Modifying Ddrum Red Shot triggers to improve accuracy

Описание: Welcome to my first and most awkward YouTube video! While painful for me to watch, 😩it's a useful tip. So this video lives on!

NOTE: Do this modification at your and your triggers' own risk! If you don't have experience with a soldering iron, learn about soldering precautions and safety first. :-)

If your Ddrum Red Shot drum rim triggers send inconsistent or inaccurate velocity readings to your drum trigger module, find out how I was able to make these triggers work reliably with my setup by improving them with this inexpensive mod.

These triggers are on acoustic drums with single ply mesh batter heads. Before the mod, the connected Yamaha DTX-502 trigger module picked up consistent drum hits with very inconsistent velocity readings. The settings in the DTX module couldn't correct the issue. So, since I could not return the triggers, I could either not use them or try to fix them. Thankfully, this fix worked for me.
