The adding of electronics into acoustic drum setups isn’t quite as new as you may think, many tub thumpers have been creating and layering new sounds for a while now.

Adding electronics such as the Roland SPD-SX or BT-1 Trigger Bar gives you the flexibility to expand and create a host of “new sounds” from your kit, taking your playing to a new level.

Check out how easy the BT-1 trigger Bar is to use, setup and add to your kit and of course how Sarah Jones uses hers.

Also – take a look at the Roland Hybrid Tour – where you can join our professional drummer Craig Blundell and a host of others on location on a tour across the UK. Craig will be showcasing how to setup the ideal Hybrid Drumkit and what can work for you and your style.
