Turn your acoustic snare or tom into a trigger for electronic sounds – without changing its acoustic tone. The Yamaha DT50S is a dual-zone drum trigger that clamps on the hoop of an acoustic snare, tom or floor tom and sends head and rim trigger signals to a drum trigger module. Its solid die-cast metal body is made for durability.
Why customers choose it
