The Roland TM-1 is a super-compact, battery-powered trigger module designed to add electronic sounds to any acoustic drum kit or percussion setup with minimal hassle. With two trigger inputs, it lets you trigger powerful drum and percussion sounds using acoustic drum triggers, pads, or even a kick pedal.
