Roland RT-30HR Snare Drum Trigger

With exceptional trigger sensitivity, ultra-quick installation, and compatibility with the latest drum hardware, the streamlined RT-30 series sets a new standard for anyone wanting to explore hybrid drumming. Ideal for use on snare drums, the RT-30HR supports independent head and rim triggering for playing two different sounds from the same drum. The RT-30HR also incorporates a newly developed self-guided mount that automatically sets the sensor in the optimum position against the drumhead, with no fussy mechanical adjustment needed after mounting.

MOVING INTO THE HYBRID WORLD
Over the past number of years, the Music industry has taken a huge step forward both in production and writing aspects. This has seen the recording of drums and use of electronic drum sounds develop in a number of ways. More and more music of the present day is now making use of electronic drum sounds and less of the conventional acoustic method. This approach to recording and producing an album can result in a different sound from song to song. Achieving the same sounds whilst performing live can be a difficult task by using acoustic drums only. With the help of the Roland RT-30 range of triggers, triggering samples from the studio has never been easier. Simply attach any of the RT-30 triggers to an acoustic drum, link via a V-Drums module and select your sample. This allows drummers to layer any sound they want over each drum; whether it be a clap on the snare drum, an 808 on your kick drum, or even just traditional samples on top of your acoustic drums to thicken your sound for added live punch. With the use of RT-30 triggers along with any module, this couldnt be easier. Revolutionary for the modern day drummer!

INDUSTRY ARTISTS
With the idea of Hybrid Drums becoming more and more popular, the industry is starting to see many famous and popular drummers using the hybrid drum approach for live use. Most noticeably, George Daniel of The 1975 currently uses a set-up of RT range Triggers via an SPD-SX sampling pad. For a band that has a diverse, and very unique drum sound spread across their album, the use of triggering is perfect for their live performances.
