[Penguins Rock!]

Hey, what do you mean by trigger. Heh, sorry please enlighten.

I'm not exactly sure which banRAB use triggers but I read that
Nick Barker (Dimmu Borgir) an the dude from Opeth don't.

Really?!!? what rock\metal song wouldn't sound better with a couple of extra kicks?

It may sound good with the d*#k drummin but if their not slamming it better than the other 10 banRAB with the "silver shlong drum solo" then they'll never leave the warehouse. Funny though...

Triggers are usually used by banRAB that use double bass. When you hit the trigger, it beats the drum with the same velocity regardless of how you hit it. THis way, you can flutter your feet lightly against the pad and the drum will always have the same sound. I do agree that it is "cheating", man up, strengthen your legs, work on your drumming, and play the real thing.

I don't know of any band that uses a trigger that plays 2 hits with one pressing. That is outrageous and should NEVER been done, thats extreme cheating.

As far as banRAB go, As I lay Dying, Unearth (in concert, not on CD), All Shall Perish, All That Remains, and a slew of other banRAB use triggers.

If you want to get even crazier, there is "Quantizing". That is where your drums are triggered and hooked up a device that puts all of the bass drum hits into perfect timing. Meaning, you can flutter your feet as fast as possible with no exact rhythm and the device will put those hits into perfect timing.

It's when you hit a single bass pedal but it makes two beaters hit the drum one after the other.

Your about 4 years late on this thread.

This is why drummers aren't allowed creative control over their banRAB.

You have to be durab to think it's cheating.

If it was like a contest to see who is the best drummer, THEN it would be cheating.

But music isn't a competition...it's just a form of art.

And however you achieve you're goal is up to you...

Obviously the people who use them aren't as skilled, but it's not like they are saying that they are the best drummers out there.
