Anyone who owns a DDRUM trigger want to do me a favor?

[AllanD]

Take a pic of the internals, focused mainly on the XLR connections?

[AllanD]

Thanks a lot man! Could you clariy something for me though?

Is that 4 pins? Or is the very top piece of metal not connected to anything?

 

[AdamWathan]

4 pins, blue wire is connected to the 3 on the outside, red wire is connected just to the pin on the inside!

 

[AllanD]

Fucking awesome man, I really appreciate this.


DIY triggers on the way

This is why this forum is cool.

Awesome. Are you using the drum mic clamps that you said in the other thread? And which Transducer are you using, the actual DDRUM replacements?

+fuckin' 1000

What a waste of XLR. Just use a 1/4" plug. Unless you have a ton of XLR cables to use, then that would be more beneficial for you.

 

[AllanD]

Exactly it, I have no instrument cables except for one.

if any of you guys are looking for good cheap triggers check these out, I actually prefer them.

Looks interesting. For the DIY ones I want to make, the total would pretty much be the same price as those you just showed. Are they more accurate than the DDRUM triggers, Mr. Sneap?

 

[Andy Sneap]

they seem to work great and be more solid

 

[AllanD]

Awesome, thanks for the advice! Looks like that deposit I'm getting soon will be well spent. One last question, I'm reading that the drums need to be muffled in order for the triggers to work correctly, I've seen videos of guys literally stuffing the drums with pillows and whatnot. How do you feel about this? Do you think any of it is really necessary?

 

[Andy Sneap]

no

 

[AllanD]

Excellent, thank you very much.

 

[DeclanWhite]

when i saw the thread title, i was gunna take a pic.

then i saw someone already did, so i was gunna say how i am doing the exact same thing and building triggers at the moment.

then andy goes and suggests those cheap triggers and now im just sad haha

 

[KillFrenzy]

I found out these triggers last week. I think I HAVE to buy them now

 

[AdamWathan]

Aren't the ones Andy linked to pretty much exactly like the DDrum Redshot triggers? (not being a dick! Legitimately wondering on the difference and what makes these ones better!) If the wiring from the piezo to the jack is more secure and solid though then they look like a fantastic option, it's DDrum's cheap wiring method that causes them to break all the time :/

Yep to the clamps I posted and I am using the radioshack piezo, I'll post pics of how they come out.
