Finger playable percussion trigger instrument

A musical instrument for triggering a percussion synthesizer, comprising:

• a hand held housing having at least first and second front surfaces in which said first and second front surfaces are connected by a neck which has a twist of about 90 degrees, resulting in the orientation of said first surface relative to said second surface to be about 90 degrees;
• a plurality of trigger transducers disposed on said first and second front surfaces, each of said trigger transducers producing an electrical impulse in response to striking by fingers of a player against said trigger transducers;
• a grouping of said trigger transducers on each of said surfaces which each of said groupings produces sounds including at least a bass drum sound, a snare drum sound, a high tom-tom sound, a medium tom-tom sound, a low tom-tom sound, a hi-hat cymbal sound, a ride cymbal sound, a ride cymbal bell sound, a crash cymbal sound, and a plurality of miscellaneous percussion sounds;
• and
• a routing means for said plurality of trigger transducers to connect to said percussion synthesizer through a connection means with which to change the assignment of said sounds within each of said grouping of said trigger transducers.
