Best centre-mounted drum triggers for eDRUMin?

Post by sdbro75 »

I am embarking on an A2E conversion for a 7-piece kit; I have recently purchased a centre-mounted snare trigger from Jobeky (AI trigger), and my plan was to buy the remaining triggers (for a 7-piece A2E) from Jobeky, avoid using a module, and use eDRUMin10 (not yet purchased) into Superior Drummer 3.

Unfortunately, however, Rob has advised that Jobeky triggers will be too hot for eDRUMin. :cry:

I notice that the Jobeky AI triggers are listed in the Unofficially Supported Devices list: has anyone had any luck with using these?

If not, can anyone advise alternative centre-mounted triggers that work well with eDRUMin?

The reason I am going with all centre-mounted snare triggers is that I am using Drum-Tec Pro mesh heads, and Justin from 65 Drums advised in a video that they work best with centre-mounted triggers (with inconsistent triggering using side-mounted triggers), and also that I have read side-mounted triggers do not work so well on larger drum shells.

I use them. I have no problems with them. The typical advice of having your cone 1-2mm above the bearing edge may be a little off. I have mine pretty much even with the bearing edge and barely touching the head.
