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
