Description

With exceptional trigger sensitivity, ultra-quick installation, and compatibility with the latest drum hardware, the streamlined RT-30 series sets a new standard for anyone wanting to explore hybrid drumming. Ideal for use on snare drums, the RT-30HR supports independent head and rim triggering for playing two different sounds from the same drum. The RT-30HR also incorporates a newly developed self-guided mount that automatically sets the sensor in the optimum position against the drumhead, with no fussy mechanical adjustment needed after mounting.

The RT-30 series of acoustic drum triggers brings more variety and versatility to your basic acoustic drum kit. Attaching a trigger to a standard drum lets you play sounds from an external electronic device, such as a Roland TM-2 Trigger Module, just by striking the head normally. This hybrid approach allows you to creatively enhance your live performances in many ways, such as adding electronic sounds for playing current music styles or layering custom samples with acoustic drums to achieve the processed punch heard on studio recordings.

  • Compatible with Roland’s TM-2 Trigger Module, TD-series V-Drums sound modules, and SPD-series percussion pads

Drum Kits

Drum kits are the core of modern drumming, bringing together bass drum, snare, toms, cymbals, and hardware into a single playable instrument. A complete kit allows a drummer to cover rhythm, dynamics, and texture, forming the foundation of a band’s groove in styles ranging from rock and pop to jazz, metal, funk, and electronic-influenced music.

Drum kits come in many configurations and materials, including compact setups for small spaces, standard five-piece kits, and larger multi-tom arrangements. Shell materials such as maple, birch, mahogany, and hybrid constructions each influence tone, projection, and response. Acoustic kits are chosen for their natural feel and sound, while electronic and hybrid kits offer volume control, sound flexibility, and integration with modern music production.

Choosing a drum kit involves balancing sound, size, hardware quality, and playing style. Whether for practice, recording, or live performance, a well-matched drum kit provides consistent tuning, comfortable ergonomics, and a musical response that supports the drummer and the music they play.

Each part of the kit works together to provide pulse, dynamics, accents, and movement, allowing the drummer to shape groove, timing, and energy.
