Yamaha DT-50S Metal Body, Dual-Zone Acoustic Snare/Tom Trigger

Lower output than the drum brand triggers but a solid build.

Worked great on my snare

Great trigger, would recommend with anyone looking to trigger their kick drum. Pairs absolutely no problem with Roland TM-2

I bought this after using a Roland rim-mounted trigger. That trigger left a gap about the thickness of a sheet of paper between the foam cone and the mesh head. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get it to trigger accurately and consistently unless I jammed something between the bottom of the housing and the side of the drum to force it to "lean in" toward the drum and contact the head. I tried this Yamaha trigger and there is NO problem with the foam contacting the head. Also, I like the metal housing a little bit better. I use regular triple-flanged metal hoops on my drums, so I don't know why the Roland trigger didn't work for me. The Yamaha trigger is accurate and consistent and functions well after fine-tuning my drum module settings.

This unit works really well for what I’m using it for

Muy buen complemento para sumarle a el mic Yamaha EAD 10

They work but they are more for live situations. Acoustic Drums will over power the volume of these in practice and small venues. Just as playing along with music through speakers. Drums are loud...it's not the fault of the trigger.

BUYER BEWARE! Yamaha’s DT50 design is unusable for the DTX502, DTX700, and DTX-Multi12 modules. For these modules, Yamaha requires the DT50S Snare trigger to be plugged into the Kick input on the module and the DT50K Kick trigger to be plugged into the Snare input. This is a backwards design and requires reprogramming every single drum set built into the module. I brought this issue to the attention of Yamaha customer service (case 03289818) and their response was that I should reprogram all of the 50+ built in drum sets and if I ever switched back to drum pads (instead of triggers), to then reprogram the 50+ built in drum sets back again. This is just too much work for me and I suspect most other drummers. As such, this trigger is now a $100 paperweight.

Amazing triggers! Works with any drum module! I currently use these to trigger gates for my toms.

Muy bien era lo que esperaba perfecto para mi Ead10

muy buen material, se adapta perfecto a cualquier tarola o Tom. Muy buena respuesta. Ningun problema.

Perfect with the EAD 10

Save your money! Barely lasted 45 days. I was using this trigger for practice a few times a week. Fired up the kit this morning. The snare trigger had a few intermittent misses. And then that was it. Nothing!! dead in the water. Does not trigger at all. Looks nice on the kit. But now it’s just a paper weight
