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

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 :/

No, these are different in a way. the Red Shots use the same blue foam with piezo attached as the DDrum Pros.

IIRC, the drum dial triggers are more like these:

rubber coated piezo element with a 1/4" cable attached. And then the metal casing is seperate and there is a piece of foam over the top to protect them and I don't believe they use adhesive like the Pulses.

the 3rd pic in that ebay auction shows the elements themselves.

The biggest concern I'd have with using 1/4" trigger jacks would be when I run them straight to my interface. On the Profire 2626, when you use 1/4" line ins, it bypasses the preamps and you cannot adjust the gain of the input. So if these put out a hot signal, you cannot attenuate it on the Profire.

There's an article in the latest tape op that discusses making your own reverb and part of it talks about making trigger type deals on the cheap from Radio Shack parts.

The only thing I don't like about the ones that Andy posted are that it looks like you have to take out a tension rod to attach it. I'd prefer a clamp style so they can be easily moved from one kit to another.

I just ordered a set of 5 of the Drumdial triggers (just triggers, not with the Trigger Guard housing) and I am going to mount them on my broken DDrum triggers Best of both worlds! Anyone have any broken DDrums they want to donate??

Hey Guys,

Apologies about the soldering, first time.
