Roland Acoustic Drum Trigger Module TM-6 PRO
Life as a working drummer is not without pressure. From one job to the next, you’ll be expected to move fast and find the perfect drum sound, satisfying your audience, fellow musicians, engineers and the all-important paying client. But that’s a big challenge when you’re playing a traditional kit. Acoustics can vary drastically from venue-to-venue. Mixing engineers all take a different approach. You could be presented with unknown material with moments to spare, or asked to replicate the drum sound from a studio recording. Life gets much easier when you add the Roland TM-6 PRO to your favorite acoustic drum kit. Smart, simple and discreet, this new trigger module gives you instant and reliable access to every drum sound in the book, on every stage you play.

Roland Tm-2 Drum Trigger Module The Roland TM-2 is a great trigger module. I use it on the kick drum for death metal. I have the rest of the kit internally miced except overheads. Definitely worth 5 stars not a 4 star item. If the item was broken ok. Used for what it’s for and all expectations met, I can’t see that being a four 4 star item. Even compared to a more expensive unit in its class I’m happy. You can upload a custom wave file downloaded to an SD card for your unique custom sound! And it has ready to play sounds…
Great, affordable way to set up hybrid kit! This is a great little unit with a lot of flexibility. I am using it as a trigger interface between my Roland PD105 and PD125 pads and my 2Box DrumIt5 drum module. (The 2Box doesnât handle Roland triggering very well, especially the rims). The TM2 does exactly what I want, and flawlessly. And programming is SO simple. I figured it all out without the manual. So far so good…Then I decided that 2 pads really isnât enough so I bought a second TM2, planning to daisy-chain them for use…
This thing is so great! My wife got me this for Christmas, and I am now using a hybrid kit for the first time. You can upload sounds via an SDHC card (not included, but I got an 8gb for something like $6 on Amazon-that’s probably enough space to store thousands upon thousands of sounds). Also, even though it only has two inputs, you can use a splitter wire and set up four pads-that’s how I have mine rigged. Thanks to Roland for listening to your customers and not making us buy a $500-$1000…
