I agree with Arrowhead, can't stand listening to natural bass drum mic'd up in a live setting. The trigger really cuts through nicely



whoa, don't misconstrue me. NOTHING beats properly micing and amplifying the natural sound of an acoustic drum. It's just most clubs/soundmen don't have the room or variety of mics needed to handle every kit or drummer well. So often the best way to keep that sound room to room is to bring it WITH you via sample.

I'd actually prefer a sample of my OWN drums miced and recorded the way I like over using someone elses sound coming out of my own drum if I were a drummer in a band.

I just don't want to sound pro-samples. Ideally I like the combination of Mic, Room, Drum, and Drummer to get a unique sound. But when there's other factors working against you, triggers and samples can yield a much more controllable sound than live mics.
