External Triggering: Chapter 6
DM5 Reference Manual 51
LARGE TOMS 14"-18"
In most cases shell mounting will work the best. However, you might experiment
with head mounting and find great results.
1 Firmly mount the trigger to the shell so that it is approximately one inch from
the batter rim.
2 Placement of the trigger should be near the side you sit, within a lug or two of
where your stick would hit if you played a rimshot.
3 Use a mid to high sensitivity setting if the trigger has an adjustment.
Note: In most cases when shell mounting triggers, internal permanent mounting will
provide the best results. This permanent form of mounting allows the trigger to be
more firmly attached to the shell, which tends to improve the performance.
However, when using this technique it is usually necessary to install an audio jack
into the drum shell to connect the audio cable to the trigger.

UFFLING
Another important part of triggering from acoustic drums is the degree of muffling
you apply to your drums. The amount a head vibrates when it is struck is what
causes most of the problems related to triggering from an acoustic drum. Often most
drummers don't want to put a lot of tape or muffling on their heads, but the degree
of improvement it makes may be well worth at least a little sacrifice. A slight amount
of muffling can make a huge improvement in any
triggering unit’s ability to properly
track your playing.
MOUNTING HARDWARE AND CONFIGURATION
The quality and sturdiness of your hardware will make a big difference in
eliminating potential problems. When you use unsteady hardware, it is an open
invitation to crosstalk problems. Toms that are mounted on the bass drum, and
drums which share a stand with other instruments such as cymbals, are areas where
you should be sure your hardware and mountings are solid and sturdy. Always
check to be certain that none of your stands or drums are leaning up against, or
touching any other drums or piece of hardware. To sum it up, the more heavy-duty
your hardware is, the better.
