If you’ve ever wondered how to install the Jobeky Fast Fit 3x Multi Trigger and what kind of volume you can expect from Jobeky mesh drumheads on an acoustic kit, this walkthrough is for you. I recently fitted one to my 12-inch Yamaha Stage Custom tom and tested the results – and I was pleasantly surprised at how straightforward the process was.

Preparing the Drum for Installation
To start, I removed the tom’s head and the brass air-hole fitting. That came off easily by simply loosening the small screw nut inside the drum.
Next, I threaded the trigger cable through the vent hole – it’s a standard ¼-inch jack connection with a 1/8th inch jack on the other end – and pulled it up from the inside of the drum shell.
The 1/8th inch jack fits to the trigger itself.
Once the cable was in place, I added the washer and nut to the internal side of the jack fitting. The nut is quite thin, so it can be a little fiddly to get started, but once it’s threaded, you just tighten it finger-tight. That way, I make sure I don’t keep triggering the main drum sound if I want to play the rim for example. And that’s all it needs to hold securely.
Positioning the Trigger
The cable length supplied by Jobeky is generous – in fact, longer than necessary. You only need enough to connect comfortably without touching the sides or bottom head. You can use a strip of gaffer tape to hold it onto the inside shell of the drum.
After that, I plugged the cable into the socket on the Fast Fit 3x trigger and positioned it inside the drum. Personally, I like to play between the two lower trigger points, so I place the top trigger facing upward. That setup feels most natural for my playing style.
It’s a simple installation – no complex adjustments, no soldering, and no stress. Once everything’s connected, you’re ready to reinstall the drumhead.
Understanding the Jobeky 3-Ply Mesh Head
For this setup, I used a Jobeky Prestige three-ply mesh head. The top two plies tighten as you tension the head normally, while the third (bottom) ply stays slightly loose. That looser layer acts as a built-in dampener, reducing unwanted overtones and giving the head a more natural, acoustic-like feel.
When you tighten the head, you might hear a slight rattle – that’s normal and simply the mesh settling. Once the head is seated, the tension feels good and responsive. Although there’s still a slight nose created with the bottom layer of mesh being slightly looser than the top two layers.
Testing the Volume
With the trigger installed and the head fitted, I moved over to my kit to test the volume levels.
You can hear a bit of ring on the toms, especially without rim covers – mine hadn’t arrived yet. One of the toms also had a light rattle, caused by the internal cable not being taped down yet. (A bit of gaffer tape fixes that easily.)
Even without additional dampening, the bass drum was noticeably quieter than a full acoustic kick, though still lively. There are plenty of ways to make it even quieter – adding foam or cloth inside, dampening the front head, or applying padding around the shell. Because it’s a triggered setup, you can experiment with almost any kind of internal dampening material.
Overall Sound and Feel
Once I fired up Cubase and the Roland TD-27 module, everything triggered beautifully.
The Jobeky system responded accurately, and the mesh heads gave a satisfying playing feel – not too bouncy, not too stiff. The sound through the module was clean and dynamic, while the natural acoustic volume stayed low enough for home use or late-night sessions.
Final Thoughts
The Jobeky Fast Fit 3x Multi Trigger is an easy and reliable way to convert an acoustic tom into an electronic or hybrid drum. Installation takes just a few minutes, and the Jobeky three-ply mesh heads balance realism with volume control perfectly.
If you’re running a Yamaha Stage Custom or similar shell pack, this setup works seamlessly.
Whether you’re after quiet practice sessions, hybrid performance versatility, or just curious about Jobeky’s volume levels – this trigger and head combo is an excellent solution.
