Re: Triggers
I've used pintech triggers for a while and then switched to axis ekits for my bass drum.I found that getting accurate triggering can be tricky for fast double bass for a few reasons.
First problem I had was that I have a habit of keeping the beaters buried into the drum head when I'm not playing a note which an cause double triggers. Also, you need to have a tight drum head and I found that having the inside of the drum padded or filled with pillows or blankets helps a lot. Unfortunately, if you want to play without triggers your bass drum will sound awful.another hurdle is dialing in your module. You'll wat to have your settings just right. This can be a lot to overcome, but if you get it right a triggered kick can sound awesome , especially for heavier music genres.
I'm taking a break from playing really heavy metal right now, so I'm not triggering live. The current band does a lot of recording and I record with mics and then take the recorded bass drum and use a kick to MIDI gate and trigger my bass drum after the fact.this has worked really well for me.
