i know...i've actually played and recorded with triggers and to be honest, they force you to clean up your kicks cuz every minute touch sends a full signal...it's pretty rough (if you're sloppy on the drums like me).

i was gonna say, if anything you have to be tight as hell with triggers cause they clean your sound up so much. my band recorded and then triggered afterwards, and its like a night and day difference how much punchier and better it sounds triggered. what people dont get is you can move a regular recorded drum sound around the same way you can a trigger with pro tools

It makes you wonder why guys play acoustic drums anymore at all...

I personally hate triggers but understand their use in faster metal, even if it robs metal recordings of any individuality or personality. Most metal recordings are interchangeable these days and you'ld be hard pressed to tell what band it is before the singer, oops...I meant boyish screamer starts. But I'm only playing rock anyway. I'm surprised drummers who ache (and spend big) over wood choices and hardware etc; then make it all mute by triggering anyway. Might as well use a Tama rockstar or Pearl export double bass set and call it a day.

You just defeated your own point. It comes out punchier and better than when you actually play on real drums?

i just moved and im not sure where anything is but ill try to find my bands unmixed stuff before the triggers were added then the final product and youll hear the difference. triggerless the bass drums kinda bleed into each other and get flubby. when you put the triggers on though you can hear every hit clearly and there is no flub.

That's probably because the triggered hits are really clicky and barely have any bass. Fast, bassy triggered hits sound like a helicopter is flying out of your speakers. It's about the total opposite of what a real bass drum would be like, as far as tightness.

You could do the same thing to a real recording with very simple EQ and a limiter. That's how most metal stuff is done, anyways, and I'd imagine why people use triggers, since it's so undynamic and fake, there's just not any difference worth giving a flying carp on a stick about.

you could definately eq it to be close. the thing is though sound aside people think triggers alter what you are actually playing and thats just not true. wether you like the way they sound or not i guess is ones opinion. i think our bass drums sound great https://www.myspace.com/creationct
