message: I cleaned and condensed a lot, changed Disadvantages section to Criticisms and tried to make it more neutral, and merged Advantages section since this isn't supposed to be a review but a fact sheet, though cites to some published reviews are really needed for the opinions to remain.  -Bikinibomb 19:24, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I think we need something here, to distinguish:
* Trigger sensors or transducers to attach to drums, see

thread_title: Reinstate the article

message: If the musicians of a band have an electronic metronome, which can only be heard by all the musicians, what does one of them (Mike Portnoy) do with the trigger pad (or drum pad, as it is called in the paragraph)?
With what does Mike Portnoy hit his "drum pad": with his stick or foot?
The answer to this question decides whether this information about (t)his "cow bell" should remain here or would have to be moved to the article Stomp box.
Does the metronome automatically listen to the musiacian's taps and then automatically takes over / continues his speed?
Unfortunately this information was added under an IP adddress (on 25 August 2008‎), so I can't address the contributor.
Can anyone answer these questions anyway?

thread_title:  "secret cowbell"? 

message: @Weeb Dingle
According to the definition in the 1st sentence:
A trigger pad is an electronic sensor on a drum
the image of the "Ellis stomp box" is out of place, because it lies on the floor and is tapped by foot.
The text under this image says:
The Ellis stomp box ... can be used as a trigger.
As I understand it: This means: the "Ellis stomp box" could be used beside a drum, but I doubt that a musician would place it on one of his drums to hit this stump box with his stick.
But no matter where such an "Ellis stomp box" would be placed, this image seems not the first choice for this article.
A better image seems to be:  which I saw in the article Drum kit.

thread_title:  "Wrong" and (probaly) right image 

message: This article definitely should, at least, have a link to Stomp Box in its body, not only in the text under an image.

thread_title:  Link to "Stomp Box" 

message: The sentence, as is, says:
Triggers can send a MIDI to a lighting control console to signal a change in stage displays.
MIDI means Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
Such a trigger pad can and does not send an interface.
Such a trigger pad sends a signal.
