Roland TM-2 Acoustic Drum Trigger Module Hybrid Percussion

The Roland TM-2 Trigger Module is purpose-built for acoustic drummers who want to blend electronic sounds into their existing kit without the complexity or cost of a full electronic drum brain. With 162 onboard sounds — spanning acoustic drum layers, world percussion, electronic hits, and tonal elements — the TM-2 gives you immediate access to professionally designed samples that can thicken your live sound through a PA system or add entirely new textures. The two trigger inputs accept both single- and dual-trigger pads, meaning you can connect a kick trigger and a side-mounted pad, two bar triggers on toms, or any combination of compatible Roland triggers and pads.

Where the TM-2 truly earns its place on stage is in its portability and ease of use. The included mounting plate bolts directly to a hi-hat stand or drum rack via a standard multi-clamp, keeping the module at arm's reach without adding another stand to an already crowded stage. Battery power lasts up to four hours on four AA cells, freeing you from hunting for outlet space at gigs. For drummers who want to go beyond the built-in library, the SDHC card slot opens up the ability to trigger custom WAV files — from one-shot samples to full backing tracks — giving you a flexible playback tool that fits in the palm of your hand. Built-in effects including reverb, delay, and flanger let you shape your triggered sounds directly from the unit before they hit the mix.
