Ddrum acoustic pro triggers question

[kickinwing65]

Why does it seem that every time I have a band come at least one of these breaks. I had about 4 of those replacement things for it and used them all up. now they raised the price on them... is there a cheaper fix from like radio shack or something. I want to stab those greedy bastards

dunno... i've had the same set for 3 years.... they all still work, never replaced anything on them (*knock-on-wood*).

but, i do make sure to place them where they are least likely to get hit, and i tighten them sensibly, rather than cranking them down like i've seen some people do......i also always put them back in the box, rather than jumbled up together in a big pile, which i've also seen often.

honestly, i've been really surprised how long mine have lasted... more than gotten my money's worth.

i know what you are saying, they dont last, we got through 4 on the exodus album, I gave up in the end.
try these, I posted this in another thread.

how did those work out for you andy? i admit, i've had plenty of the Ddrum ones die on me... just none from the set i personally bought about 3 years back.... but yeah, seen enough of them die that those alternatives you linked have piqued my interest.

 

[Andy Sneap]

very good, not had one of these die.

thanks so much Andy, I'll scrape up some cash and get me a set of those.

Whoa, that's cheap to say the least! Thanks for the heads-up, I think I'll grab a set when the next deposit lands on my account.

I just bought a Roland trigger, and I'm quite happy with my purchase, get one if you don't want the wires dangling around.
