Almost perfect

I'm all about the lowest cost to highest feature style of buying, and that's why I bought these. Work acceptionally well if set correctly on your interface (have crosstalk and gain settings correct so they work right). They work well, acccept on my snare oddly enough. I use mutes on my drums with these for an apatment friendly recording setup and they work well on everything, including muted cymbals, except the snare. Just not responsive enough with a mute. I've purchased a mesh head to see if that'll solve the problem, if not I'm trying another trigger just for the snare.

For the past two years I have used the "Red Dot" drum trigger on a self designed foot pad to trigger my Alesis D-4. It has stood up over time with countless stomps of bass drum and hihat. A+

This is better than i expected

This product kinda had me wondering if it would actually work... I was fairly sceptical because of its absurdly low price, but when I got some they worked suprizingly well. They do have some downsides however, somtimes they fail to trigger when you are playing fast complex rythms. And even more irritating is that when two toms or somthing are triggered and they are on the same stand, the vibation on the stand from hitting the other trigger will trigger both... not so cool... but if you are looking for somthing cheap that works fairly decently, give these a try.

Great for acoustic bass

I'm using it for my stand up bass. I like it better than my old Underwood at a fraction of the cost! You can mess around with placement, I put mine in the "wing" on the bass side of the bridge and mounted the jack on the tailpiece with a cable tie. If the fit is loose, you can shim it with a washer or such. You can use an Arion effect set clean for a pre amp but you don't really need it, just a decent cord.
