@DCkevantnet make him play at 250 bpm on the double bass drums and ask him how clear it sounds. after it sounds like crap.. tell him triggers make each hit sound more defined and it would be easier for you to play along to
@DCkevantnet All drummers that play rock and metal should be triggering the kick if they can afford it. The drums sound wimpy without that tight kick.
My band is recording at a studio that uses triggers on the drums (I don't like to use triggers in any other situation, but im not exactly good enough to say i don't need them for the fast kicks to be heard) and, like most double pedalists on youtube including this guy, i have a habit of burying the beater into the kick head when doing double kicks or single kicks with the main pedal. my drum teacher said doing this with triggers will cause double triggering my mistake..will it?
They only help make things sound clearer. In a venue with horrible accoustics triggers make a huge difference and add clarity. If you suck and can't play on time with triggers everyone will know so if anything they force you to be better.
@thedrumsking235997 triggers are little cheating units which help in getting your bass heard when you try and play faster but use more energy in doing that then in the power of the stroke. in other words... when you try and play faster more energy is used in that then in the power of the stroke and triggers help with the "power" and get the stroke heard!
@Superchocolatedonut do you know what a trigger is? It doesn't have anything to do with the pedals. I have triggers myself and they don't even make contact with the pedal. Some triggers do have contact with the pedals but they don't affect the speed. Seriously. Read about it or even better... TRY ONE! Then you'll see that it does not affect the speed.
If you don't believe me, watch this! He describes exactly what triggers are.
AXIS Pedals are one of most fastest pedals you can use.
And triggers don't make you cool, cuz, lets ask someone who listens dude who plays with triggers, and then without triggers, will he say that triggers now made him cooler? No, triggers help you to clear your sound when you playing at fast speed, around 200 bpm. And still, when im using Pearl Deamon drive im now cool? No i dont think so, it just helps you to play more faster and many more thinkgs...
Im only saying that this dude dont need axis and triggers. I mean, I can play double bass in 250 BPM with my pearl eliminators, and I can hear all the strokes.
Also, I checked out your channel, and... I didnt see any double pedal playing there, so I assume that you have no idea what you are talking about
Triggers dont make you go faster, but with them you dont hafta worry about your volume, allowing you to take smaller strokes, playing your strokes faster, but having the illusion your actually playing faster, since it is just louder
@BouvrieMax the greatest of all time are dead according to some. According to others only the greats survive. Its all subjective, however one thing is certain the dawn of triggers has come. Especially in metal playing.
triggers or not , you hit way too soft , try hitting harder, i can go really fast with shitty pedals and hit hard at the same time , dont need triggers :D
how do u like the axis's does ur head has to be really tight to play them fast and what spring tension are u running? do u have to adjust alot of settings and do they break?
hes using triggers. so he doesnt want to hear the acoustic sound. he wants to be able to play faster and one of the ways to do that is to tighten the bass batter head
If your doing fast ass bass blasts with your feet they help the sound because your not going to be hitting the the bass head at the same strength and power with every hit, so you just made yourself sound like an un-educated little girl. Pretty much all of the faster drummers in the entire world use drum triggers....
@Tiritor You can say whatever you feel about my drumming, i dont really give a fuck, because ive only been playing for 5 months, and im actually writing music, im Better than you will ever be because i dont try to discourage people when they are doing something they love. So when you do what im doing talk to me, because we play shows all the time, we have material and an ep. And it seems like you just have the internet to sit on your ass and talk shit. What a life :]
Good drumming. I tell everyone that thinks triggers is cheating that its not because I learned how to play chosen legacy and songs of that speed before i could aford triggers so i had to learn to play with power not tap. playing lighter and going fast is actually harder
I could tell you were just foolin around on the kit...essentially your thrash chops are well intact, kudos to you. Lets keep Thrash Drumming going for all eternity! THRASH DRUMMERS UNITE!
I still heavily believe in while you play the blasts that you are getting a full return on the beater and heavy hits not little taps... that takes, some, not all... of the difficulty out... still have to play that fast but... still drumming is about preference... and this is mine...
all triggers do is read the movement of the head of the drum and sends to a midi controller which produces a sound, could be a cow mooing... doesn't matter. But when you play really really fast double bass blasts the attack gets lost. Trigger allows the same volume sound to leave every-time so it makes it clearer. It doesn't produce multiple hits.... you could if you want too but thats not what this is....
Thats their purpose... but alot of the time, the drummer plays really fast, but in reality, is hardly even tapping the bass drum, which also lets you play faster, longer
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what is the point of triggers... i mean ya u get to play fast but personally i would rather work to get to that point and have the satisfaction of ACTUALLY being able to play that fast instead of having a machine to do it for you
they dont help you play faster really, all they do is help some drums be heard better. some people use them on their bass drums because they are so muted and can't be heard otherwise.
@Dr8co1 It sounds bad if you're using a bad module. Some genres, such as industrial and cetain types of metal. For playing live shows it works better too.
@skermisher95 Genius. I guess when you say every professional, you mean everyone that you listen to. With triggers, a lot of guys use them so they don't have to hit the drum hard or evenly to get a decent sound. Learn your facts, you profane hothead.
@Paitsch Dude, go to a metal show with technichal double bass paterns with drummers that aren't using triggers and you won't be able to the drumline. Triggers give it a punch and make it sound almost robotic, which is sometimes what you need in that genre. A good drummer that is familiar with triggers will always be able to tell if a person is "cheating" or not.
@JakeTheDrummer18 You can use them that way, but if you don't want a drum sound you would most likely go straight to an electric drumset. Using triggers is all about the mix of acoustics and synthetics.
@im1just1here1 well if you think about it they could make it seem faster cause you are really making it easier to do really light fast taps which will still register as a full bass drum hit..which without the triggers would sound like shit? so it kind of can. you are still going the same speed but those light hits would actually sound like something
@im1just1here1 So a device used to basically make a sampled sound emit from an acoustic kit doesn't have the abilty to make you go faster? Hmm. the sample will play the exact same note regardless of pressure and tension everytime if you set it that way. So, a baby could touch and an adult could kick the fuck out of it and it would produce the same note, therfore with the right pedal settings, greater speeds could be attained, less effort, same sound.
