So I’ve noticed that when I trigger with an Alesis D4 module, there’s a slight bit of latency between when I strike the drum and when the sample is activated. For the most part, it doesn’t bother me too much for the bass drum, but the snare latency kind of throws me off, especially when I’m playing blastbeats.
I’m using a Roland trigger for the bass drum and an Aquarian inHead snare head. I’ve heard some people say that a Roland module will react faster. Can anyone confirm this?
I'm also wondering if it is easier to trigger an unmuffled bass drum with a Roland module? For a time, I was able to get very accurate triggering with my D4 but recently, I've been getting lots of false and double triggering. After going through every combination of settings I can think of, I just cranked the tension on the batter head and stuffed the drum completely full with a blanket and it triggers perfectly, but I'd really like to be able to mic and trigger the bass drum at some point so I can blend the two sounds.
