No worries trigger

No problem making this work. Kick triggers are one of the easiest triggers to work with, often right out of the box with none or minimal tweaking. At least..that's my experience.

I especially bought this to take along to rehearsal studio's with already a drumkit present including kickpedal, so I can leave my laser trigger Dominator pedal at home. Saves me another bag.

It always works. I have used it on 2 types of wood hoops (Tama and Sonor).
So far it always fits and works as it should.
I haven't had this on steel hoops.

I don't experience double triggering with this.
Velocity feels the same as my laser trigger.

Doesn't come loose either.
Triggers an Alesis Strike Multipad.
Mostly kick samples hybrid with the acoustics, sometimes dedicated as a dedicated kick sound.
All mono TS cables I so far tried on this thing work, wether it's Drum-Tech transparent cables, brandless, different cheap patch cables, it doesn't matter.

Fyi: I place it at eleven o'clock on the batter side, easily connected with the multipad on the utter left (left from the hi-hat) with a TS cable.
At home it's triggering a Tama Metro Jam Vintage 18" bass drum with the cheapest aftermarket made in Taiwan Remo clear skin on it, with still the factory Tama resonance skin at front.

The kettle is muffled with a Pearl cushion right against the batter skin, with some foam touching the resonance skin when I want it dry, removing only the foam when I want it to sing a little more.
My tuning is low-to low-medium, but never floppy.

Placement on totally different, bigger bass-drum from other brands, doesn't make any difference for its performance, as I experienced.

Solid, heavy trigger, insert jack plug feels like it's forged with the trigger itself.
Nothing wiggles or rattles, it's massive.
A real looker too.
The trigger mechanism is always a little more fragile.
Its has a miniscule strength spring on the inside that compresses the foam against the skin when you tighten the trigger on the rim. Which is a 1-knob simple but very effective design.
It's well protected during operation, but because of the explosed foam in that mounting gap, of course you can't just dump these afterwards in a transport bag "together with the rest".
INo, pamper these like you would all electronics, protected in a little hardshell case with cutaway foam, and they will serve you for a long time.

The chrome is really industrial.
While the BD-version won't encounter stick hits, it's good to know that I've hit the snare version of this trigger with my stick occasionally, hard, but it doesn't leave any marks.
It's so bomb proof that it's totally protected from outside bumps.

I have reviewed the Yamaha DT-50s snare trigger also, in which I have provided more details as how I experience these.
Both reviews are written after more then a year of usage in all kinds of situations, including live gigs.

Perfect match
KelBel 20.05.2018
I've been so pleased with this trigger, it goes perfect with my Yamaha DTX multi-12 and I now got a bad ass hybrid kit which works flawless on both studio-sessions and live-concerts.
I had to crank the velocity response on the multi-12 up a bit, but that was just because of the drumpad and not of the trigger.
Ones again a brilliant product by Yamaha!

Rubust but not very dynamic
AntonioCTD 31.08.2019
This unit is very well built.
But the dynamics and articulation responce is not as good as the DDrum ones...

Particulier...
ddrummer88 23.06.2021
Je l'ai installé sur la grosse caisse d'une pearl export, il y a quelques soucis d'imprécisions de frappes, j'ai du mettre une peau pinstripe et régler le DTX12 de Yamaha à un max de vélocité pour avoir un résultat probant, les nuances ne sont pas terribles, ce serai bien de le signaler avant j'y ai passé 4 heures... Sinon il fait le boulot pour du rock sans triples croches, finalement rien de tel qu'un pad, car si la peau n'est pas tendue le trigger répond mal ou alors il faut cogner comme une brute... déçu du produit, il me servira pour un gong tom et déclancheur de loops.
