Drum Triggers
ddrum was founded in Sweden in the late 1980s by Hans Nordelius. Initially, the company focused on producing high-quality acoustic drum shells. However, as electronic music gained popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, there was an increasing demand for electronic drum triggers that could convert acoustic drum hits into electronic signals.
In response to this demand, ddrum began developing and manufacturing drum triggers in the early 1990s. These early triggers were designed to be attached to acoustic drum shells or drumheads and could convert drum hits into MIDI signals, allowing drummers to trigger electronic sounds, samples, or MIDI notes. ddrum’s triggers quickly gained popularity among drummers, producers, and electronic musicians for their reliability and performance.
Over the years, ddrum continued to innovate and improve its drum trigger technology, introducing new features such as dual-zone triggering, velocity sensitivity, and compatibility with different drum sizes and types. The company’s triggers became an essential tool for drummers looking to expand their sonic capabilities and integrate electronic elements into their performances.
