Get the most from your acoustic set.
If you own an acoustic drum set but want to play electronic sounds, there is a simple solution: Roland’s RT-Series Acoustic Drum Triggers. These drum triggers can be installed nonpermanently on an acoustic set. Once in place, they send a trigger signal to compatible sound modules, giving acoustic drummers access to entirely new sound palettes. This Application Guide will show you how to put the RT-Series to work for you.
