Life as a working drummer is not without pressure. From one job to the next, you will be expected to move fast and find the perfect drum sound, satisfying your audience, fellow musicians, engineers, and the all-important paying client. But that is a big challenge when you are playing on a traditional kit. Acoustics can vary drastically from venue to venue. Mixing engineers all take a different approach. You could be presented with unknown material with moments to spare or asked to replicate the drum sound from a studio recording. Adding the Roland TM-6 PRO Acoustic Drum Trigger Module to your favorite acoustic drum kit makes life much easier. Smart, simple, and discreet, this new trigger module gives you instant and reliable access to every drum sound in the book on every stage you play. Choose the Perfect Tone for Your Drumming Style from 500 Premium Sampled SoundsEvery drummer feels the pressure when the clock is ticking, the band is waiting, and your kit does not sound quite right. The Roland TM-6 PRO Acoustic Drum Trigger Module lets you walk into any gig and find your sound quickly. Roland TM-6 PRO Acoustic Drum Trigger Module is designed for hybrid drumming. This trigger module is preloaded with 500 new sampled sounds, from electronic and processed tones to acoustic drum sounds and sound elements. Drummers who dart between jobs can switch between libraries of sounds in seconds. Try electronic sounds, including fat-synth kicks, vintage drum machines, claps, and SFX, alongside processed sounds like compressed snares and kicks that cut through onstage. Get the best of the old-school, with exceptional-quality preloaded acoustic drum sounds, recorded at world-renowned studios like Real World and Rockfield. Enhance the attack of your snare and bring low-end power to your kick using sound elements. It is all at your fingertips. Bring Expression to Your Playing with Onboard V-Drum SoundsAs a working drummer, it is vital that nothing kills your swing. You will make yourself even more employable with the Roland TM-6 PRO Acoustic Drum Trigger Module, which supplements its onboard sound library with a selection of natural and expressive V-Drum sounds. For drummers yet to explore the hybrid concept, this feature is hugely reassuring, letting you use the same playing technique as you would on acoustic drums. Even open and closed hi-hat control is possible using the V-Drums sounds and the hi-hat control connector on the module. Recreate Signature Drum Tones from Studio RecordingsWhether you are playing in a covers band or touring with a major artist, pro drummers will often be asked to recreate the signature drum tone from a famous studio recording, and your reputation depends on getting it right. Rely on the Roland TM-6 PRO Acoustic Drum Trigger Module to nail any tone, thanks to the user sample feature that lets you import the exact sounds from the recorded track via SD card and play them using your acoustic kit. And that is just the start. When your bandleader asks you for a fresh take, it is easy to customize those imported audio samples by combining them with the module’s built-in sounds, adding powerful onboard effects, or switching and mixing layered samples according to the strength of your stick hits. The Ambitious First Step Towards a Hybrid KitAs you evolve as a drummer, it is vital that your kit can grow, too. The Roland TM-6 PRO Acoustic Drum Trigger Module is the jump-off to an ambitious hybrid kit that could help you win more varied commissions. It is easier than you think to expand your acoustic kit, simply adding a selection of Roland’s pads, triggers, and pedals via the module’s six trigger inputs (maximum 12 pads with optional Y-cable) and then enjoying a kit that offers swing-style and lightning-fast sound response. | Roland TM-6 PRO Acoustic Drum Trigger Module with Independent Volume Control and LED Indicators in Black/Blue | Financing Available
