A revolution began more than 20 years ago and is growing stronger each year. It’s an A2E Drummers Revolution and thousands of drummers have already converted their acoustic drums into great electronic drums that are much better than small drum pads. Several electronic drum trigger products have been created through the years, as well as many DIY techniques for converting acoustic drums into great e-drums. And the drum triggers that may have started the revolution are the most sensitive and best responding drum triggers you can use to convert your own drum set. This video tests some of the most popular drum triggers against Extreme Drums Triggers to reveal which ones are your best choice for you to use with your drums.

The Drummers Revolution has allowed drummers to use any brand of acoustic drums and turn them into hybrid e-drums buy either installing drum triggers inside the drums or attaching triggers to the rims of the drums. A quiet mesh drumhead can be put on top of each drum instead of using standard acoustic heads. This makes the drums quiet enough for practicing at home and providing a new level of peace for those inside the house or apartment. Plus, the neighbors will no longer complain about the volume of the drums next door.

Drummers can use any make of drums, no matter whether they are Pearl drums, DW drums, Mapex, Yamaha, Ludwig, PDP, Tama, Gretsch, Sonor, Natal, Ayotte, Axis, Meinl, Noble & Cooley, Peavy, Premier, D'Addario, Camco, Fibes, or classic drums like Rogers or Slingerland. Any brand of drums can be converted into great full-size e-drums. All it takes are drum triggers, quiet mesh drum heads on top, and a drum module with drum and percussion sounds to choose from.

The converted acoustic drums are plugged into a drum module of the drummer's choosing where the drummer can enjoy dynamic drum and percussion sounds while wearing headphones.

The drum module can also be plugged into an amplifier and/or a PA system and used for live playing at clubs, concerts, or at church with the worship team. They can also be used in recording studios, where the studio engineer can select from any number of sounds for each drum.

Most drum modules today can also be plugged into a computer where the drummer or a studio engineer can access great sample sounds from software programs like Superior Drummer, Addictive Drums, Steven Slate Drums, Toontrack Ezdrummer, and others.

Electronic drum companies have produced over 100 different makes and models of drum modules through the years. Many of these are offered as Roland TD series V-drums modules, Alesis DM series modules, Yamaha DTX series. Ddrum, and 2Box modules are other companies who have been providing drum modules. Most of these companies have also been manufacturing small e-drums, and drum pads for several years. New drum modules have recently hit the market with names like ATV AD5, Pearl Mimic Pro, Alesis Strike Pro, as well as lesser known ones like Kat and GoEdrum. Simmons, who was one of the first e-drums companies in the early 1980s, has re-entered the playing field with newer drum modules and e-drums.

A few companies have also offered full-size hybrid acoustic e-drums. Names like Jobeky, Drum-Tec, ATV aDrums, Pearl E Pro, ddrum Hybrid, and Alesis Strike are some of the brands with larger e-drum sets.

The drum trigger market has skyrocketed over the last several years offering drummers several products to more easily turn their drums into e-drums. Companies like ddrum, Roland, Pintech, Magnatrack, ddt, Simmons, Yamaha, 2Box, Jobeky, Drumdial, Digi-Drum, Wronka Easytrigger, Triggera, Stealth, Helensson, and Aquarian are some of the brands available. And, a lot of people and companies sell components on eBay and Amazon to make DIY triggers.

But the beginning of the A2E Drummers Revolution may have been started by Marshall from Extreme Drums. He began building his own triggers and drum pads in 1992 and converted acoustic drums shortly after that. In 2003 Marshall put together the website ExtremeDrums.com and started selling full-size acoustic drum sets that he converted into e-drums using his custom made internal drum triggers. Most of what has evolved in the A2E Drummers Revolution has been a result of people and companies taking Marshall’s ideas and building on what he started in the mid-90s. Since the early years of his experimenting with drum triggers, Marshall has continually updated his trigger designs, making constant improvements to help his triggers outperform his competitors.
