* The performance of the RT-Series can be affected by 

elements such as the type of drum being used, the tuning 
and use of a mute. For best performance, refer to both the 
drum trigger's and sound module's Owner's Manual and set 
the trigger parameters accordingly.

* Be sure to mute the bass and snare drum (toms can also be 

muted if external vibrations are picked up).

* Use a mute ring or mute-type drum head to improve the 

performance of the RT-5S Snare Trigger.

Once installed, there are several ways to 

use RT-Series triggers to play external 

sounds. The easiest setup involves 

Roland’s TD-Series and SPD-Series 

Percussion Sound Modules, since they 

offer hundreds of high-quality sounds 

and direct connection to the triggers. 

You can also use Roland’s TMC-6 Trigger 

MIDI Converter to act as a “bridge” 

between the triggers and a MIDI module 

or sequencer. 

Roland’s TMC-6 Trigger MIDI Converter changes the trigger impulses received from 

the RT-Series into MIDI messages—making it possible to play MIDI modules like 

Roland’s XV-2020, or even record your performance into a sequencer. This type of 

setup not only gives you the most flexibility in terms of sounds, but also the ability 

to create more natural drum tracks when sequencing in the studio—be it on a 

computer or hardware sequencer.

In this example, an RT-7K Kick Trigger and RT-5S Snare Trigger are connected 

to an SPD-S Sampling Pad. The SPD-S not only contains a selection of preset 

sounds, but can also sample—making this the easiest way to add sampling to 

an acoustic set. Using the SPD-S’ Velocity Switch setting, you can set the snare 

and bass drum each to trigger a different sample depending on how hard 

the drum is hit. For example, a strong hit could trigger a gated sound while a 

lighter hit could trigger a dry sound.

By connecting RT-Series triggers (installed on the kick, snare and toms) to one 

of Roland’s TD-Series brains—like the TD-10, TD-8 and TD-6—you can play 

high-quality V-Drums sounds right from your acoustic set, or blend electronic 

and acoustic sounds to create more unique sounds. Create the ultimate kick 

drum by combining the acoustic kick with an electronic kick, or trigger 

orchestral stabs from the snare’s rim. You can even trigger sequences, such as a 

bass pattern, using the TD-Series’ Tap Sequence function. To advance through 

the sequenced notes, just tap on the kick. The possibilities are endless! 

Roland’s percussion sound modules have become the mainstays of drummers 

and percussionists because of their high-quality sounds. With the RT-Series, 

acoustic drummers can take advantage of these world-class sounds without 

complicated setups, since each module includes several Trigger inputs. The 

RT-Series is compatible with TD-Series modules (TD-10/8/6), the SPD-20 and 

SPD-S, and the HPD-15 HandSonic

®

—giving acoustic drummers options 

galore and sounds ranging from acoustic and electronic drums to sound 

effects, world percussion and more.

The RM-2 Rhythm Coach is an integrated 

metronome/sound module with a built-in 

“Rhythm Coach” rhythm training function. It 

features a dual-trigger input for playing separate 

snare/rim sounds while practicing. It’s perfect for 

use with the PCK-1 Practice Conversion Kit, 

which includes a quiet 14-inch mesh head, RT-5S 

Snare Trigger and rubber rim silencer.

The TMC-6 makes it easy to trigger 

MIDI modules and samplers from 

an acoustic drum set, or expand 

the trigger inputs of electronic kit. 

Lightning-fast V-Drums triggering 

technology ensures accurate and 

reliable triggering for 

uncompromised performance.
