Roland TM-2 Trigger Module

Love it

I’ve been trying this module first at my drum teacher and was very impressed with it. Since he used on triggers he could do some fun stuff and so I bought this one to give my Dm10 a break for a couple of years. I’m still using the TM-2 every gig and rehearsal and still very happy. I love that you can put some of your own samples in it while using a 32gb sd-card. If you’re wondering if it can use a bigger sd-card: the answer is no. There are some videos online how to set it up properly so I would recommend to watch those if you don’t know how to set it up

Very good module

Present sounds are alright, but to truly unleash its power it is better to experiment with your own sounds. Paired with an SPD module, you could have a great kick/sn trigger set separated so it's better to mix live, plus the 2 stereo trig-ins and 9 pads of the SPD. Lots of possibilities at a more affordable price than any TD-50 on the market these days.

Does a great job

Can handle up to 4 separate triggers. By itself it is almost a drum set. No wonder this product is so popular among drummers. Everything is perfect. The only thing that would be nice is to have some dedicated controls for EQ.

Amazing product!!!

This is a must for every drummer!! This module has a lot of pros -

it is Small and it can fit it everywhere, the company has new updates for the module with new sounds, you can insert your own sound with an Sd card pretty easy, also has a lot of youtube videos that will help you if you have a problem!

Price-to-quality ration 5 stars

I've got two of these to serve me. Once you get to know the menu and all the setting possibilities, it's like heaven. If you don't find the sound you're looking for you can Easily import it via SD card

Fantastic, buy this now!

A must have for any drummer who wants a consistent sound in a small club or bar. Engineers will love you and you may get a free drink, so it eventually pay for itself.

Good but could be better

While this module is highly recommended by many people and in use by many renowned drummers, it has two significant downsides I wish I knew before buying it.

Even though it is a powered unit, the output channels are not balanced. Since my kick trigger signal goes directly into a stage box to FoH I need a DI Box to make the signal transmittable over such a long distance.

Furthermore, the output volume is way below what I would expect from a line leve signal, which is what I expect from a powered module. But alass this can be fixed by adding lots of gain in the mixing consoles mic preamp.

So since both issues are easily fixed, it gets a good rating. But I just don't get why roland would save money by ommiting a propper balanced line out channel.

Perfect trigger module!

This is the perfect solution for kick trigger!

Roland tm2

I use the Roland TM2 on both my accoustic drumkits (My band kit & my big home kit) to trigger the bassdrum(s)

Its a very light & compact module so easy to switch from kit to kit and with the holder that comes in the package its very easy to attach the tm2 with a multiclamp to any cymbal stand or hihat stand.

Best module on the market

This is just the best trigger module on the market. I have been using this for a long time before finally buying my own. It's simply the best. Light and small, you trigger what You need from 2 up to 4 channels. I'm using my own kick sound, and I also have my own snare sound, everything recorded in a professional studio, even though I'm triggering only the kick for now. Couldn't be happier!
