Roland TM-2 Trigger Module

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.

Nice product no problem at all

It has taken my drumming to the next level. It's really helpful for drummers who are into electronic music

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 👍🏻

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

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
