i don't know very much at all about drums, but i have a piece of crap little 8 piece kit, and i noticed (i'm sure everyone else has too) that hitting the bass pedal fast enough is really easy, but if inexperienced it is very unaccurae and the sounds are different volumes. So my thought is that since when i hit the bass pedal fast you can't hear it everytime, if i used triggers, with a little bit of accuracy practice, i could sound really fast even though i suck at playing...... Could someone shed some light on this topic, because when i think about it it sounds like cheating. Nick Barker, for example, uses triggers and his double-bass sounds very crisp and even. I question whether or not he could play that fast hitting the bass pedal with his feet at an audible level....
