INTRODUCTION

FIELD electronic cymbals and drums produce no sound themselves and require an exter-

nal sound module in order to produce sounds. FIELD electronic drums and cymbals can

be used to trigger unlimited MIDI instruments or devices by using a “Trigger to MIDI” inter-

face.

FIELD electronic drum and cymbal triggers are uniquely designed to be plug and play

compatible with the wide range of sound modules available on the market today that

recognize piezo triggers including sound modules made by manufacturers such as:

Roland™, Yamaha™, Alesis™, Pearl™, D-Drum™, and Nord™.

FIELD electronic drums and cymbals are designed to be used with standard pedals,

sticks, brushes, mallets, and mountable on any standard drum stands, cymbal stands,

drum racks, or mounting arms. FIELD cymbals should be mounted using standard

cymbal stands, mounts, and felt washers. FIELD drums come standard for use with L-Rod

mounts on stands and drum racks.

Cables are needed to connect FIELD electronic drums and cymbals to a sound module

or “Trigger to MIDI” interface. “Right angle” (1/4“) quarter inch TRS cables are recom-

mended.

NOTE: 10-inch Splash Cymbals and 16”China cymbals can only be connected using

”Right Angle” (1/4”) quarter inch TRS plugs due to the shape of the cymbals.

CYMBAL MOUNTING

FIELD electronic cymbals are designed to be mounted on any standard cymbal stand

or mounting arm. Typical cymbal stands come with a 6mm or 8mm threaded mounting

rod, felt washers, and a wing-nut.

Your FIELD cymbal should be mounted between two felt washers with the wing-nut

screwing on top.

DRUM MOUNTING

FIELD electronic drums are designed to be mounted on any standard 10-12mm L-Rod

mounting arm. Drum stands with L-Rod mounts are typical and readily available.

Your FIELD drums should be mounted securely with the wing-nut tightened to the L-Rod.

Snare drums are designed for use with standard snare drum stands.

CYMBAL MOUNTING

MOUNTING HI-HAT

About Hi-Hat Cymbals

FIELD electronic hi-hat cymbals come in two models. FIELD hi-hats are uniquely designed

to be mounted on a wide variety of standard hi-hat stands with pedals or fixed mounting.

FIELD electronic hi-hat cymbals come fully assembled including a top and bottom

cymbal and a standard hi-hat clutch. Simply take your FIELD hi-hat out of the box, place

it on a standard hi-hat stand, and you are ready to plug it in and play.

Hi-Hat FIXED “foot controller is required”

The foot controller is responsible for the difference between “open” and “closed” hi-hat

sounds. Roland FD-7, FD-8 or Pintech HHC RYC Hi-Hat Stand Mounted Controller are

examples of compatible controllers. Many other brands and types of foot controllers are

also available.

Hi-Hat TRADITIONAL has a built in controller. The internal controller is responsible for the

difference between “open” and “closed” hi-hat sounds. The hi-hat needs to be mount-

ed on a standard hi-hat stand that uses a standard hi-hat clutch or standard drop clutch

for double bass players. Super clutches with a set screw lock are not needed and should

not be used due to FIELD’s unique internal controller configuration.

MOUNTING:

To mount the hi-hat, slide the top and bottom hi-hat cymbals along with the clutch

over the hi-hat stand mounting post. Raise the top hi-hat cymbal up until it stops and

then tighten the wing-nut to the hi-hat post as you would any standard hi-hat.

CONNECTION:

Plug in the hi hat and foot control jacks to the corresponding inputs.

Connect the HH CTRL input from the sound module to the HH CTRL output of the Hi-Hat.

Connect the Hi Hat input from the sound module to the Hi Hat output of the Hi-Hat.

STRIKING AREA:

The intended striking area of the hi-hat cymbal is located on the opposite side of the

FIELD logo as shown below. Position the hi-hat so that the FIELD logo is located directly

across from where you are striking the hi-hat for optimal triggering response

Follow your sound module’s instruction manual for any further setup or calibration need

for optimal playing.

HI-HAT ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY:

Your FIELD hi-hat comes pre-assembled, no need for assembly. However if you choose to

disassemble and reassemble the hi hat or remove an re- install the hi hat clutch simply

losen the clutch wing nut and screw/unscrew clutch from hi hat controller. Be sure to use

the included felt spacers between internal controller and inside top hi hat bell.

1. Use a STANDARD style clutch and tighten top threaded nuts as far to the top of

clutch head as possible. Use included felt spacers for proper closed position

adjustment. (see fig A)

2. Screw clutch into internal threaded controller as shown. Connect top and bottom

cymbals via TRS phono jack. Make sure wires do not interfere with clutch and plunger.

(see fig B)

3. Top and Bottom Hi Hat should fully touch. Internal felt washers should be in contact

with inside top of hi hat bell and top of internal controller to achieve a closed sound

from you sound module. (see fig C)

Position the (FIELD Logo) so that it is facing away from the player for optimal triggering

response.

SETUP OVERVIEW

There are many factors that will affect the playability and triggering response on a wide

variety of sound modules.

The main factors in determining how well your electronic drums and cymbals play and

respond are matching the SENSITIVITY (GAIN) and VELOCITY CURVES to your playing style.

You may find that you need to make no adjustments at all unless you are a significantly

hard or soft player. Switching from drumsticks to brushes to mallets may also require

some minor adjustments. The following information is a starting point for setting your

module for use with FIELD electronic drums and cymbals.

Start with the default recommended trigger input settings and then adjust your module’s

settings to best match your needs. If you are a heavy hitter and use heavy sticks, you will

most likely need to set the GAIN/SENSITIVITY lower so that you can achieve full dynamic

range (most variation between soft and loud sounds). When setting GAIN/SENSITIVITY

parameters, the meter on your sound module that shows you how hard you are hitting

the device should barely peak out when you are striking the device as hard as you will

ever play it.

We recommend starting with a LINEAR CURVE. This means that the velocity at which you

strike the trigger device directly correlates to the output on a MIDI scale.

(BOW/EDGE OUTPUT) = TIP = BOW SOUND / RING = EDGE SOUND

(BELL OUTPUT) = TIP =BELL SOUND

NOTE:

If you wish to separate the output on the cymbal for two separate inputs on the sound

module, you must use a Ring to Tip Y adapter. The Y adapter is useful for using separate

sound module inputs on one cymbal. This is used for further zone isolation and sound

options.

NOTE: Make sure the trigger type “PP Piezo” is selected on both Tip

and Ring for Dual Zone triggers. Make sure that your trigger’s

“Trigger Type” is configured correctly before editing or using it. If the

Trigger Type is configured incorrectly, your trigger may not function.

3 Zone Ride Cymbal with Choke “trigger type”

1. Connect the ride to the Alesis Trigger iO by connecting BOW/EDGE cymbal output

to Ride Input, (set to type “PS.”) 2. Connect BELL cymbal output to Aux input (set to

type “PS.”) Tip is Piezo and Ring is Switch.

NOTE: In PS trigger type mode the edge sound will not function.

NOTE: PP means Piezo to Piezo. PS means Piezo to Switch. See your sound module owners manual for more details.

NOTE: If the Trigger type setting listed do not give the desired results, simply switch trigger type and adjust setings to your liking.

NOTE: Some modules input jacks do not accept dual zone triggers. Using a Y splitter to attach between the trigger and two separate inputs of the

sound module can be used to achieve dual zone. The Y splitter must connect the Tip and the Rim from the trigger then split to two separate Tips.