@llxBRADxll Was going to explain this, glad you did first. Seriously people, look at Derek Roddy's videos, all of his lessons are about building endurance. Triggers make it so you don't need as much endurance, not bashing them, just saying.
@Reilloc13 Yeah, the way I see it... speed gets you anttention, but it ain't shit if you can't play on time or pull out a groove. I've only been playing three years, and got my first shitty double pedal a year ago, I kick hard, I don't try to show off insane speed, a trained monkey can do that. Yeah, I was looking for someone on here to explain it, and I didn't see anything haha
@im1just1here1 Yeah man, that's the truth alright. But some people turn 'em up so they're way more sensitive, which means they can play way lighter and still be heard, thus becoming "faster" in a sense. When they're up too much though the bass drum sounds like shit.
not bad i like his tecnique. appears to be heel up with one foot and heel down with the other. i cant do heel down to save my life...its like re learning al over again. although i should practice it for the strengh.
It works like an electric drum set. They catch the vibration produced when you hit your snare, tom, bass drum (whatever you have triggered) and send it to an electronic module. The sound comes cleaner and louder (not just louder but in an equal sound), which means it often sounds better (not always).
It just modifies the sound, it certainly does not help you to get any faster or whatever.
@UKrocketeer i beleive that's coz he uses Shure SM91's in his kicks, those mikes are made for giving a punch without having to trigger so you can still play dynamically :)
@matthew3279. Some of the more extreme metal bands (Ones doing songs at well over 200 bpm) use triggers because they can be programmed to make every hit of the drum in question equal in sound. So basically you can hit the bass drum as light as you want and it'll sound like its full pelt. This can add a good 20-30 bpm to your playing. I do recognise triggers can also be used for stylistic reasons or if you have a pants kit, but a lot of bands use them for solely this reason.
The massive give away that is slapping them in the face is the name and even then instead of looking stupid on youtube asking for, god sake google it at least
a trigger is a thing which converts a a drum beat either into a midi signal or an arcoustic click which can be replaced via vst in recording software. triggers a usually used if the drummer can't play the kicks with the same volume.
dude, i know for a fact that lars used triggers on AJFA album...there is absolutely no way that you can have your bass drum sound like he had his wihout triggers
He didn't actually use triggers, it's just a really clicky sound achieved by head tuning micing and EQ'ing. If you listen to the insane double kick passage in dyers eve it gets quieter, so it couldn't be triggers. Plus watch some jason bittner vids, he gets a really clicky sound without triggers (:
it gets quieter bcause he recorded the sound with the cam and amped the module so you can still hear the actual bassdrum. But yeah hes using trigs .. lol read the inscription.
lars ulrich never triggered his drums and will never do it!!! he loves the original sound of a drum kit and not an electronic one!!! he said it for a thousand times !!!
IDIOT !!! LARS DOESNT TRIGGER HIS DRUMS YOU FAG .... you dont know anything about him .... look at all making of from metallica... i have several videos and dvds that shows how a tech is trying to find the perfect sound for lars ... his whole kit is recorded with mics ... there are so many vids that shows that -.-
Most of his kit is triggered, but not to sample sounds. When playing live, these triggers go to a "noise gate" which prevents the microphones from picking up the "ambient" noise the concert (guitar, vocals, bass, CROWD) and only allows the sound of the hits to be heard. In concert, the kicks are very pronounced because of these.
im so confused as to what a trigger is actually, ive heard all this stuff about pros using triggers, and saying things like using triggers is cheating, can someone please explain this to me?
well if someone told you that its chaeting they dont know what their talking about. triggers bassically just make it a shitload louder thats all you nee d to know thats all they do.
a trigger is like having the combo of a Acoustic bass and electric bass it makes it so when u HIT your bass it is conectted to a eltric drum machine so i Puts the "electric" thou the mic but u have the Acoustic sound there
pleaseeee tell me how you practiced to get there with the double bass. ive had my pedal for about 2 months and am not exactly sure on what i should be doing. any help would be GREATLY fuxin appreciated
practice things that have to do with double bass to a click...things like singles, (doubles if you really want to), 4 stroke ruffs, groupings of 2 32nd notes and 2 16th notes (if you've ever heard the song Bleed by Meshuggah, you know what I'm talking about). IF you have axis, you should get to a comfortable speed in no time. They are the fastest pedals ever.
I'm not a drum pro but I do know that they are used sometimes just to amplify but also to change the sound a bit, some people really like the sound while others don't. I personally dont' care for the sound much but whatever, look back down on these comments and this guy had a better response but basically what I said should be right.
I'm not exactly sure, since I started drums a few days ago but I think they are sensors you put on the rim of your drums and it detects when the head is struck and it's suppose to make your playing sound cleaner.
it doesn't make it sound "cleaner", it simply triggers a sample when the head is struck. If anything, using triggers will make sloppy playing more obvious.
If anything, triggers allow for more of a chance to be inaccurate and to fuck up on double bass rhythms. When you have triggers, everyone hears the mistakes, and everyone will judge because of that. Without triggers, its just a dampened sound, and nobody can pick out small flaws. Especially when playing faster paced music. So.... Triggers are actually better for precision and the like.
triggers are electronic sensors used to detect a stroke on a drum, in this case the bass drum, and play a prerecorded sample. triggers are used on the bass drum to produce clearer notes at high speeds because a natural bass sound will "blur" together making it hard to hear the individual notes.
No is you listen to his interview dip-shit!, he said he has foot problems and and he kept breaking normal pedals cos he was getting to fast, plus he cat do his heel tricks without em!, thats differnt to what i said he is no poser, the kidsthat use em are cos ey just wanna look good, Adler uses em for a reason!. so fuck you!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Listen pal i dont care how fast and cool?! you think u are experience overrules ive learnt on the Eliminators and Iron cobras, i dont need no poser Axis pedals!, just cs uv'e got no technique!, you must be a Ricky bobby, "i wanna go fast!", cos u cant do anything else,
u fukin bonehead,so ur saying chris adler is a poser,,why don t u take a long walk off a short pier,do everyone a favor and just die,,ooohohohhohhooo,,look at me,,i play iron cobra's ,,i'm way to cool,,fuck off idiot
Good. Anyway I still think (comparing to older videos) that your feet are too high on the pedal.
By playing with your toes at the bottom of the pedal you will need less force to hit the drum. Added to that, if the beater are not so near, you will get much more power! But using triggers makes no velocity differences, only rhythmically.
I think that the best angle (when no foot on the pedal of course) is 45° between the drum head and the beater.
I love triggered bass drum. Regular bass drum sounds like crap for metal. It needs that punch and clarity of a trigger mixed in to sound the best.

