I always remember hearing peeps at the palladium explaining to their friends that triggers make 4 hits everytime the drummer actually hits. I try and explain to them that it just makes the drum sound the same everytime it's hit, but they never believe me.

it's very simple HOW THE FUCK CAN A DRUMMER PULL THAT OFF!!!??? if you have the patience and the skill to be able to play twice as slow as you're supposed to be, IN PERFECT TIME, and you're coming out twice as fast through the PA, thanks to triggers, then you have the fuckin patience and skill to learn how to play fast double bass.

think about this for a second. let's say Pete Sandoval uses triggers to make his kick drums go twice as fast as he's really playing. he has his drum machine set up to do that........ what about the slower parts when he only needs ONE hit at a time. what does he hire a sound guy to switch drum samples every time he's gotta do that? give me a fuckin break.

My drummer George uses triggers for one reason and one reason alone, so that his bass drums can be heard both at practice and live. we've played bars before, set up on the fucking floor with the crowd. if george didn't trigger his bass drums, he might as well have not even brought them, cause you'd have never heard them.

TRIGGERS MAKE THE DRUMS AUDIBLE AND CLEAR!!!!! that is all. here's how a drum trigger works kiddies. gather 'round. you take the trigger, a small piece of metal, and clamp it onto the bass drum. when you do, there is a sensor that touches the drum head. when you play your kick drums, that sensor detects every time you hit the drum. that sensor sends a signal to a drum brain, which is used to program how the trigger will sound through the PA. the signal is then sent to the PA. the result is a clear, precise, kick drum. yea it can help cover up when a drummer is starting to play lighter cause he's getting tired from playing, but so what? is that really worth bitching about?

Drum Triggers 101, class is dismissed.
