@WITNESSITALL Pete Sandoval. . . Sloppy? Are you r-tarded or something? He reinvented the blast beat, invented the swivel technique and the one footed blast. Also the fills are just plain awesome, and hard to play unless you sit down and learn your single strokes for a year or so. Plus the drums sound like shit because its from a camera not actually recording. go and find the song Dominate and listen to it.

@Punjabi192 just because he 'reinvented' something, doesn;t mean he's going to be the best at it. Any drummer with sense would realise this is quite sloppy. Don't get me wrong he's a great drummer overall, he was just having an off night perhaps. Every good drummer has his days

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

He's fantastic in the sense that he revolutionized death metal drumming and all drumming in general. But his technique is ass, and double strokes are lame.

@MusicSportsPolitics The trigger doesn't make your actual acoustic playing any louder... however it will seem (ie. through the monitors) much louder than it actually is because at 250+ bpm, a fast double bass roll will not be audible, end of.

Triggers don't "let you" play at a faster speed... your feet do. If you can't play at a certain tempo then how the fuck will "tapping" let you do so? WITHOUT spazzing and not havingcontrol. Seriously... get a clue and think about what you're saying.

@Steve128967 Ok, let me organize our thoughts.

If A) Playing faster makes the sound quieter

and B) Using triggers lets your regulate the volume

Than C) Triggers would let you play at a faster speed while still having a powerful sound.

So, just stop.

@MusicSportsPolitics No I'm not... you've proven you don't know anything and by your own admission don't even play drums. What the fuck? I'm not even talking about triggers at this point...

Yes, they make it sound more powerful and maybe more consistent than it is because they use a single sample sound, but in fact it's HARDER to play with triggers because mistakes are so much more evident when everyone can hear it loud and clear... I've already disproved that it doesn't let you go faster.

[MusicSportsPolitics]

@Steve128967 Ok, and at this point you are basically proving my original post. Drum triggers can be used to regulate the volume, and the consistancy of the volume, while allowing the player to play at faster speeds. I am not quite sure where your arguments are coming from, we agree on basically everything.

Pete's drums get beat up like a hooker on pay day.