@indafindatwo yea cause the sound is more defined i agree
im1just1here1 1 year ago
@im1just1here1 well if you think about it they could make it seem faster cause you are really making it easier to do really light fast taps which will still register as a full bass drum hit..which without the triggers would sound like shit? so it kind of can. you are still going the same speed but those light hits would actually sound like something
123435454646453434 1 year ago
@im1just1here1 So a device used to basically make a sampled sound emit from an acoustic kit doesn't have the abilty to make you go faster? Hmm. the sample will play the exact same note regardless of pressure and tension everytime if you set it that way. So, a baby could touch and an adult could kick the fuck out of it and it would produce the same note, therfore with the right pedal settings, greater speeds could be attained, less effort, same sound.
I'm not trying to be a dick, just my logic.

@llxBRADxll Was going to explain this, glad you did first. Seriously people, look at Derek Roddy's videos, all of his lessons are about building endurance. Triggers make it so you don't need as much endurance, not bashing them, just saying.
Reilloc13 1 year ago
@Reilloc13 Yeah, the way I see it... speed gets you anttention, but it ain't shit if you can't play on time or pull out a groove. I've only been playing three years, and got my first shitty double pedal a year ago, I kick hard, I don't try to show off insane speed, a trained monkey can do that. Yeah, I was looking for someone on here to explain it, and I didn't see anything haha
llxBRADxll 1 year ago
@im1just1here1 Yeah man, that's the truth alright. But some people turn 'em up so they're way more sensitive, which means they can play way lighter and still be heard, thus becoming "faster" in a sense. When they're up too much though the bass drum sounds like shit.

