I use alot of drum triggering these days
as i work with alot of hard rock, metal and hardcore bands
i find triggering drums an invaluable tool for getting the punch and power i need on kick drums and snares..... (and the majority of the time this is the sound that bands are expecting from a studio recording these days)

Dont get me wrong if could acheive that sound by recording an acoustic kit and then processing it it would but, i just cant acheive the sound i am after without layering and mixing some triggers over my orignal tracks

Im am friends with alot of guys who work with indie bands who i have found are also starting to use triggering alot more than in the past

i think tiggering is the same as anything if its the sound your after and is done properly it sounds great and you can get some fantastic results, but done badly it sounds terrible

if your looking for a more natural sound when triggering drums trying playing around with usuing multi samples on your snare drum, which will make your rolls sound much more convincing + the same for toms if you are triggering them too....


hope that helps in some kind of way
