"My drum kit is dense and I can't have big cumbersome triggers in the way of my sticks. Pintech has the essential piezo protected in a small sturdy cover and nothing else to get in the way, so I can mount them inside or outside the shell or on the head of a bass drum and they do the job with out interfering my playing. They stick on easily & conveniently anywhere you want them to". - Terry Bozzio Features: Head or shell mount capability Features Pintech's exclusive mounting disc that allows the free-floating chamber to move freely with the drum head and not damage it. Excellent sensitivity and response "Kwik Klip" mounting system Specifically designed for acoustic or mesh heads American made by Pintech

Review: Works surprisingly well with Quiet Tone practice pad. - I have a recording studio in my detached garage. I don’t need to be silent (if I did, I’d buy an e-kit) but my girlfriend noted she could hear my kick and snare carrying from the garage into the house. This was with rockwool and other acoustic treatment in the studio and a couple yards between the garage and the house. I don’t like the feeling of mesh heads so decided to try a Quiet Tone practice pad with a drum trigger. I bought this trigger and a DDRUM interface off of eBay and routed it to MT Powerkit (a free VST) on my PC. I had to crank the threshold a bit because I’m using a practice pad but I got it working pretty well. Will definitely use this for practice sessions going forward. I also recommend the RTOM Black Holes with a trigger for your kick drum.
Review: Good drum trigger! - It works well at a very reasonable price!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could I mount this on the front of a cajon and use it as a bass drum pedal?**
A: i bet you could! it's fairly vibration sensitive, so if you assign a kick to the trigger input, i bet even tapping the cajon would trigger the sound. might have to turn your trigger sensitivity up on the drum brain, but i think pretty much anything from Alesis, Yamaha, Roland, KAT, etc would work (maybe not ddrum). it would probably work whether you used hand or an actual pedal to strike the cajon. place where vibration potential is greatest (close to strike area). they're not super sensitive, so light fingertips might not trigger it, but any reasonable thump should be fine.

**Q: does it work with regular standard drum heads?**
A: Yes.
It’s just a tiny microphone inside a sticky helmet.

Works better for midi triggering than raw audio recording.

**Q: Does this work well on Remo Silent stroke drum heads?**
A: no idea. but anything it is attached to will trigger it. the more vibration, the more responsive it is. but it also has a trigger threshold, so it needs a minimum amount of vibration to trigger, so subtle stuff is mostly not going to happen. it's ok for a certain range of distinct hit on the surface it is attached to. sensitivity on your brain will help as well. you get what you pay for in terms of sensitivity, but it does it's job for most applications from drum heads to plastic cymbals.jsut don't expect subtlety in your playing.

**Q: Does the trigger come with the cables to connect directly to the module?**
A: No it does not.  You just use a quarter inch cable to connect to a module

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good drum trigger!
*by E***T on July 6, 2024*

It works well at a very reasonable price!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than I expected
*by R***E on November 26, 2019*

I started playing on a cheap e-drum, but always wanted an acoustic set, even though i would be playing it all muted down. I purchased Remo silent stroke heads and some Zildjian L80 low volume cymbals. They worked great, but i still wanted to be able to play with my headphones on sometimes. So using my cheap e-drum brain with other triggers on the toms and snare etc that was working fine, but those triggers didn't work on the cymbals. Then i came across these. Figured i'd give them a try. So I mounted these under the cymbal and then dropped a mute pad on the top. Worked like a charm for my specific needs.
