Description
Additional Triggering for V-Drums Kits
If you're a V-Drums player, the compact BT-1 makes it simple to incorporate additional triggers without having to add more pads. This gives you access to additional sounds, as well as convenient control of an enormous range of performance features in your V-Drums module or an SPD-series percussion pad. And with its small size, it's easy to add additional BT-1s as needed to continuously expand the expressive power of your Roland percussion rig.
Easily Incorporate Electronics with Acoustic Drums
The BT-1 is an easy and affordable way to integrate electronics with your acoustic kit. Unlike large round pads and inconvenient foot switches, the BT-1 blends seamlessly with your kit without adjusting your setup or playing style. Simply plug the BT-1 into a trigger input on a V-Drums module or SPD-series percussion pad and enjoy a universe of new possibilities that Roland electronic percussion brings.

I have mounted on my floor tom, and it's accessible, but out of the way. Good action and sensitivity.
Not worth the price.

Great for expanding an electronic drum kit. You can fit it anywhere. Easy to position and move around as needed. Mount on a drum rim or on stand. Works with any sound module. Velocity sensitive and I found if you grab it and hit it, you can choke the sound.

I have a TD-17 kit. Is the BT-1 a "plug n play", or is there a separate module needed to add it?
I'm sorry but I'm not sure. Does your TD-17 have the ability to be expanded? The BT-1 require a input to the module.submitted4 years ago

Bought a mesh-head kit for quietness regarding the drum-stick making contact with the material/drum-heads (because contact with my older rubber-pad triggers can be heard from nearby rooms). Is this BT-1 trigger-material loud or soft when a stick makes contact with it? In other words, is the stick-contact likely or unlikely to be heard from someone in a nearby room? Thank you for any info.
I'm sorry to say I know of no set that doesn't produce the unwanted stick noise. Please give us a call if you would like some help 877 687 5403submitted4 years ago
