how did you get audio sound into computer....did you use a mixer

[BinaryCodeOfficial]

@beyonce50 - this was recorded at a studio w/ a bunch of mics

[sketchbager]

is he open handed by any chance?

[BinaryCodeOfficial]

@sketchbager - there's not a set-in-stone playing style, but you'll normally catch Umar playing French Grip, open handed. good eye and knowledge, dude! he also dabbles in traditional grip.

Toms triggered? I'm having a debate with a friend of mine over this. I say no, he says yes. I think the red clips on the toms are some sort of mufflers. I could be wrong. Yes? No?

[BinaryCodeOfficial]

@Dirtboy405 hey dude sorry it took so long to get to you - there are triggers on the set, but they were not used. we didn't get far enough into the recording to use them. the drums you hear are natural, but yes, those are triggers.

What is the name of this song cause it is sick as hell but I can't find it on the cd. Bummer

[theBinaryCode]

i got the real "TheBinaryCode" when my band played a show with the original band years ago, but this drummer is fucking insane. love his mixture of right and left blasts in his fills.

[CDRofl]

[awesomecheetos]

Just amazing, love this video!

[NathanExplosion23]

fucking awesome this guy makes it look like he's not even trying

[vdopower66]

wow that was fucking amazing

[njstylz]

@sebensoph . There is an overdubbed hi hat track (notice foot is also not tapping) during that part, done after the take. The drumming and audio, which is taken through a mixing board, is live.
