Shell Construction & Trigger Assembly
333 Maple Shell:
- Alterations in grain direction greatly influence the sound
- Outermost and innermost plies run vertically
- Vertical grain places less tension on the shell
- Vibrates more freely, resulting in a lower fundamental pitch
- No reinforcement hoops
- Produces a lower overall tone, maintains maximum resonance & attack
Drum Triggers:
- Triggers sit in a removable tray, for easy conversion to acoustic
- Combination of FSRs (Force Sensing Resistors) for the centre of the drums & Piezo for the edges
- More dynamic range & pressure muting on drums
Cymbal Triggers:
- Combination of piezo sensors for bow & bell
- Cymbal edges use FSRs for edge detection & natural choke
Wireless Trigger System
Cables/cable snakes... not needed
Proprietary technology
- Uses AA batteries with 1 to 2 years of battery life
- 30 yards (27 meters) of range for the wireless triggers
- Total system latency is measured under 10ms, which is comparable to module- based solutions
Drums:
5 Zone Snare Drum (Center, Edge, Rimshot, Rim, Crosstick)
- Positional sensing snare drum from center to the edge
- Innovative snare drum throw-off (digiMag), Snare on/off sounds
- Snare throw-off can be assigned to non-snare drum sounds
- Pressure-Sensing cross-stick detection
3 Zone Toms (Centre, Rimshot, Rim)
- Ability to pitch bend and mute the drums using head pressure
Cymbals:
- Free 360° spinning metal cymbals
- 3 Zone (edge, bow, and bell) with choke
- All cymbals include a raised bell for a natural feel and zone separation
