I bought a 14" head for a converted floor tom. I tried a Roland acoustic trigger and a ddrum Pro Snare acoustic trigger; both had bad results. The head could only handle single strokes and don't go too fast or you'll get missed hits. Rolls were impossible. Too many strokes would not register and 'Yes' I did fiddle with all the parameters. Initially, it seemed like the Threshold was too high and Sensitivity too low, but adjusting those didn't help.
On the other hand, when I put the triggers on a 14" Roland head that I bought several years ago for my converted snare - no problem. Triggered great.
The head is so stretchy. I tighten it down, come back a couple days later and need to tighten it down again. Even after I just tighten it, the triggering is still bad.
Maybe the Hart Magnum head works better with certain modules. Mine is a Roland TD-8.
What sucks is that you can't get oversized Roland mesh heads. And the only way to get a 14", is to buy the PCK-1 kit which is the head plus a snare trigger for $99.00.
I don't want to get black mesh heads from Pintech or whoever b/c it won't match the rest of my kit. Where can I get great, white, oversized mesh heads??
