Triggers are simply pads that clamp onto drums and have a pad that rest on the head of the drum. Every time the drum head feels a vibration, the trigger creates the sound. On the trigger modules, you can set the sensitivity to be kinda touchy to get more dynamics, or what some metal guys do is set the sensitivity (velocity on some modules) all the way up, so no matter how hard they hit the drum, they get the full volume every time. It allows for quicker, softer playing while maintaining a consistent mix out every hit.
