Trigger (drums)

[1] Specialised triggers are produced for specific instruments.

It is commonly quoted that less effort is required from the drummer when using drum triggers.

The drum module to which the trigger is connected can be adjusted to accommodate a range of volumes, thus preserving the dynamic range of the drummer's playing.

Triggers have a greater use in live performances than in studio recordings, since some drummers dislike the processed triggered sound, labelled by some as artificial.