how does a trigger work?
rt36crazyfists 2 years ago
It works like an electric drum set. They catch the vibration produced when you hit your snare, tom, bass drum (whatever you have triggered) and send it to an electronic module. The sound comes cleaner and louder (not just louder but in an equal sound), which means it often sounds better (not always).
It just modifies the sound, it certainly does not help you to get any faster or whatever.

@IIThesaviour triggers dont make you go fast dumbass...they give the drum a different sound
matthew3279 2 years ago 4
@matthew3279. Some of the more extreme metal bands (Ones doing songs at well over 200 bpm) use triggers because they can be programmed to make every hit of the drum in question equal in sound. So basically you can hit the bass drum as light as you want and it'll sound like its full pelt. This can add a good 20-30 bpm to your playing. I do recognise triggers can also be used for stylistic reasons or if you have a pants kit, but a lot of bands use them for solely this reason.

what exactly what is a trigger
XxDanit55 2 years ago
a trigger is a thing which converts a a drum beat either into a midi signal or an arcoustic click which can be replaced via vst in recording software. triggers a usually used if the drummer can't play the kicks with the same volume.

glenn1365 2 years ago
He didn't actually use triggers, it's just a really clicky sound achieved by head tuning micing and EQ'ing. If you listen to the insane double kick passage in dyers eve it gets quieter, so it couldn't be triggers. Plus watch some jason bittner vids, he gets a really clicky sound without triggers (:
Undertryyke 2 years ago
it gets quieter bcause he recorded the sound with the cam and amped the module so you can still hear the actual bassdrum. But yeah hes using trigs .. lol read the inscription.

