Choosing the right triggers
Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:11 pm
Hello there, new user here
My situation, a little bit of background:
I'm currently planning out my A2E conversion kit. I already bought the drum shells and some Drum-Tec real feel 3-ply mesh heads. As i reconsidered every step of the conversion once more i stumbled upon eDRUMin interfaces and fell in love with them. They really seem like the best option for my purpose (i'm not opposed to using a laptop and i'm ready for a deep dive in trigger settings and so on).
The first question (tom-triggers):
On my quest to find the right triggers so far i really like the Jobeky triggers. I planned to use a bassdrum trigger (22''), Jobeky side-triggers for my three toms (12'', 13'' and 16'') and for my 14'' Snare i originally opted for the newer Jobeky Multi-Point-Trigger (the 4-Cone Version as i have an 8 lug Snare). Now as i scanned through the forum i stumbled upon mixed opinions on Jobeky triggers. On one hand side some people said that Jobeky triggers are waayy too hot to trigger smoothly and on the other hand side i saw them listed (except the bass drum trigger) on the unofficial 'works just fine'-list. Now i'm confused and not ready to spend a couple more hours trying to research when i can just ask
Am i going to run into trouble with choosing Jobeky? I saw some Quartz Percussion recommendations but i'd rather not build the triggers myself (and i'm located in EU, i'd like to shop here too).
The second question (cymbals):
I currently own a Millenium MPS-750X eDrum kit that i'm going to sell after i put together my new A2E kit. As i'm sufficiently happy with the Ride and the Crash i would like to repurchase them. There are options to buy them specifically for Roland, Pearl, ATV, Alesis und Gewa. So i assume they would pose no trouble when connecting them to the eDrumin 8? The hi-hat should be no problem since i'll buy a VH10.. But does anyone have experience with Millenium cymbals? If they work they'd be IMO the best bang for the buck option.
Outro:
I really hope in finding some useful information here, this forum seems like a nice place
Looking forward to some good conversations
Cheers

P.S.
Seems like if i want positional sensing on the Snare i should go with a centre mounted trigger instead of the multi cone. That would be fine by me although i would like to stay with Jobeky
