5 Before You Start A drum trigger uses a built-in sensor to sense the timing and velocity (force) of how the drum is played. Then these trigger signals and transmitted to the sound module. The RT-10K Kick Trigger and RT-10T tom trigger support head triggering. The RT-10S Snare Trigger supports separate head/rim dual triggering. 1. Mount the drum tr[...]

6 Mounting The Drum Trigger • Set up your drums, making sure that any trigger-mounted drum is NOT in contact with another drum or stand. Vibrations transmitted from such direct contact can cause unwanted triggering. • Make sure the snare drum is secure in its stand. • Muffling (muting) of the drums can help reduce excess vibrations of the dru[...]

7 Mounting The Drum Trigger fig.RT-10K-toritsuke 1. Attach the included hoop guards (2) to the inner and outer sides of the kick drum hoop. • Attach the hoop guards at one of the positions indicated in the figure. We suggest these positions in order to keep the trigger as far away from the snare drum or tom toms as possible. • Make sure the hoo[...]

8 Mounting The Drum Trigger Set the sensor bolt so that the sensor compresses approximately 2–3 mm when pressed against the head. * The position of the secured sensor and the amount of this compression play an important role in the performance of the trigger. * Make sure that the sensor constantly remains in contact with the head, even when playi[...]

9 Setting Trigger Parameters in a Percussion Sound Module Correct trigger type and parameter settings provide accurate triggering. We have included an extensive list of percussion sound modules with their respective parameter settings. Please refer to the charts beginning on page 14. Unlike standard electronic drum pads, mesh or rubber, acoustic dr[...]

10 Setting Trigger Parameters in a Percussion Sound Module retriggering, it then becomes easy for sounds to be omitted when the drums played fast (roll etc.). * Muting the drum can work to suppress disruptions in the trigger waveform. Crosstalk is a problem in which the vibrations and sounds from a drum when it is struck ends up triggering other dr[...]

11 Troubleshooting Normally, you should not have any problems if you have read this manual carefully, followed the instructions and have carefully taken into consideration the multiple variables regarding using drum triggers; type of drum, head, muffling, playing style, acoustic environment etc. • Check all connections, and make sure the trigger [...]

12 Troubleshooting • Is the volume too loud of nearby monitor speakers? • If in a band situation, is the bass amp too close or too loud? • Adjust the “Threshold” value. (p. 9) Separate triggering from the rim is only possible when using the RT-10S snare trigger. • Make sure the cable is Stereo. • Verify that the trigger input you are [...]
