Hey guys! This will be a great help for my work if you could answer them in a much detail as you can. These questions are all in relation the modern heavy metal.

1) What is your background within music? Eg Engineer, producer, musician, other
2 ) Do you prefer the sound of Real drums or triggered drums?
Why?
3) In your opinion has the use of drum triggers made an impact on the performance on drummers? If so Why?
4) Do you think using drum triggers are cheating? Why?
5) Has the use of drum triggers become vital to be able play double kick patterns or blast beats at fast tempos such as 250bpm consistently?
6) Has the use of drum triggers resulted in the loss of the human element of playing the drums?
7)Do you think the use of drum machines plug ins such as EZdrummer or BFD could ever replace a drummer completely? Why?
