damn this stuff is sweet. i would be nice to see something on how to make a dual zone trigger though...

[tcraw1010]

Dual zone as in the cymbal-body and the bell?


I wonder if it would simply be a matter of placing a separate trigger on the bell of the practice cymbal. If course, there is the issue of cross-chatter.

Heck, I'm no electrical enginneer . . . but I'm sure it can be (and has been) done.


In the meantime, here is some info on creating a "bell trigger" as a supplement to your eCymbal.

i meant for drums, like so you could do rimshots and stuff....

[tcraw1010]

Ahhh - that has DEFINITELY been done.
It's simply a matter of triggering the rim.

Check out the following link ....

At the bottom of the section where he describes how he built his eTrigger for the shell, he mentions how he attached a separate trigger to the hoop for rim shots and the like. I know you can also buy rubber tubing to cut and lay over the hoop rim (similar to the rims of the V-Drums).
