Drum Pads and Triggers

Electric drum pads and triggers can be used with your electronic drum module or percussion pad to expand your number of playing surfaces. Drum pads can be in the style of snares, toms, cymbals and hi-hats, and play just like the real thing but at only a fraction of the volume. Triggers are designed to clip onto your acoustic drum so it can be used in the same way as a drum pad: hit your drum and the trigger instantly tells your drum module to play a sound. When used with acoustic drums this process is generally used for layering sounds on top of or underneath the natural sound of your drums in an effort to enhance them. However it is possible to use mesh pads with your acoustic shells to achieve the look of an acoustic drum kit, with the reduced volume and functionality of an electric drum kit.
