Snare Drum Trigger with Dual Zone

The snare drum is the heart of any drum kit — acoustic or electronic
In e-drumming, using a high-quality dual zone snare drum trigger allows you to capture the full range of playing techniques: center hits, rimshots, cross-sticks, and dynamic control

If you’re building a hybrid kit or upgrading your electronic snare pad, choosing the right dual zone trigger is essential
That’s where our solutions come in — reliable, responsive, and compatible across the board

What Is a Dual Zone Snare Trigger

A dual zone trigger allows the drum module to receive two separate signals from the same drum
One trigger is typically placed at the center (head zone) to detect regular strokes
The second trigger is positioned at the edge or rim zone to detect rimshots or cross-sticks

This setup enables drummers to assign different sounds to each zone, increasing expression and realism
It's especially important for snare technique where ghost notes, rim clicks, and accents all play a role

Types of Snare Drum Triggers

Internal triggers are mounted inside the drum shell, out of sight and protected from sticks
External triggers attach to the rim and are easier to install but may be more exposed to accidental damage
Some systems use piezo-based technology to detect head and rim separately, while others combine piezo and switch-type sensing for better isolation

Dual zone snare triggers can be added to acoustic drums to convert them into electronic pads or used in full mesh pads designed with built-in sensors
