is there any particular reason why this trigger method is acceptable for bass drums and not snares or toms?
The reason i ask is simply because other manufactured triggers simple attach to the edge of the head by the rim.
Is there a difference triggering an acoustic drum vs a edrum with a mesh head? Ive noticed most edrums use the piezo mount in the middle of the head. but acoustic triggers mount on the rim. sorry if this is stupid, im just trying to get some info before i decide which method to use.
The biggest difference is the “noise”: The mesh heads on an ekit are silent and will allow you to hear only the triggered samples. This is great for late night playing!

I think it all has to do with positional sensing. This is not an issue on a kick drum but on snares and toms the peizo needs to be in the center of the head to enable positional sensing to work. I guess that on acoustic triggers they sacrifice the positional sensing for ease of use.
