The Drums & Toms from the Vienna Symphonic Library is a sample-based virtual instrument featuring percussion instruments including snares, piccolos, and field drums, as well as bass drums, concert toms, and roto toms. Also included is the Taiko drum and tambourines.

Snare drums originate from the military and are found in most genres of popular music. The drum covers the treble register within the orchestra but has no definite pitch. It receives its name from the snare strings on the bottom of the shell. Piccolos are a slimmer snare drum with a higher register, while the field drum has larger shell. The bass drum covers the bass register within the orchestra percussion section and plays an essential role in all western styles of music. It is often played with a cymbal. For pop, jazz and rock, the bass drum is played with a kick pedal and is also known as a kick drum.

Concert toms are suspended and usually set up in batteries of four, six, or eight instruments. They typically are open ended and therefore have no resonances. Roto toms have no shell and are affixed to a metal hoops which can be adjusted to provide different pitches. Taiko drums are various barrel-shaped drums of Japanese origin. Tambourines are a framed drum augmented with small metal disks in slots around the frame and are typically played with the palm, fingers, or mallets.

Q: 1. Would this be cross compatible with a Godox 200pro flash head with a bare bulb attachment? Thank you.

A: Yes with with a bare bulb it will work very well

Q: 2. Can I use any electric drumset trigger with this? I have a Pearl Redbox kit and I'd like to switch the brain out for this.

A: According to Roland, when it comes to connecting non-Roland pads and triggers to the Roland TD-50X Prismatic V-Drums Sound Module, results can vary and chances are you will have to play around with the sensitivity and threshold settings of each pad or trigger in the module to get it to play smoothly, without crosstalk or mis-triggering. The latest TD-50X module now includes digital trigger ports which are compatible with the Roland digital pads only.

Q: 3. Does the mic input provide phantom power? if so, what?

A: The Native Instruments TRAKTOR KONTROL S2 MK3 does not provide phantom power with the mic input.

Q: 4. Since this has a built-in preamp, would you connect it to line input? Also, wouldn't it need phantom power since it's a condenser mic?

A: The integrated pre-amp feature is referring to the fact that the XLR connection is built into the microphone. This has a mic level output that does require 48v phantom power.

Q: 7. Can the Quantum QF-82 be used on-camera using the Trio/Trio Basic?

A: I would not recommend using the Quantum Instruments Beauty Dish on the Quantum TRIO flash mounted onto your camera. Depending on your camera and lens combination, the Quantum Instruments Beauty Dish may be too large and bump against the lens. It would definitely block the Autofocus Assist Light and the Auto Sensor on the front of the unit, and is not recommended if you are using either of these for your images. You may try it on your equipment to see if it works with your gear combination, but you may get better usage from usage on a light stand.
