Roland TM-2 Acoustic Drum Trigger Module, 2 Inputs

This is Roland's best kept hybrid drumming secret! Fabulous little module, with deep functionality of sounds and ability to load up your own WAV files samples. The key to success with this is to setup sensitive triggering and threshold low enough that you can still maintain dynamics. The Roland acoustic snare trigger works very well with the TM-2 and for example you could have a 808 hand claps on the rim of the snare. With Stereo to dual mono plugs you can expand the triggering. Quite versatile. I'm running a side vDrums pad hat I can put percussion sounds on and a snare and bass drum trigger. Other configurations could be a bar trigger to trigger samples from a SPD-SX for example or TM-2 elements or internal WAV files. Very well priced and highly recommended for those who want to layer their acoustic sounds or add simple hybrid elements to their existing set up. Tempted to buy a second one for connecting more vDrums Pads

Fantastic product for the money great sounds for bass and snare easy to set up and add built in reverb and tune etc .Can be used with splitter cables to allow 4 triggers only thing has not got is a ride cymbal but you can import your own sounds . 10/10

didnt work straight out of the box, screen was frozen and module power button wouldnt turn off. it started working and i messed around for an hour using a roland rt30hr trigger on a snare. it was a great bit of kit. the following day it froze again and that was that. i will be ordering another so hopefully the 2nd one will be fine.

An excellent bit of kit. I stuck some mesh heads on an old drum kit and used splitter cables to allow 4 triggers on this unit. That's my snare kick and two toms. I then have some zildjian low volume cymbals for home practice. So much better than rubber pads! This unit has finally given me a setup I can play at home and not feel like it's a compromise.

An excellent piece of kit and it's easy to get the hang of the various layers etc. The APC33 mounting plate is expensive but worthwhile.

stopped loading up after a few weeks. was sent back to roland....i got it back....still not working right.

Todo llegó en perfectas condiciones, tardó un poco en llegar pero valió la pena, y el precio es más accesible que otras tiendas en línea 👍🏻

This product is amazing. I am a metal drummer so we need a tight sound when it comes to playing fast. I mainly use it for my bass drums and frankly, it is up to my expectations.

Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this thing. I play in a death metal band (Boarcorpse), and I use a combination of single strokes and double stroke rolls with my feet. (My doubles are heel-up, not feathering) I was using the Alesis DM5, which most of you reading this probably know is the bottom of the barrel trigger module, but it's used by almost everyone at some point. I knew the sounds on the DM5 were garbage, but I didn't realize how inaccurately it was triggering, until I bought the TM2. I'm not exaggerating at all when I say, switching from the DM5 to the TM2 made a HUGE difference in my kick skills. It's just so much more accurate. Yes, it only has 2 trigger inputs (1/4 inch), so it wouldn't work with an entire electronic kit, but it's perfect for a hybrid kit. (All acoustic drums and either a triggered kick drum, or an electronic kick drum) I use the Roland TD120 as my kick. When I started messing with the TM2, I found a setting on it that let's you select either a type of trigger or a specific pad model. So I was able to select "TD120" within the TM2, and it immediately started triggering perfectly with what I was playing. I can't stress enough how big a difference it's made having a brain that accurately represents what I'm playing, I LOVE it. I should mention that when I ordered this, the description made it sound like it ran on batteries (even says batteries required in the description) and it does NOT mention coming with an AC adapter. So I ordered an aftermarket AC adapter when I ordered the TM2, only to realize that it DID come with an AC adapter when it arrived, it's just also capable of running on batteries. I'm not 100% sure why you'd want to use batteries with it, if you're using it, you're plugging the output into an amp or PA to amplify the sound, so obviously you have access to electricity.... anyways, I guess the battery thing is an interesting option, I just think it's unnecessary. Oh, you can also load your own sounds onto it. That's huge in my book. I haven't gotten around to doing it yet, but even without that option it's a 5 star product.

Great brain easy to use, stock sounds are ok but you can find better ones. Great for triggering the bass drum at the jam space, have yet to use it live

Muy contento con este módulo roland, funciona muy bien
