Yamaha DT10 Drum Trigger Owner's Manual

The YAMAHA DT10 Drum Trigger is a highly sensitive and reliable trigger that can be easily installed on any acoustic drum head or shell. It uses a highly sensitive piezoceramic sensor to generate distinct trigger signals, which can be used with attached YAMAHA DTS70 and other devices. It features a durable plastic resin sensor head that is lightweight and does not affect the natural sound of the drum. The trigger can be attached to the drum shell, eliminating the need to move or transfer the sensor head when changing drum heads. The trigger unit can also be easily attached to other instruments, generating the same reliable trigger signal. It has a cable clamp that securely holds the trigger unit in place and allows for easy removal when needed. A thick clamp cushion absorbs irregular vibration and keeps the trigger cable away from the drum rim.

Frequently asked questions

Where should the sensor be installed on a drum head?

Install the sensor onto the drum head that will be struck and place it near the edge furthest away from the musician to prevent double triggering.

How do I remove the sensor when changing drum heads?

Carefully insert a knife or flat blade under the sensor and lightly pry to remove it before loosening the drum head.

What should I do if the sensor sensitivity decreases?

Change the adhesive tape and firmly reattach the sensor; if there is no improvement, the sensor must be replaced.
