Overview

The Roland RT-30HR Dual Trigger is purpose-built for drummers who want to integrate electronic sounds into their acoustic setup without compromising their playing experience. Unlike single-zone triggers that detect only head strikes, the RT-30HR features two independent sensors — one for the drumhead and one for the rim — allowing you to assign different electronic samples to each zone. Strike the head for a layered snare sample, hit the rim for a clap or electronic effect, and blend acoustic and electronic textures in real time during live performance or studio recording.

Installation is straightforward thanks to Roland's self-guided mount system, which clamps onto nearly any metal drum hoop, including modern inward-curved designs. No tools are required, and the compact, low-profile body sits unobtrusively on the rim so it stays out of your stick path. A TRS connection cable comes included, ready to plug into Roland's TM-2 Trigger Module, any TD-series V-Drums sound module, or SPD-series percussion pad. The RT-30HR delivers the sensitivity and accuracy that hybrid drummers need — picking up ghost notes and rimshots with minimal latency — making it an essential component for anyone looking to expand their sonic palette while keeping the natural feel of an acoustic snare drum at the center of their kit.
