Heel toe with pearl demon drive and triggers 12/4/10

A quick improvised drum jam.
My mac and external hard-drive have filled up so i only had a short time to record this one.
Using my friends Roland TD12 drum module which iam sadly giving back today.
Haven't used gravity blasts in an Improv video for a while so they are slightly off.

what do the triggers do? :S i can never understand when someone explains it

[jamestfe123]

@lucci97 You put the trigger which is like a piezoelectric microphone that pics up the signal from your bass drum, and send it via jack lead into a drum module. Roland td12 in this case. The module will then trigger a sound that you set based on how you've set the module to react. I've set mine up to be what I actually play is what you hear, by setting the threshold abit higher so you do actually have to hit the bass drum hard to get any response out of the drum module. It just cuts through more

Hey man, I play on a Pearl P-122TW double pedal, I can get the double going with my right foot, but I have trouble getting the heel hit with the left foot down. Any suggestions? (P.S. I'm doing heeltoe without shoes on)

[jamestfe123]

@Oriasis I had a problem when i had a DW 4000 pedal with getting both strokes with my left foot. i knew what had to be done. but the notes just were not coming through as there was not enough space on the board. until i got demon drive which instantly solved this problem. I tend to keep my feet floating above the pedal rather then down on it. right heel, right toe, left heel, left toe. Doing heel toe with shoes on helps separate the notes (i find) as the surface is more sturdy.

[TheOneChriss]

Is your kit in your garage? If so, is it cold? and does the tempeture effect the cymbals?

[slipknotxtoxthexend]

I have trouble using heel toe on my iron cobras but i can do it almost flawlessly on a crap bass pedal from my first (off brand) drum set. I think it might be because of the stopper on the iron cobras because i have huge feet and still growing. Any suggestions?

Your ride sounds good bro but try hitting the crown of it when ur blasting man sounds slot better

[DrewSynIV]

Dude you are a sick hardcore drummer I'm loving this video bro!! Yo you're blast beats are straight edge I've been practicing death metal blast beats for a while now and I'm starting to get better more and more slowly. Do you have any advice on blast beats I could use?
