the Trigger is just attached to the skin of the bass drum and detects whenever you hit the bass drum. This then triggers a "sampled" kick drum sound via the drum module and is sent to the desk.

- Although I don't use total replacement, i always have the kick mic'd up as well. Then usually blend it out front 70/30 ish in favour of the trigger.

The mic gives you the low end punch and the trigger gives you the high end attack to really cut through the live mix. I have/like a really clicky trigger which you just cant get through a normal mic.

EVEN when you EQ the fuck out of it through the desk. You may get a decent single kick tone through the mic, but it sounds different when you're playing fast double kick. Not to mention it still doesnt really cut through very well when sat in the mix.

For a live demonstartion check out my gig at drummonds on August 4th!! lol
/end shameless plug.

And thats it.

Other stuff I have sitting around are Boss Metalzone, Tech 21 Sansamp TriAmp Bass Pre, Squier Affinity P-Bass

does "sitting around" imply that you might be selling your sansamp?????

What is your band called?

[Tooms]

Your Fears...it says so right there

**cue 'verbal' abuse from elitist anti-metal/hardcore forumers**

The band on that date that we're supporting are called Eternal Lord. But Enrapture are playing too who I think are currently Aberdeen's best metalcore band.

Ah, I never noticed. Very good then, I will perhaps come along to witness the bass drum trigger in action.

On topic:

Various keyboards: Virus TI, Roland JP8000, MicorKorg, Roland RD-170 piano, Moog Realistic Concertmate MG-1, Korg Kaossilator
Akai MPC2500
Tennor Sax YTS62

Mics and stands
lots of cables
Other bits and pieces kicking around, most of which don't belong to me!


Quite fancy a Roland V-synth GT but a little pricey.

I have some other stuff but the above is the gear I use live.

[Tooms]

yes yes, you have "THE TONE QUEST" guitar rig. shut up.

Oh Dan was gonna ask, as a cheaper way to get a very good (mic'd) guitar tone. Do you reckon it'd be worth buying a single (or two) Celestion V-30(s)? You can get them on their own for like £40/£50!!

Then obv. need some cab cloth (got that) and then build a make shift cabinet to house it??

I'm thinking about recording wise here - without having to go out and buy a Mesa or Orange cab or something. And it'd live in a tone cupboard. (i'm building a vocal booth/tone cupboard soon)

We're nice people.

[Ross.]

Guitars:
Gibson Flying V
Washburn WI65 (looks ridiculously 'rawk d00d' but is in fact one of the most versatile guitars I've come across)
Garrison acoustic
Couple of old classicals

Pedals:
Ibanez CF7 Chorus/Flanger
Boss DD-6 Delay
Digitech Death Metal Distortion

Also the Dean V I've been trying to sell on here (50 made and I've got number 2. You could have it if you want...)

Hopefully I'll have a Telecaster by the end of the year, along with a tasty new amp.
