Using a kick trigger allows you to drastically alter the sound of your bass drum without having to swap out your drums, heads, or change tunings. This is especially useful in live settings where you can give each song its own unique feel in a pinch. Using a Roland TM-2, Sean Lang will break down the setup and different features you should know to help get you started with your first time triggering.
