Acoustic feel. Electronic features. Zero fuss
Perhaps you’re intrigued by electronic percussion, but your love for the acoustic vibe has stopped you taking the plunge with a full digital kit. We hear you. The TM-2 Trigger Module doesn’t force you to kiss off your trusty acoustic kit – this unit hops onboard to augment it. Affordable, easy-to-use and with no wiring spaghetti junction thanks to the option of AA battery power, this compact unit mounts easily and discretely onto a hi-hat stand or drum rack, while the intuitive display and no-nonsense controls ensure you don’t miss a beat live.
You’ve come a long way with shells and skins. But now, with every session and song demanding a different vibe, you’re starting to realise there are some sounds that acoustic drums can’t deliver. The good news: there’s no need to ditch your beloved kit or dig deep for a full electronic setup. The Roland TM-2 Trigger Module brings the two worlds together, attaching instantly to your acoustic kit and fusing all the features of electronic percussion into your performance.
Technophobes relax: the Roland TM-2 Trigger Module isn’t here to mess with the feel or ruin the raw tone you love about your acoustic kit.

A massive choice of pro kit sounds and studio-quality multi-FX come ready-to-play in the TM-2, and it’s easy to blend these digital drum sounds with the ‘raw’ tone of your acoustic kit for truly personalised tones – triggered with one hit of your stick.
Plus, with the option of loading in your own custom WAV sounds, loops, samples and backing tracks via SDHC card, alongside twin inputs to support Roland pads and triggers like the BT-1, KT-10 and RT-10 series, the TM-2 is the fastest and most flexible way for acoustic drummers to harness electronic features and create a hybrid kit.
