DIY Snare (Dual Zone)

[jmcallon]

I'm pulling off my snare head and replacing it with a mesh head. How is the dual-zone ddrum snare trigger (link below)?

Is there any signal bleeding? Is it pretty responsive? Will this even work?

You might try posting in the products section using the product name in the header. I have no experience with these.

I just recently outfitted my snare with a DDrum snare trigger going into the TD20. It works perfectly fine so far and I can't tell an audible difference between the Roland pad and my DIY. The feel is alot more realistic for some reason probably because it IS a real snare.

The only minor downside to it is you have to get an XLR to TRS female adapter to adapt it to the TRS jack. I picked one up at my local GC for like 5-6 bucks in the adapters section.

Thanks for the reply! I'll let you know how it turns out.

Positional Sensing with modules that support the feature is what you lose with edge mounted triggers. I don't like to loose features like that myself.
