Smartrigger Cymbal Features
Smartrigger Electronic Cymbals feature many improvements over previous electronic cymbals
including:
Authentic Playability is accomplished by using real brass alloy metal cymbals. This
means that your sticks respond to the playing surface the exact same way as they do
when using real acoustic cymbals.
Acoustic Dampening – our special patent pending dampening layer provides several
important features:
o Vibration dampening to reduce the actual sound of the cymbal by more than
90%.
o Waveform reduction reduces the secondary cymbal vibrations eliminating double
triggering.
o Shock buffering from the trigger housing.
Authentic Aesthetics means that your cymbals look like cymbals not pieces of
recycled black rubber tires. The vibration dampening layer on the bottom of the cymbal
is clear! This allows the bottom of the cymbal to look just like a real acoustic cymbal
when mounted on a stand. You audience will never know you are using electronic
cymbals!
Natural Swinging Motion means that your cymbals respond and swing naturally when
struck, allowing you to concentrate on your playing while reducing the negative effects
on the human body which come from hitting stationary objects that have no “give”. The
cymbals absorbs the impact, not your body.
New Dual Piezo Designs - Several of the Smartrigger Cymbals provide a new patent
pending “ring” piezo sensor centrally located under the bell of the cymbal. Mounting
directly under the bell, at the center, allows even edge to edge triggering and authentic
bell playing on a single cymbal surface.
Easier Choke – a wider 180 degree choke switch provides easier crash cymbal choking
on half of the cymbal’s surface.
