    triggers are small rectangular(most of them) things with a sensor that touches a specific drumhead. most commonly used are the ones you put on your bass drum. they just take the signal from the drum when you hit it and send it further, just like a microphone, only that they don't transmit the natural sound of the drum, they transmit which sound you choose to transmit.(the sound you choose from a module you must purchase separately). They can make every hit sound the same, dynamically speaking.

      Basically turning an acoustic drums into an electric one.. Just a bunch of fucking lies to watch those death metal drummers going insanely fast with triggers and without them they’re just lame..

    @mudddflappp Just as a suggestion check out the Aquarian Superkick 1 head. It has a felt ring built into the back side of the batter head. Has a nice tone to it and eleminates most if not all the extra resonation that most ppl dont want with thier kicks, they have a nice thump to them.
