I too would really like to know.

Aye, Vitek is a pretty fucking good player. He doesn't really get too much recognition. He does seem to keep it fairly straight though, not a bad thing of course.

If only I could drive.

I will agree, from my own experiences Martin actually seems like a decent guy.

That would be insane. How the fuck are you getting down?

He can, you're correct.

In what ways are triggers cheating? Theoretically that could be done but I have never heard of anyone ever doing this in a proper death/extreme metal band. This would be considered cheating, REALLY cheating. The reason most people use triggers at those speeds of say 200bpm+ is due to the physics surrounding a bass drum. Even considering the fact that at high speeds two bass drums will usully be used, say 7-9 strokes a second may be played (in a musical setting) per drum. Considering the sound in a bass is produced through air shifting within the drum, at these speeds the notes become a mush as there isn't really any time given for the air to replace itself. What triggers do is send an electronic signal to the drum brain every time a strike is made which then outputs a sample, by putting the trigger sensor on the batter head or pedal of the bass drum. This means a clear sound can be produced for every strike of a drum hence making the sound far nicer and cleaner, as opposed to the mush heard if the triggers were not used. That wasn't a very good description but I hope you understand. In short; Yes you can assign a trigger to play 2 sounds for every strike but nobody does this, at least not in the respectable arena.

I am almost positive that the 1200 mark has been broken for hands.

You should specify how fast. When it gets to the higher bpm range even ideals of say an extra 10bpm can make all the difference.

I may well be interested in the sensitone, could I ahve some more details please, I.e. Size? Condition? Material? Does it come with Die-cast hoops? Thanks man.

His use of capitals isn't so good.

Kieron, your grammer disgusts me. Ha ha.

I do beleive that's what he intended.

Didn't realise you were THAT intoxicated. Ha ha ha. Thank you very much.

With the lack of capital letters in that sentence one may be tempted to infer that you cannot type it.

I had a fucking good night! Thanks a lot guys, was good. You indeed played excellently. You are ridiculously good. I could have been a bit ahppier with my playing but nevertheless... Stage sound was indeed pretty bloody good. I await the video/live recordings!

How do you think we did? Black Atom and Karloff were insane as usual!

Any feedback on the gig?

It sounds interesting, bar the fact I am only really getting about 170 bpm. In 16ths that is.

I would give a hand.

The event is being organised by Neil at Transition extreme sports limited. Looks sur eto be agreat evening with a really positive outcome. I await!

Is Johnny Rabb still the fastest? I haven't kept up with it. Looks like Nick Barker is set you beat Tim Waterson's feet record. While I cannot remember his score it's somewhere around 340 bpm 16ths, seriously. Still not too sure on how I feel about the sport-like nature of WFD.

Neil Peart.

iRiver, I think this is by far the best on the market. To anyone that's planning on purhcasing an mp3 player, do give them a look.
