ROLAND RT-10K/S/T ACOUSTIC DRUM TRIGGERS

Newly Improved Triggers for Kick, Snare, and Toms

Los Angeles, CA, January 17, 2006—With acoustic-drum triggering more popular now than ever, Roland has responded to requests from the market and has created these new-generation triggers: the RT-10K (for kick drums), RT-10S (for snare drums), and RT-10T (for toms). Physically smaller than their predecessors, the new 10-series triggers are easier to position. Best of all, they feature new trigger-sensing technology for improved response. The new sensor system is designed to eliminate false retriggering by offering an adjustable sensor structure (U.S. Patent No. 6,794,569). The reduced size and lighter weight of the triggers are helpful in improving sensitivity.
