Featuring two trigger inputs compatible with single- and dual-trigger pads, it offers precise triggering and a suite of studio-quality effects. Its lightweight design and included mounting plate make it ideal for live performance and hybrid drum setups across all music genres. ## Description Battery powered and small in size, the TM-2 Trigger Module provides a simple solution for enhancing acoustic drums with the creative versatility of electronic percussion. Two trigger inputs support a wide variety of pads and drum triggers from Roland, while the ready-to-play pro sounds are optimized for augmenting live acoustic drums and extending the percussion capabilities of any drum set. Studio-quality multi-effects are on tap to process your kits, and you can even trigger your own custom WAV sounds, loops, and backing tracks via an SDHC card. By combining the TM-2 with products such as Roland’s BT-1 Bar Trigger Pad, KT-10 Kick Trigger Pedal, or RT-series acoustic drum triggers, it’s never been easier or more affordable to create a powerful hybrid drum kit that blends acoustic and electronic elements together. Review: Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this thing - Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this thing. I play in a death metal band (Boarcorpse), and I use a combination of single strokes and double stroke rolls with my feet. (My doubles are heel-up, not feathering) I was using the Alesis DM5, which most of you reading this probably know is the bottom of the barrel trigger module, but it's used by almost everyone at some point. I knew the sounds on the DM5 were garbage, but I didn't realize how inaccurately it was triggering, until I bought the TM2. I'm not exaggerating at all when I say, switching from the DM5 to the TM2 made a HUGE difference in my kick skills. It's just so much more accurate. Yes, it only has 2 trigger inputs (1/4 inch), so it wouldn't work with an entire electronic kit, but it's perfect for a hybrid kit. (All acoustic drums and either a triggered kick drum, or an electronic kick drum) I use the Roland TD120 as my kick. When I started messing with the TM2, I found a setting on it that let's you select either a type of trigger or a specific pad model. So I was able to select "TD120" within the TM2, and it immediately started triggering perfectly with what I was playing. I can't stress enough how big a difference it's made having a brain that accurately represents what I'm playing, I LOVE it. I should mention that when I ordered this, the description made it sound like it ran on batteries (even says batteries required in the description) and it does NOT mention coming with an AC adapter. So I ordered an aftermarket AC adapter when I ordered the TM2, only to realize that it DID come with an AC adapter when it arrived, it's just also capable of running on batteries. I'm not 100% sure why you'd want to use batteries with it, if you're using it, you're plugging the output into an amp or PA to amplify the sound, so obviously you have access to electricity.... anyways, I guess the battery thing is an interesting option, I just think it's unnecessary. Oh, you can also load your own sounds onto it. That's huge in my book. I haven't gotten around to doing it yet, but even without that option it's a 5 star product. Review: Roland Tm-2 Drum Trigger Module - The Roland TM-2 is a great trigger module. I use it on the kick drum. You can upload a custom wave file downloaded to an SD card for your unique custom sound and it has ready to play sounds. Dimensions are 5 1/4 by 5 1/4 by 2 1/4. It's battery powered too, I use the power supply that comes with it. It has 2 trigger inputs and outputs. You can add more with Y cables. You can connected the left mono output to a interface input for recording to a computer software or out to a DI box to a mixing board for live. Setup was very easy to program and save my uploaded settings (SD card). You don't have to, I would make sure all your settings are good with your playing style. Easy to custom go to new kit and set. Everybody's setup will be a little bit different take time and learn yours. Curve- liner is ok (regular) loud 2 is better for me (it's louder then liner). Threshold- might loop if to high or low (stops double hits from happening). Sensitivity- (might not pick up your hits if it's not set high or low enough). X talk cancel I leave at the (default). Instrument edit is important too. Here Level is set to 100 (maximum output) and Dynamics is set to- Max not liner. Max elemonates all dynamics so all hits are the same for my kick drum. Make sure your drum heads are tuned right so you sound good acoustically and digitally! Good luck in drumming and finding your sound! ## Features - Compact trigger module for acoustic drummers looking to enhance their kits with electronic percussion - 162 ready-to-play professional sounds, ranging from acoustic drums and percussion to modern electronic instruments - Includes many sounds and tonal elements designed for layering with acoustic drums, providing enhanced, high-impact sounds for playing live drums through a PA system - Suitable for all genres, from rock and metal to electronic music - SDHC card slot lets users trigger their own WAV sounds stored on SDHC media, from one-shot samples and loop phrases to complete backing tracks - Two trigger inputs that support both single- and dual-trigger pads - Simple and intuitive user interface for creating and selecting kits - Process kits with powerful effects such as reverb, flanger, delay, and more - Powered by batteries or included AC adapter; runs for up to four hours on four AA-size batteries - Included mounting plate allows the TM-2 to be attached to a hi-hat stand or drum rack with a standard multi-clamp ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IBIUZGW | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,097 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #4 in Electronic Drum Triggers | | Body Material | Acoustic | | Brand Name | Roland | | Color | Black | | Connector Type | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (241) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00761294504352 | | Included Components | not included | | Item Dimensions | 20.43 x 16.57 x 11.57 inches | | Item Type Name | TM-2 Acoustic Drum Trigger Module (TM-2) | | Item Weight | 454 Grams | | Manufacturer | Roland | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | (TM-2) | | Model Number | TM-2 | | Part Number | TM-2 | | UPC | 761294504352 | | Warranty Description | See manufacturer's website for details. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Roland - **Color:** Black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 20.43 x 16.57 x 11.57 inches - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Model Name:** (TM-2) ## Images ![TM-2 Acoustic Drum Trigger Module - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/511hTNUh7eL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can the Roland drum pads be used with this module?** A: Yes. You have 2 stereo trigger inputs. So, you can use 2 double zone pads or 4 single zone pads, using a "Y" cable to split the stereo jack of the TM-2 into 2 mono jacks for the pads. **Q: Does this Unit comes with the mounting plate?** A: roland tm2 does NOT come with the plate. we ordered 2 of these and just thought they were missing, we were informed by roland it does not come with unit, $49 and change for the plate and adapter, ridiculous **Q: Is there a way to connect this to a TD-11 drum module?** A: Hello! If the TD11 has a line input, you can conect the TM2 asa mp3 reproductor (or anything that gives you a line signal). I do that with a SPD-S. Other option you have is connecting them through MIDI port (if TD11 has it). This way, what you are going to be doing is triggering TD11 sounds from TM2. This seems a little unusefull, but it doesnΒ΄t. You can Layer sounds, triggering both sounds (the TM2 and TD11) at the same time. This is a functionvery important in TM2 for Hybrid drumming. **Q: Can I use this e drum module with another e drum kit?** A: Yes, but you will have to adjust the trigger settings such as threshold or sensitivity to have to pad respond the way you like it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this thing *by J***S on February 9, 2018* Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this thing.

I wouldn't recommend using it with batteries as it will just shut off on its own when they are getting low. Easy to find a good sound and modify that sound to suit your tastes. I'm using it for my double kick drums with Roland triggers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Roland TM-2 Acoustic Drum Trigger Module - Roland RT-30K Bass Drum Trigger for Hybrid Drumming - Roland Electronic Drum Accessory (BT-1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/20508322-tm-2-acoustic-drum-trigger-module](https://www.desertcart.at/products/20508322-tm-2-acoustic-drum-trigger-module) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