no lars doesn't trigger his kit. he just has alot and i mean ALOT of power. that's why the sound is so good.
paice95 2 years ago
Most of his kit is triggered, but not to sample sounds. When playing live, these triggers go to a "noise gate" which prevents the microphones from picking up the "ambient" noise the concert (guitar, vocals, bass, CROWD) and only allows the sound of the hits to be heard. In concert, the kicks are very pronounced because of these.

a trigger is like having the combo of a Acoustic bass and electric bass it makes it so when u HIT your bass it is conectted to a eltric drum machine so i Puts the "electric" thou the mic but u have the Acoustic sound there
darkoverload18 2 years ago
triggers aren't cheating. they pretty much give you a more defined sound...usually drummers use them on the kick drums.

oh man, dude you are amazing!
pleaseeee tell me how you practiced to get there with the double bass. ive had my pedal for about 2 months and am not exactly sure on what i should be doing. any help would be GREATLY fuxin appreciated
daiske818 2 years ago
practice things that have to do with double bass to a click...things like singles, (doubles if you really want to), 4 stroke ruffs, groupings of 2 32nd notes and 2 16th notes (if you've ever heard the song Bleed by Meshuggah, you know what I'm talking about). IF you have axis, you should get to a comfortable speed in no time. They are the fastest pedals ever.

SchecterMat 2 years ago
I'm not a drum pro but I do know that they are used sometimes just to amplify but also to change the sound a bit, some people really like the sound while others don't. I personally dont' care for the sound much but whatever, look back down on these comments and this guy had a better response but basically what I said should be right.
morganchavis 2 years ago
I'm not exactly sure, since I started drums a few days ago but I think they are sensors you put on the rim of your drums and it detects when the head is struck and it's suppose to make your playing sound cleaner.
ArmyOfAngelz 2 years ago
it doesn't make it sound "cleaner", it simply triggers a sample when the head is struck. If anything, using triggers will make sloppy playing more obvious.
Applequeso 2 years ago
It makes the sound cleaner, if you have a bad sound tech trying to mic your bass drum.
But you have to play well to use them, if you play sloppy, it shows bigtime.

If anything, triggers allow for more of a chance to be inaccurate and to fuck up on double bass rhythms. When you have triggers, everyone hears the mistakes, and everyone will judge because of that. Without triggers, its just a dampened sound, and nobody can pick out small flaws. Especially when playing faster paced music. So.... Triggers are actually better for precision and the like.

RavenHarper1994 2 years ago
wat are triggers? i know its a stupid question ive just never learned that.
XxFAMOUSxX19 2 years ago
triggers are electronic sensors used to detect a stroke on a drum, in this case the bass drum, and play a prerecorded sample. triggers are used on the bass drum to produce clearer notes at high speeds because a natural bass sound will "blur" together making it hard to hear the individual notes.
davexunit 2 years ago 2
No is you listen to his interview dip-shit!, he said he has foot problems and and he kept breaking normal pedals cos he was getting to fast, plus he cat do his heel tricks without em!, thats differnt to what i said he is no poser, the kidsthat use em are cos ey just wanna look good, Adler uses em for a reason!. so fuck you!!

satansalley111 2 years ago
Good. Anyway I still think (comparing to older videos) that your feet are too high on the pedal.
By playing with your toes at the bottom of the pedal you will need less force to hit the drum. Added to that, if the beater are not so near, you will get much more power! But using triggers makes no velocity differences, only rhythmically.
I think that the best angle (when no foot on the pedal of course) is 45° between the drum head and the beater.
Skcrog86 2 years ago
My advise as drummer would be to not to use triggers for practicing accuracy & power. More than that, never use triggers would be the perfect thing!
Isn't that a Pearl Vision drumset with Concord Fade ? (tom, tom, floortom & bassdrum)
