Triggers for Kick, Snare, and Toms

With acoustic-drum triggering more popular now than ever, Roland has responded to requests from the market and created these triggers: the RT-10K (for kick drums), RT-10S (for snare drums), and RT-10T (for toms). Physically smaller than their predecessors, the RT-10 series triggers are easier to position. Best of all, they feature trigger-sensing technology for improved response.

Play MIDI Modules From an Acoustic Set!

The TMC-6 Trigger MIDI Converter makes it easy to play and trigger MIDI modules and samplers from an acoustic drum set, or expand the sound palette of electronic drum sets. This affordable device uses accurate and reliable V-Drums triggering technology, allowing acoustic drummers to “play” electronic sounds from their favorite MIDI module, or for V-Drums owners to expand their trigger inputs.

Supported Sound Modules: TD-20, TD-12, TD-9, TD-3, SPD-20, SPD-S

*If you need dual triggering for head and rim on toms, please use the RT-10S instead of the RT-10T.

*Regarding the sound module with dual trigger compatible input, please refer to "Sound Module and Drum Pad Combinations" on the pages 38 - 39 of this catalog.

Using the RT-10 Series and TMC-6

Works Great with the RT/TD-Series

The TMC-6 Trigger MIDI Converter makes it easy to play and trigger MIDI modules and samplers from an acoustic drum set equipped with Roland’s RT-series triggers, or to expand the sound palette of electronic drum sets. This affordable device uses the lightning-fast triggering technology of Roland’s V-Drums for reliable triggering and super-accurate dynamics.

6 Trigger Inputs for Maximum Versatility

The TMC-6 includes six trigger inputs compatible with all Roland drum pads or acoustic drum triggers (an FD-8 Hi-Hat Control Pedal can also be connected). With V-Drums technology built-in, the TMC-6 provides reliable and fast response, plus separate head/rim triggering with dual-trigger V-Pads, such as the PD-125/105/85, and 3-way triggering with the CY-15R and CY-12R/C V-Cymbals. Trigger settings can be stored to 12 user-memory locations.
