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.

I thought the sound for you guys during that vital remains show was pretty bad, but once CD, BDM, and VR took the stage I thought the sound was the best I've heard in a club in a long time IMO. It pisses me off when people give drummers shit for using triggers, especially if they are clearly good drummers. It's a fact that due to human limitations that the faster you hit a drum, the less force you can put into hitting it therefor resulting in loss of volume. Some drummers play very lightly and some hit way too hard. It pisses me off when a drummer is playing something super fast and you can't hear it because obviously he can't hit the drums as hard. Then it sounds like mush. Good soundguys and soundsystems obviously can solve this issue most of the time, but for most small club instances I think using triggers is the smart thing to do.
