triggers are lame

there's nothing wrong with using triggers. If you're a good drummer, you're a good drummer. Triggers IMO are smart to use for smaller bands like us that don't usually get to do soundchecks. You can plug your shit in and have almost total control over the sound of your drumkit rather than relying on a gay soundguy or poor mic signals through the PA.

i see your point, and i kind of agree but not really. if you're playing in a crappy club with crappy sound, than it actually sounds out if place for the drums to sound mint. this happened at the Vital Remains show. the acoustics in that place were horrible. everything was total mush, but BDM, cattle decap and vital used a triggered bass drum. i thought it sounded totally fake and out of place. a good drummer with a good kit can hit hard enough to be heard without being mic'ed. and yes, a good drummer is a good drummer, but it's too easy to cheat with triggers. you can mask uneven hits, and if you're a quiet player you can turn up the sensitivity. i know not everyone does this, but i personally think they just sound fake, even if the sensitivity and everything is set properly. i like to hear the light and way hard and off-center hits. maybe that's just me though.
