AFAIC - as far as i see 1) you say triggers cannot reproduce the dynamic range of real drums. I just linked MANY videos showing this to be untrue. 2) you say playing as hard as you can is difficult, and that triggers make it easier. I disagree. VELOCITY curves make it easier. If I turn mine off, guess what? I gotta hit as hard as I can TOO.

I'm really not trying to be a contrarian here...but now I'm thinking maybe I am I missing something.

Can a crescendo be performed on an electronic drum kit, or a triggered acoustic drum kit, in the same manner as an acoustic instrument? In my technical understanding, it cannot, but if I'm missing something, I wanna know!

I also should clarify what I mean by "dynamic range" in that context. I know that the overall signal level range can be matched (whether that's in acoustic power, voltage, or whatever.) What I'm aiming at is the difference between a continuously variable instrument and a discrete set of different intensity samples. It's the difference of ramps vs. steps.

As for your 2nd point...I'm not really sure what you're getting at there. Why use the triggers if not for that advantage?
