Roland TM-2 Trigger Module for Hybrid Drum Kits

The Roland TM-2 is a compact, battery-powered trigger module that bridges the gap between acoustic and electronic drumming. With two 1/4-inch TRS trigger inputs, 162 built-in professional drum sounds, and support for up to 90,300 custom WAV samples via SD card, the TM-2 gives drummers instant access to a world-class electronic sound library from any acoustic kit.

Designed for working drummers who want maximum portability, the TM-2 runs on four AA batteries for up to 4.5 hours — no wall outlet required. Its 16-character backlit LCD display and intuitive interface make kit selection and customization fast even mid-session. MIDI IN/OUT connectivity allows integration with external sound modules and DAWs, while the included mounting plate attaches to any standard hi-hat stand or rack post.

The onboard 11-type multi-effects engine adds reverb, delay, flanger, and more, making the TM-2 equally capable in the studio and on stage. With 99 fully customizable kits and a stereo output alongside a dedicated headphone jack, the TM-2 is the most versatile, portable hybrid drum brain Roland has ever produced at this size and price point.
