A compact option is Roland’s KT-9 Kick trigger pedal (https://www.roland.com/uk/products/kt-9/) which should function OK with a Nitro module.
I have a similar setup using a modified FD-8 kick pedal trigger with an enclosed piezo transducer mounted under the foot plate.
FYI, they are usually sold as piezo buzzers: http://www.eng.utah.edu/~cs5789/handouts/piezo.pdf
The pedal to trigger impact noise is minimal and I've added some foam under the pedals so the neighbors aren't aware when I'm using them.
