3.Use a high sensitivity setting if the trigger has an adjustment.
SMALL TOMS 8'L13''
With smaller toms it is possible to get proper tracking using either head or shell mounting. You will need to experiment with both to determine which will work best in your situation.
For head mounting:
1.Mount the trigger so that it is within one and
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 played a rimshot. (In some casesthe opposite side of the drum, directly across from the player may work well).
3.Slightly reduce the sensitivity of the trigger if it has an adiustment.
For shell nounting:
1.Firmly mount the trigger to the shell so that it is approximately one inch from the batter rim.
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 played a rimshot
3.Use a mid to high sensitivity setting if the trigger has an adjustment.
LARGE TOMS
In most casesshell mounting will work the best. However, you might experiment with head mounting and find great results.
1.Firmly mount the trigger to the shell so that it is approximately one inch from the batter rim.
2.Placement of the trigger should be near the side you sit, within a lug or two of where your stick would hit if you played a rimshot
