Hey,
I read an interview where Lars Ulrich said he doesn't use triggers. I seen the band live last summer and I've been watching their new live DVDs.
At first, I was like WOW Lars is getting his footwork back in shape. Sounded like the Lars I liked in the 80s. But then during one of the songs from the mexico DVD the camera went for a close up of his feet.....and what did I see attached to the bass drum hoop? A big red trigger. Looks like it might be a Ddrum trigger.
Now I've never used them....and to be honest I wouldn't know how....I'm not sure exactly how they work. I know the trigger is a sensor and that would have to be hooked up to a module, right?
So I guess that means that the bass drum we're hearing at a live show is actually from a module. So why would he do that? Is it because he just doesn't have enough skill with his feet? If we heared the actual drums would we hear how sloppy he is?
Also, its funny to note that he goes to the trouble of putting mics into the bass drums to make it look like he's doing it old school. Kind of sad too. I guess your ego will make you do silly things like that.
Anyway, hit back with any thoughts on Lars, what you think of him for using them, the pros and cons of using them....or whatever else strikes you.
