Taking Care of the Drum Triggers • Make sure the surface of the batterhead or shell where the trigger is to be mounted is free from dirt and grime. Clean the surface with alcohol, etc. before attaching. • To prevent broken trigger cords caused by the vibration of the drum rim, secure the sensors and cords in place with tape. • Irregular vibration and sustained resonance on the batterhead or shell may cause double-triggering. This can be prevented by applying a mute to the batterhead and controlling excessive vibration. We recommend the use of the Yamaha Ring Mute. • Once you have removed drum triggers and want to mount them again, be sure completely remove the old tape and apply new tape. Using used tape may cause problems such as poor sensitivity, double-triggering, etc. 11

the trigger is to be mounted is free from dirt and grime.
Clean the surface with alcohol, etc. before attaching.
•
To prevent broken trigger cords caused by the vibration
of the drum rim, secure the sensors and cords in place
with tape.
•
Irregular vibration and sustained resonance on the
batterhead or shell may cause double-triggering. This
can be prevented by applying a mute to the batterhead
and controlling excessive vibration. We recommend the
use of the Yamaha Ring Mute.
