Electronics

Dom uses Roland Electronic Drum Components.

On Dom’s snare drum, he has the RT-10S Snare drum trigger.

And on his medium floor tom, he has the RT-10T Tom tom trigger.

These are what make the ’shaker’ sound in Supermassive Black Hole and a ‘clapping’ sound in Starlight.

The snare trigger is also used to layer the live sound of the snare drum, by adding a ‘midi snare’ signal over the top of the original sound.

The triggers are linked to a Roland TD20X drum brain. (In the BH&R tour, it was an SPD-S sampler.)

Dom starts the various backing tracks by using a foot pedal next to his hi-hat stand. This presumably is an elaborate “play” button for backing tracks.
