What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!

Amazing Trigger I see why the greats use it, my ead10
Trigger didn't work to well or evenly so this is 100% worth the cost.

Mounted a Roland 18" Mesh head on my left 18" Tom and found that the RT-30HR trigger could no longer fit the rim because the head fits as a Kick Drum Head flush with the rim edge and not as a Tom Head underneath the rim groove. The Roland Mesh Kick head raises the rim significantly higher above the head and required getting longer tension rods too. Unfortunately, the RT-30HR is cut too shallow for the cone to reach the head with the resulting rim elevation. The RT-30K resolved the issue but a shim did have to be rigged to make it seat properly on the triple-flanged rim. Sounds fantastic and playing a kick on my left side with sticks and one with the pedals is inspiring.

It's pricey but, it's a very reliable trigger.
I've used it for years.
I use this with the Alesis SamplePad Pro.

This trigger is definitely the best I have ever used! I am using for my acoustic bass drum I converted to electric, this pickup has all the features you want for it if a trigger!

I purchased a combination of Roland triggers to use with Remo Silent Stroke heads as a practice setup. The triggers work very well with the Silent Stroke heads as well as standard acoustic heads. As with all of my Roland gear, these triggers are high quality and function exactly as advertised. The only thing I cannot speak to is durability, since I've only had them for a short time. If they are like all my other Roland equipment, I expect they'll last for a while. I am pleased with the triggers and would recommend them to others.

Simply put, modern electronic music wouldn't exist without Roland. Many of the electronic musicians here at Sweetwater cut our teeth on TR Rhythm machines and fondly remember programming our first TB-303s. We owe a good part of our careers to this amazing and innovative company. It's been fun to watch and grow right alongside Roland, as they've introduced wave after wave of revolutionary keyboards, digital pianos, and more. For example, Roland's V-Drum Kits continuously redefine the possibilities of electronic drums, beginning with SuperNATURAL technology to the latest Prismatic Sound Modeling. We're huge fans, and we'd love to tell you all about them. Whether you want a pocket-sized synth or a cutting-edge video mixer, if Roland makes it, then Sweetwater is 100% behind it.
