A Perfect and Profesional Pedal Trigger
Anonymous 10.12.2015
First things first, the trigger works flawlessly and its easy to use, to connect it and to install it.

I bought it to be used with a Yamaha a DD-65. And also to use it with other MIDI Drums that may come to my studio at some point in the future.

It's made of nice metal and good rubber, though I think the rubber could have been a little less crumbly, its not that is cheap and will crumble easily though. it's just that if your pedal got a white maze like mine it will get black instantly in the part that touches the rubber, not that important really, just trying to be detailed here.

Also you must be aware that it doesn't have any foots, nor pads under it, its meant to be over a carpet and because of it if you use it directly over the floor it may be way to noisy and end up annoying some neighbors, I workaround-ed it by putting some really thick fabric to slightly damp it.

Also in the rear part of it, you'll find a knob meant to increase or decrease the sensibility, and I must say, that it works marvelously when you need to find the right spot so your kicks aren't always too loud or to quiet.

In the end, it works nice, and seems that it will endure a large amount of years of usage.

Don't hesitate, if you need a pedal trigger buy it now!

Its alright...

Its a little awkward to pack and carry around unfortunately. It looks nice and neat in the photos but to pack neatly you would have to remove the base plate which is pretty fidgety little wingnuts. Its shape when its all together is pretty awkward but its light enough. I used to just keep it seperate to my other pads which were all in one bag with clamps and cables, very handy...then this bloody thing.

This thing slides like nothing Ive ever seen before. It has spikes but this thing likes to run away from you.

MIne has started to mis-trigger now and not trigger the second hit on a medium speed double.

Its grand...got the job done for a while but I was pretty dissappoited with it

Good for the price

I've played on this now for about 9 months and it's still good.
When I use double pedals it's a bit small, which leads to the pad not sending the signal all the time, but for the most time it's good.
If you're a noob like me this one should be enough.
