I am looking to try adding electronic drum triggers to my acoustic drum set but would like some advice before diving in. I have an old V-pro kit I’ve been using for composition work, but would like to keep that kit in the studio. The idea of adding acoustic triggers is to use them for live sound reinforcement rather than miking up my old kit or spending $2000-3000 on a new kit, plus all the added versatility and volume control samples provide (already using Superior drummer samples in our music).
I’m looking at the ddrum DD1 Drum Module and RedShot Trigger Pack http://www.guitarcenter.com/ddrum-DD…93-i1746147.gc to test out this idea, but am worried they will be so poor that it will unfairly turn me off to the whole idea. The other option looks like the DRT Trigger Kit http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc…igger_Kit.html or Roland’s RT-10S Acoustic Snare Trigger, toms, and bass drum set http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RT10K/, which would require me to use my TD-10 from my composition kit. This would be fine, except for the problem that I cannot save two sets of kit configurations in the TD-10, so going back and forth between e-drums and acoustic e-drums would be a pain. The only solution for this road that I’ve found is getting the TMC-6 Trigger to MIDI Converter http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc…r_to_MIDI.html, but that brings the total for the “experiment” to $600 or more.
Any advice on which triggers work best, or best brand for the buck would be great. Also, any advice on any converter units would also be extremely helpful.
Thanks!
