ddrum Trigger question

[mmetalmilitiaa]

I haven't found a clear answer for this.

I'm using drumagog to replace my drummers kick sound. Right now I'm running a mic from the kick to a preamp and then using drumagog after the fact.

What I would like to do is get a ddrum kick trigger and run that into the preamp and record that and then use drumagog to play the sample.

If I run the ddrum trigger into a preamp will I get a "click" sound or anything recordable that I could use for drumagog?

Don't know 100% but I am pretty sure that yes since a trigger itself is a piezo pickup you should get a signal that you could then run through drumagog.

thanks for the quick reply!

I guess if it doesn't work I'll just return it

 

[Gnash]

Don't return it! That's exactly how it works! Click is good! OT tip: Don't run phantom power to the trigger.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is how Andy does it.

yes put the trigger out into a preamp and record the trigger sound, the trigger produce a clicky sound, and this is good becouse drumagog will trigger that click sound great without any problem..... ( the sound of triggers are very clean )

 

[Eduardo Apolonia]

With the ddrum click sounds there is no bleed like if you use a mic, so replacing is better and easier.

hmmm the sound of DDrums triggers is clean
the roland ones are shit

 

[Tachy]

greyskull: I have the new roland kick trigger and it works fucking good.

Anyone ever bought a cheap ass pre-amp just to adat to my main rig and plug the DDrum triggers into? I was thinking about doing this recently. Good idea or bad idea? Any reccomendations on a unit to do this?

 

[greyskull]

rewally?
the ones ive used have been awful,
we're well sessioned, but i find the ddrums have a cleaner signal

DDrum snare trigger sounds like this.
