INTRODUCTION

FIELD electronic cymbals and drums produce no sound themselves and require an external sound module in order to produce sounds. FIELD electronic drums and cymbals can  be used to trigger unlimited MIDI instruments or devices by using a “Trigger to MIDI” interface.
FIELD electronic drum and cymbal triggers are uniquely designed to be plug and play compatible with the wide range of sound modules available on the market today that recognize piezo triggers including sound modules made by manufacturers such as: Roland, Yamaha, Alesis, Pearl, D-Drum, and Nord.

QUICK SETUP

Setup necessary drum stands, cymbal stands, and pedals.
Place the drum or cymbal onto your stand or mount.
Insert a RIGHT ANGLE 1/4″ TRS plug into the trigger output jack on the side of the drum or underside of the cymbal.
Connect the other end of the cable to your drum module.
Turn on your sound module and use the default settings.
Plug in headphones or speakers
Play! Have Fun!
Depending on your playing style, you may need to change your sound modules default settings to better respond to your playing style.  Refer to your sound modules owners manual for instructions on how to change your trigger settings.  *Common settings to adjust are Sensitivity, Threshold, and Cross-Talk.  See your drum modules owners manual for more information.

CYMBAL MOUNTING

FIELD electronic cymbals are designed to be used with standard sticks, brushes, and mallets, and are mountable using felt washers on any standard cymbal stands, drum racks, or mounting arms.

Cables are needed to connect FIELD electronic cymbals to a sound module or “Trigger to MIDI” interface. “Right angle” (1/4″) quarter inch TRS cables are required. Connect the cymbal output to the desired input of the interface.

NOTE:  10 inch, 12 inch cymbals can only be connected using “Right Angle” (1/4″) quarter inch TRS plug.
