wanja, iam thinking on getting drum triggers, module, ETC. but how i can hear my bass drum triggers with head phones, if i want to hear a music play back or metronome (¿how i can mix it all?)

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

@@franco6296 Hi! Just buy something like this and plug in all your stuff (I use this for gigs): www.thomann.de/de/the_t_mix_mix_502.htm?offid=1&affid=241

Ok tanks!!!

Was having retrig issues on my tm2 now it's working perfect thank you dude you are a legend

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Thank you! You're welcome :)

[@ralleralle8620]

am Ende des Videos wars nochmal richtig schön dich drummen zu hören!

[@vaclavkolar6750]

Very usable. Thanks you

[@joseluisfariabaterista]

Great master. Bien explicado 👍👍🤘🎵🎶

[@patriciolepe1326]

Excelente, alguna recomendación para configurar un módulo Yamaha dtx 502 con ese mismo trigger

[@nickcollins9893]

That's epic camera shake at 6:00. By the way, what tempo it was and how did you feel during that fast bombblast?)

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Tempo is 280bpm, you can watch the full video here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3PVfX2GYpeCfK8 How did I feel? Well, it was exhausting :D

[@richie7782]

Does this setup a cut for both triggers or 1 a piece?

[@matthieuchery3944]

Hello sir, do you connect the Trigger Module to an Interface so that later on you can make the Mix through your software like Logic Pro or GarageBand? Thank you for your time!

[@andyleclerc1843]

See on dont get that menu “trigger setup” but i have foot blasters 😅 maybe you can help me

[@nathan_drums]

Thanks it help! 🙂

[@nofsims4976]

Hey Wanja, if i use a different module with only one input, will it work if i get a LR adapter cable into that one input? (So left & right cables from trigger, to adapter, to module)

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

@@nofsims4976 Should work. Make sure the two mono signals from your triggers are combined into one mono and not a stereo signal. Some modules can also handle stereo input, but mono is the standard.

[@haydensmith3604]

Wanja, what is your hand techniqur

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Push Pull; I explain it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIPPoqmImMeflZY&t=

[@Ryencoke6]

Hey man, thanks for the info! What type of cables are you using? Mono or TRS?

[@jaycalidrums]

If you’re using a Y cable, the end that plugs into the module would be the stereo end and the 2 split cables will be your mono ends.

[@Corpsefiend91]

Did you import your own sample sounds ? Or are you using the samples that already come with the module?

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

I use a custom sample from my band Negator.

[@rattlehead9506]

Hi , not late .

[@ElijahMendiola]

I just got this module and the sound is very low but when I press one . I get the right sound . Why am I not getting the right sound?

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Have you checked all the settings? Maybe your sensitivity is too low.

[@ElijahMendiola]

@@wanjanechtangroeger I think you’re right , your other video where you show the settings helped . I turned up the settings and it started to work better . I had to go to work but when I get home I’ll know for sure . When turned it all the way up , it wasn’t very loud . Is that normal? I need to hook them up to a monitor to see it’s full potential? Thanks for the help Wanja

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

@@ElijahMendiola Well, usually it is more than loud enough when you just plug in earphones or something (at least insulated ones, otherwise your acoustic drum sound will drown out everything else :D ). You can also not only adjust the overall volume with the volume knob, but you can also adjust the colume of the individual samples somewhere (check the manual). In general it may take some time and experimentation to find the settings that work best for you ;)

[@stealthcat9759]

could you y cable the triggers to one input on the tm2? would it make playability any worse than using 2 separate ones?

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Honestly I don't know. In theorie you could probably also make the two mono cables into one stereo cable, because the TM-2 can receive two seperate signals per input via stereo (usually used for snare triggers which also can trigger a rim shot). But I haven't tried any of this.

[@stealthcat9759]

@@wanjanechtangroeger ill be trying it in a few days and will confirm all good, thanks for the reply man, sick drumming

[@SchOrlEscHecK]

Grüß dich! Ich habe mir letztens auch ein paar OnTrigger + das TM 2 Modul geholt. Funktioniert grundsätzlich sehr gut. Witzig sind hierbei allerdings 2 Punkte, die ich noch nicht so richtig verstehe: Wenn ich die sensitivity auf 1 stelle (niedrigster Wert der möglich ist), löst der trigger trotzdem schon bei extrem leichten Berührungen aus bzw das Modul. (Das Pedal drückt soweit ich das beurteilen kann nur leicht auf den trigger, also nicht zu arg) Zusätzlich ist es so, dass wenn ich manuell auf dem Modul die „1“ oder die „2“ drücke, der trigger Sound laut und knackig abgespielt wird, wenn ich allerdings den trigger per Pedal auslöse, dann kommt der sound merkbar leiser und mit weniger attack aus den Boxen. (Habe Level auf 100 und Dynamik auf Maximum gestellt, also sollte eigentlich immer der lauteste Sound erzeugt werden..) Irgend eine Idee wieso das alles so ist ?

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Das Problem ist ganz einfach: Sensitivity muss auf den höchsten Wert gestellt werde, nicht den niedrigsten. Das bestimmt maßgeblich die Abbildung von Dynamik. Damit der Trigger nicht bei kleinster Berührung auslöst, musst du stattdessen Threshold verstellen ;)

[@SchOrlEscHecK]

@@wanjanechtangroeger Dankesehr :D Habe das nochmal im Handbuch nachgelesen, und genau so ist es ;) Hatte irgendwie immer im Sinn, dass Sensitivity bedeutet, wie leicht der Trigger auslöst... so kann man sich täuschen^^

[@florianwolfdrums]

Hi, nutzt du die internen Sounds (wenn ja wechseln ;)) oder externe samples über SdCard?

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Benutze ein eigenes, bzw eines, das mir freundlicherweise von meiner Band Negator zur Verfügung gestellt wurde!

[@tommyostensen7339]

Hi! Do you stuff the bassdrum full or do you use the bassdrum like a bassdrum? I have problem to make my playing sound clean with the on triggers. I get alot of non wanted double stroaks. I have just a little stuffing in the bassdrum and low/medium skin tention. Best Regards Tommy

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

If you get trigger misfires it is probably a different problem. Maybe check your module settings and make sure that the ontrigger is not getting pressed down too far by the pedal board, because then you get one hit when the board hits the trigger and another hit when the beater hits the bassdrum. But anyway, here is more info on my bassdrum: kzbin.info/www/bejne/on2cdJZ_pNZ-jrs

[@pakipoli4895]

Hi from Italy. Sorry but for double pedale and with double trigger...in module there is only one input!

[@hxchxc]

How can you pay such price for just piezo cable and aluminum box applause for the company though making nice income.

[@warrenoids]

Try making one then.

[@maxammo6282]

You couldn't figure it out until you read the manual imagine that. SMH what is it with drummers you guys are afraid to read or what.

Tf is your problem
