Building triggers without soldering

[anton]

Hi, me again

So I tried to get into soldering for quite some time now but came to the conlusion that this is something I just don't be able to get something done in a decent quality.

So I asked myself if it would be possible to build everything without soldering and started with my BD.
Using blade receptacles (sorry, I realy don't know how to call them in english, hope thats right, I ordered that set to be precise: https://smile.amazon.de/gp/product/B07H ... UTF8&psc=1 with the following https://www.thomann.de/de/neutrik_nmj3hf_s.htm) and it worked quite well.
The trigger was ordered from R-Drums.
One thing I came across is that on calibration mode the eDRUMin sets the GAIN to 12. But sounds quite good to me with Addictive Drums 2. Just have to rearrange the positioning of the trigger now because I play double bass and put the trigger exactly in the middle (vertically) of the shell so it is not between the two beaters.

Now I would like to build my snare and toms with a three trigger design (where the three triggers are mounted on the sites of the inside shell) but I don't know how to get this done without soldering, to connect all triggers together to a jack connector.

I would also like to know if using those blade receptacles lowers the signal which arrives at the jack connector from the triggers.

I'm realy a noob regarding electrics and diy so please don't hate me for asking dumb questions

Why are you going for a 3 side trigger design?

For toms, a single side trigger is sufficient and for the snare, a centre + shell offers everything you need.

Both come in a non-solder versions, from Jobeky, Goedrum, Trigerra etc.

Saw a video from jman(rip) some while ago of his Stealth ISM-6 Kit and was blown away from its sensitivity. also i dont want to mess around with hotspotting.
Seems reasonable to make the toms just with one side mounted trigger, yeah.
But for the snare something like that would be awesome.

I have the Jobeky AI trigger bar.

As sensitive as my acoustic snare, and no hotspotting with eDRUMin.

Also, you get awesome positional sensing with a centre trigger - makes a huge difference especially with SD3
