If you want something more reliable I've suggested this to many people before and still swear by it. Pintech makes a trigger called the "verti kick" I'm not sure if I have it spelled correctly, but if you call any good drum shop and ask for it they'll know what you're talking about. A second and even quiter option (but a pain to take to gigs in comparison) is to get a mesh head and an acoustic bass drum piezo trigger. It takes some tinkering, but is very reliable an extremely quiet in comparison. You can get Yamaha's better kick tower that came with the dtx kit, but those are way too expensive in my mind (about $50-$70 more than the pintech verti kick). My personal expirence is the verti kick is the best option and its wide enough for a double pedal to fit too. I hope this helps. -Joe --- astrami <astrami@...> wrote: > I want to change the trigger to something more > velocity > sensitive/reliable and if possible quieter.
