Description

The Roland RT-30HR Acoustic Drum Trigger is a dual zone trigger designed for drummers who want to bring electronic sounds into an acoustic setup without losing the feel of real drums. It captures both head and rim hits from a snare or tom, so you can play articulations like rimshots or cross stick and fire different sounds from a compatible module. Whether you are building a hybrid kit for live shows, adding samples in the studio, or exploring creative layers at home, the RT-30HR delivers a simple and reliable way to expand your sound while keeping your existing drums at the heart of your playing.

Built to perform, the RT-30HR features a precise sensor and a self guided mounting system that positions the trigger for optimum response the moment you tighten it to the hoop. The compact housing keeps out of the way of your sticks, and the secure clamp resists movement even under energetic playing. Compared with basic student triggers, it offers true dual zone performance, more consistent tracking across the dynamic range, and a sturdier, longer lasting design that stands up to regular gigging, transport and rehearsal.

For lessons and school use across the UK, the RT-30HR makes hybrid setups quick to deploy and easy to manage. Teachers can clip it onto a shared kit in seconds and connect to a module for click tracks, percussion voices or backing layers that support graded pieces and ensemble work. It helps keep levels controlled in rehearsal through a module and mixer, and when paired with a compatible module and reduced volume heads it supports quieter practice with headphones. Durable, adaptable and simple to fit, it is a cost effective way for students and institutions to add modern versatility to existing acoustic drums.

Features

Dual zone head and rim triggering

Capture head strokes and rim articulations from a single drum and assign different sounds for each zone. The RT-30HR recognises subtle dynamics and rimshots, so your playing nuances translate naturally into the connected sound module for expressive hybrid performance.

Self guided mounting for fast, accurate setup

The self guided mechanism aligns the sensor to the ideal spot on the head as you tighten the clamp, removing guesswork and speeding up installation. It grips securely to the hoop to stay in place during energetic playing, and it detaches just as quickly when you need to move between drums.

Compact, durable design that stays out of the way

A robust ABS housing and a compact profile help prevent accidental stick contact while withstanding daily use, transport and stage conditions. The stable construction delivers consistent triggering from practice room to stage without constant readjustment.

Broad compatibility with Roland modules

Connect via a standard TRS lead to compatible Roland trigger inputs on TM, TD and SPD series modules. Assign sounds, balance sensitivity and integrate the trigger into click, sample and percussion setups to suit everything from live performance to tuition and rehearsal.
