I currently have a KD9 that I mounted inside an 18” acoustic kick drum, and the KD9 is failing. I’m going to pull it out and try to install the UFO eBridge trigger system and mesh head which will be connected to the Pearl Mimic Pro, so if anyone has any tips I’d welcome them!

I use UFO eBridges on my A2E kit paired with my Mimic.
I also have an 18" bass drum and it triggers just fine. I couldn't be happier. The UFO eBridges for the kick come with a beater pillow that eliminates the need for pillows and blankets.
My only tip is to follow the instructions. It's an easy install.Pearl Mimic Pro; Acrylic Shells; UFO eBridges; R-Drums RTB Trigger; ATV/Roland Cymbals.
TD-50DP; KD-9; PDX-100(x4); VH-13; Roland Cymbals.

I am also using the UFO eBridge with my 18" kick with a Remo Silent Stroke head and it works perfectly. It's an easy installation and set up. Like SF says, just follow the directions that come with the trigger and your good to go.

as you probably already know, make sure you use a straight edge across the shell next the the trigger cone. the cone should be about 1/16" to 1/8" above the shell's bearing edge .
i have one on my 20" kick along with a drum-tec real feel head. and plays and triggers fantastic.Pearl Mimic pro, A to E 7 piece Pearl Decade maple, ddrum Deccabons, Ddrum DDTi, UFO X-bar triggers, Real feel heads, Gibraltar rack, VH13, PD105 side snare, Roc-N-Soc,Tama Iron Cobra, Iron cobra high hat stand, Cobra clutch, Pearl throne thumper, Roland and Kit Toys cymbals, Roland KC 500, Promark

Just curious... did the KD9 fail? Or you think it fails in it's application within the bass shell?
If the KD9 is broke, I believe there's instructions, youtube, on how to repair the KD9... Something to consider, if the KD9 works for you.
Note: I tried the KD9 on my conversion and it just was not good enough. I wound up with a bar trigger.
