which triggers do you use?

the DDrum ones that cost about 120 bucks for the set... dont buy redshots.

alot of people think triggers will make a drummer play cleaner... not true... you still have to be a good drummer with good technique.. triggers wont cover your mistakes that much, they can in some ways like if a drumer tends to hit softer with his left foot when he rolls on double bass, the triggers will help even the volume. but as far as timing, if he's fluttering up on his shit then the triggers wont hide it, in fact they will probably make it more notice able.

so don't think getting triggers will make you a better drummer...

at our shows our drummer mikes his kick and has 2 overhead mikes.i like the sound of plain ol' miked acoustic drumms over trigger.or even better regular acoustics.i know alot of people that trigger thier bass.but, as me and alot of my friends see it,its down right cheatin'

Cheating? No...

Not cheating. If you can plug a guitar into an amp, why couldn't you do so with a drum?

I can play very fast double bass but I hit my pedals/bassdrum very light when doing so. So I can't use this without triggers (I don't have those) because you can't hear fuck of it.

With my experience of triggers, i certainly don't regard it as cheating, it's no different to a guitarist using FX pedals and amp. I think they are better suited to studio means. Some samples are great and you can customise your sound a treat... There are many different modules and samples on the market so the world is your oyster

if you hit both bass drumms equally wheather hard or soft thats fine, but if you hit one hard and one soft you need to practice to get them equall.i only meant its cheating to use the triggers to even up the volume of your kick.

Triggers are ostensively the same as a mic just they pickup alot more than a mic can.
