Footblaster Trigger: First Impressions (Setup & Playing)

GENERAL INFORMATION: I found a pair of Footblaster triggers on Ebay (slightly used), bought them and wanted to share a few thoughts. In this video I try to explain the setup and possible problems you may run into. Afterwards, I showcase some playing and sum up my first impression. Those possible problems take into account my own clumsiness, of course. This is a user's first impression / review, not any kind of paid/sponsored ad! Drumming track in the background, as well as all audio and video editing were done by myself. A FEW SUPPLEMENTARY WORDS: As I state in the video, the triggering is pedal-based instead of drumhead-based, which means that you are independent of the surface your beater is hitting. You could even play with them using just a practice kick pad. However, depending on the distance of that surface to your beater, you still might need to readjust the height of the sensor. Also, depending on your playing style and module settings, mistriggering is still possible. I use the Roland TM2 module and my current settings are: THRESHOLD 15, SENSITIVITY 30, RETRIG 5, XTALK 20% Those seem to work well for me, but you might require totally different settings. The problem with the tape seems to resolve itself if you just leave the triggers overnight after sticking them to the pedal. After doing that, I never again had any problems with the trigger coming off the pedal. Hard hitters that really bury their beater into the drumhead may experience down-bending of the metal sheet the sensor is mounted on which requires frequent readjusting. Generally, after having practiced for 2 hours everyday for the past week with the triggers, I have to say, they work flawlessly. If your playing is consistent, the accuracy is very close to 100% and I never had more accurate triggering in my life. EQUIPMENT: I proudly endorse Samsun Cymbals!
