The bundle also involves a hard case which can be used as compact storage or to ensure your triggers do not get damaged during transport. Included alongside the Elite Trigger Pack is 5, 15ft XLR to 1/4'' DDrum cables, completing the package and ensuring you are able to complete your hybrid kit. The light pressure of the transducer against the drumhead prevents any dampening effects. The Chrome Elite's transducer is softly pressed against the drumhead, which is protected from accidental drum hits by the metal casing.

This means that you can swap the trigger between different kits. The Chrome Elite Trigger Pack requires no adhesive, instead, it clamps easily onto the sides of standard drum hoops.

Each trigger has a wide dynamic range to reproduce each hit with incredible precision. The snare trigger senses the head and rim separately for extremely accurate triggering. The DDrum Chrome Elite Trigger Pack is designed for a natural response across the entire drumhead.

Given that a set of ddrum's own Pro Acoustic triggers retails for under £200 and is an easy, and proven, method of combining acoustic and electronic sounds, it's a toss up. The question that begs to be asked is whether the Hybrid - with its built-in units for convenience - is preferable to a standard acoustic kit with triggers added post-purchase. Having said that, all triggers on the kit are single zone, where some may have hoped for a dual-zone head/ rim trigger on snare. The snare is also a crisp performer, sharing some of the dryness and focus of the toms, but with enough body (thanks to the 6" depth) to deliver a solid backbeat.īearing in mind ddrum's pre-eminence in the trigger market, there's little to worry about with the electronics. The shallow sizes of the toms not only look pretty funky, but they're very much 'of the moment' in that they respond quickly - a good choice for ambitious metal fills for example. It's always easy to damp livelier heads to suit, of course. This might suit you perfectly, of course, but it's certainly quite a 'specific' sound straight from the box - we would probably swap the supplied heads for something with a little more natural zing fairly quickly. The overall impression is of a very focussed, dry response with quite a pronounced mid-range and little ring. The Hybrid is supplied with Mylar heads with internal damping rings for toms and kick batters, and this has a very noticeable effect on tone. Tuning is relatively pain-free, with just the odd sticky tuning rod needing to be coaxed into co-operation. In terms of construction, the Hybrid is all very tidy, so it goes together very well and there's a noticeably 'sorted' feeling from the rig once you're sat behind the assembled kit.

All electronics are set within the drums. Each trigger has a red steel 'guard' to prevent a direct hit, and at first glance these look like standard mounted triggers.
