What did you just say? Hello! Welcome to my blog. My name is Steven Slate, and I will be your guide on this tour of the recently released drum trigger designed by me, the Steven Slate Drum Trigger Ex. I've been making drum triggers for nearly ten years now, but for this design I went bigger than ever before—a whopping six inches long from shoulder to neck! That shouldn't have been a problem until it came time to release it as a commercial product. In order to sell the trigger as a real product, I had to contact manufacturers and create an assembly line that would let me produce them without paying too much money for each individual product. However, the more people I reached out to, the more questions I received. What kind of questions? Did you say money? Though it was entirely my idea to start this project, I had no choice but to follow trends in the drum trigger world—namely, spending money on outsourcing. When you have a design as critical as a drum trigger, it's important to have all aspects of production handled by professionals with experience—and that's where things have gone wrong. As many people are already aware, there are two large companies that dominate the market. They are both excellent at what they do—they're just not entirely reliable. Why would you say that? Because of the way they work. When taking part in this project, I was given a spreadsheet that provided an estimate of the cost per unit based on manufactured values—meaning, how many units are made for one-hundred dollars. The problem is, it's very hard for me to know if one product will sell better than another. When it comes to customers, customers are fickle—they can't help themselves from upgrading their equipment over time no matter what they have. Even though the cost per unit is only estimated, there's nothing to stop them from raising their prices after production has started—and making life rough for people who purchased early on. But still, there's no way they could raise their prices even further after selling the products to you. They could, and they did! With this project, I paid a fifty percent premium over the estimate to pre-order the triggers and be the first run. That was nearly ten dollars per unit; clearly not enough to make a profit on. What was worse was that they only asked for half of that money up front; nearly five dollars per unit! I can't help but think that there's something fishy going on with those two companies. There aren't any resources out there about it? Actually, there is one—a blog entirely devoted to drum triggers. But unlike the more popular ones, it focuses on proving that drum triggers are bad for drumming. They have their arguments, but they are all based on the presupposition that drum triggers are bad for drumming. I'm not denying that they can be abused or that there's a right way to use them; I'm just saying that their conclusions aren't supported by facts. So what did you do? I looked for another manufacturer; one who wouldn't charge me extra after the initial estimate was complete, and who would build my triggers with care. That's when I found Electro-Harmonix. They offered me a fantastic deal—a sixty percent cost increase over my estimates—and built the triggers with care. cfa1e77820
