DDrum VS TDrum

[~BURNY~]

DDrum set:
DDRUM DDTKIT AKUSTIK TRIGGER SET PRO
TDrum set:
TDRUM TRIGGER SET KOMPLETT

They look very similar but the price is significantly different.
Discuss.

One is made by DDrum, the other isn't.

[~BURNY~]

Haha! No shit!

Those TDrum triggers look just like a crappy Shiner trigger I used once... it lasted about half an hour. Had it changed and the second lasted...
- dramatic pause -
half an hour.
Chassis is in plastic while DDrum is metal; wires aren't soldered, they just spit on them to keep 'em together; the transducer is as sensible as my granny's ass. It just fell apart (the trigger, not my grandma's ass!), if you want something that just might last a bit, go for DDrum, or Roland...

The description says:
"Rugged Metal Housing". In fact they look identical to DDrum's one...

just going off of the pics they do look almost identical to the ddrum trigs, interesting.

50 euros a significant difference in cost? Save 50 euros more and get the ddrums. haven't crapped out on me ONCE in over 2 years. and still I don't see any marks of wear(done touring and gigging and recording...)

 

[~BURNY~]

50 euros is one extra piece so yes, it's significant in my book and I can't see any good reason why I should pay more just to have the exact same stuff in red.

 

[KnifeVariable]

Burny, they're basically the same. And supposedly even licensed by DDrum/Clavia/Armadillo.

shit, didn't see your earlier post

Just a question about the trigger heads, are they heads with intergrated triggers or do you just couple the head with a trigger?

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Anyone interested in buying Roland triggers ?

...missed that part, even though I was talking about the Shiners.
If you go for 'em, give us impressions!

I think they're just mesh heads made by Triggerhead.

Btw, has anyone tried any mesh heads, is the feeling you get from playing them close enough to the real thing and how quiet are they?

 

[Andy Sneap]

mesh heads are pretty silent and they work ok.

I'd go for the TDrum, I've had plenty of DDrum triggers die on me, and the transducers are replaceable.

And best bit is they're black!

 

[Soundlurker]

Thanks for the reply!

I'm wondering if I can (theoretically) record drums in my apartment with those mesh heads + triggers and not get visited by the police. Cymbals shouldn't be hard to isolate as they are mainly high frequencies, right?

See!!! Black is coooooooool!!!

"Licenced by DDrum"

edit: but if you compare that the Tdrum set costs 175 euros and Ddrum set is 219 euros, which one you choose?

 

[Metaltastic]

Hahaha, you're a little late to the party Ahj

Or in the words of Sloan...NECROTHREAD

Don't care about the party, my question was legimate, thinking of getting myself a set of triggers.

 

[Metaltastic]

Oh, I thought it was a rhetorical question
