a drummer can be good and use triggers. I don't see how it makes you a non-talented drummer if you use triggers...

alot of times triggers sound better than a mic-ed kick drum live.

i'm not saying that if a drummer uses triggers he sucks, because if you can do that shit even if it is soft, your amazing in my book. I have problems keeping a slow steady rock beat, but then again i'm not a drummer. From my understanding of them no matter how solf you hit the drum its still gonna come out the same volume. now i'm guessing that'd help alot for a gravity blast or something like that. its cheating. There are guys that can do shit like that having it loud as everthing else without triggers(still amplified tho), then there are guys who need triggers for it to be heard. whos a better drummer?

that's the point of triggers. that way you don't have to super compress drums and have it sound all gay. i don't know ANY drumer who has EVERY hit coming out at the same loudness without compression or triggers.
