Our take on the Roland TM-1 Dual Input Trigger Module

The Roland TM-1 is a compact two-input trigger module that turns acoustic drums or practice pads into electronic sounds. It plays built-in drum and percussion sounds and also WAV, MP3 and AIFF samples from a microSD card, so you can layer a click, a clap or a custom sample onto a real kit. It runs on a wall adapter or batteries and sends MIDI and audio out to a module, interface or PA. It suits hybrid drummers and small setups that need a couple of extra sounds without a full electronic kit.

Questions and answers

Can the TM-1 play my own samples?
Yes. It plays WAV, MP3 and AIFF files from a microSD card, alongside its built-in sounds.
How many pads or triggers can I connect?
Two. Each input takes a trigger or pad and can be assigned its own sound.
Does it work without a drum module?
Yes. It has its own sounds and audio output, so it can feed a PA or interface directly. MIDI out lets it trigger other gear too.
Can I use it with an acoustic kit?
Yes. Clip-on or drum-mounted triggers feed the inputs, letting you layer electronic sounds on real drums.
Does it run on batteries?
Yes. It runs on batteries or a wall adapter, which helps when power outlets are far from the kit.
Is it a full drum machine?
No. It is a trigger module for two inputs, not a sequencer with patterns or a full pad kit.
