tips will help you get started with a step in the right direction.
BASS DRUM
1.Mount the trigger directly on the impact head.
2.Place the trigger approximately
3.Slightly reduce the sensitivity of the trigger if it has an adjustment.
SNARE DRUM
If you play with a fairly tight batter head, try this:
1.. Mount the trigger on the batter head.
2.Place the trigger approximately one inch from the rim, on the opposite side of the drum from the player.
3.Slightly reduce the sensitivity of the trigger if it has an adjustment.
If you play with a looser head, try this:
1.Firmly mount the trigger to the shell approximately
2.Placement of the trigger should be on the players side of the drum, within a lug or two of where the stick would hit if you plaved a rimshot.
