Members HellYesJess Posted April 17, 2003 Members Share Posted April 17, 2003 Im looking for info on how to pull off an idea. Please help if you can. I want to have those low subwoofer blasts that bands use from time to time. I know that it is triggered by the drummer somehow but what gear is used. I hope I am at least intellegible with my question. Also what is a good piece of gear for running samples like movie clips and stuff? Thanks for any help.

I hope I am at least intellegible with my question. Also what is a good piece of gear for running samples like movie clips and stuff? Thanks for any help. I'm interested in this myself. I know you would need a drum module or brain. A lot of guys use the Alesis DM5 or DM5 Pro module. It runs about 250.00-300.00 new and on eBay will cost you a little less. Then of course you would need triggers or trigger pads. As for samples and things like that, Roland has come out with a new Sampler called the SPD-S. That runs about 500.00. I believe you would use the pads on it and you can also use triggers. I'm really interested in this as well. Hopefully some one more knowledgeable will have more to add. Oh, here's links to the products I mentioned: http://www.rolandus.com/products/details.asp?catid=5&subcatid=26&prodid=SPD%2DS http://www.alesis.com/products/dm5/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mkrps Posted April 17, 2003 Members Share Posted April 17, 2003 You can use just about any sound module to get the super low-end 'thump' and trigger it with a pad or pedal. This can be accomplished with either separate sound modules (Alesis, Yamaha, Roland, etc...) and a pad or pedal attached to it, or else you can use an all-in-one sound/pad unit like the Roland SPD series. Most of those sound modules have a low tone or else you can tweak a kick drum sound to get that rumble. If you want to sample sounds, you would also need a sampler or that new Roland pad mentioned which incorporates sampling & triggering in one unit. A cost-effective method for recording/playing the movie sound clips is to use a regular tape recorder onstage. Just record what you want then hook the tape deck up to your PA and have someone push 'play' at the appropriate time. that's the 'old school' way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangerkarlos Posted April 17, 2003 Members Share Posted April 17, 2003 Run the instrument through a noise gate that has the key triggered by the bass drum, either mic'd or with a trigger. The piece of gear is a gate, commonly referred to as a noise gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
