High Quality Solution for Triggering my Kick Drum

I purchased a combination of Roland triggers to use with Remo Silent Stroke heads as a practice setup. The triggers work very well with the Silent Stroke heads as well as standard acoustic heads. As with all of my Roland gear, these triggers are high quality and function exactly as advertised. The only thing I cannot speak to is durability, since I've only had them for a short time. If they are like all my other Roland equipment, I expect they'll last for a while. I am pleased with the triggers and would recommend them to others.

Roland RT-30K Kick Drum Trigger

First gig with this trigger on my 20" Slingerland kick drum, using my KV-17 controller. Wow! it tracked perfectly with no false triggering. I didn't even need to make any setting adjustment. Worked like a charm. Guess I might need to try out the tom triggers next. Thanks Sweetwater and Roland!

ROLAND RT-30K DRUM TRIGGER

This trigger is awesome for my kick drum! It has very great response and is easy to install. Currently for all my drum heads i have ddrum triggers which get the job done, but i will be upgrading to Rolands very soon! Must Buy!

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
