I read the rest. I disagree with most everything you say. You still seem to have a basic misunderstanding of what a trigger IS.

Also, your comments about compression and such are a little off. Compression is something that CAN crush a kick live, it DOES. Every show you play that they've miced your kit, I GUARANTEE that the soundguy is not only compressing your kick but slathering it with EQ, cutting those frequencies you're so proud of or boosting the crap out of them (depending on the house), and you're onstage thinking what you hear is the result of your gear and technique.

In addition, the idea that triggers "sound stupid"? You're talking about fucking SAMPLES, not TRIGGERS. If I mic my own kick, and sample it at varying velocities and with different strokes and then trigger it myself via a velocity sensitive trigger, it will sound JUST LIKE MY DRUM through that mic. If I play soft, IT WILL SOUND LIKE IT! If I play hard, IT WILL SOUND LIKE IT!

What you are talking about is settings, not triggering. I can smoosh my velocity curve and FART on my kick and it will sound like king kong just stomped on my pedal. OR, I can turn the curve off completely and it will react much like a real drum - the better your trigger the more accurate.

You're in 1995, dude. Not all triggers lack sensitivity, and not every trigger is going to be using DM5 samples.
