Roland

collapse expand iconDescription

Battery powered and small in size, the TM-2 Trigger Module provides a simple solution for enhancing acoustic drums with the creative versatility of electronic percussion. Two trigger inputs support a wide variety of pads and drum triggers from Roland, while the ready-to-play pro sounds are optimized for augmenting live acoustic drums and extending the percussion capabilities of any drum set. Studio-quality multi-effects are on tap to process your kits, and you can even trigger your own custom WAV sounds, loops, and backing tracks via an SDHC card. By combining the TM-2 with products such as Roland's BT-1 Bar Trigger Pad, KT-10 Kick Trigger Pedal, or RT-series acoustic drum triggers, it's never been easier or more affordable to create a powerful hybrid drum kit that blends acoustic and electronic elements together.

    This trigger module is a little monster. i love playing around with this thing amd configuring it to my liking. Though there aren't that many buttons on the device itself, each one has multiple functions which making it easy to navigate the settings and sounds. the learning curve is a little high for someone with no experience in drum modules, if they are going after custom sounds or tweaking presets. For someone with experience, however, this is really easy to pick up and go. my only issue is not with the device itself, but with the fact that I dont currently own drum triggers. I do have an electric drum kit that I used to test this device and set up my own sounds with. I'm incredibly happy with this product and excited to use as my bass drum triggers for the shows that I'll be playing within the next few weeks.

    I play in a couple of variety bands & adding this to my kit has been very helpful to get the added sounds I need. Also being able to add sounds or sequence to a SD card is very valuable. If you're in a variety band of laying today's music & old school music this is a must have.
