It's definitely not the same as triggered bass drums. You can tune the V-drums so they totally feel like real drums, but the main thing is that they don't make as much noise on the other microphones as real bass drums would (you only hear the clicking). That means it's much easier to fix the recorded bass drums. Another cool thing is that I can have the toms mounted lower when I don't have the bass drums.
what do you think of his setup? i really like the sound of the china bekkens he uses. Cryptosy latest cd has also a very cool drumsound, have you heard it?
This is not a project - it is Ihsahn's solo album...
I've been told the album will be mixed in January for a March or early April release. Think the video will be finished by February or something but I don't know when it will be made available to the public.
