Very Cool, If you could somehow mute the drums so the sound they make doesn't interfere with the drummers ability to hear the sounds triggered, that would be optimal. However, the actual sound the drums make is what triggers and defines the how the morphing between sounds is applied. I suppose noise canceling headphones could do the trick - but you see how there's a conflict of interest so to speak.

I suppose noise canceling headphones could do the trick - but you see how there's a conflict of interest so to speak. I guess it depends on your end goal. If you're only playing in a studio situation with only the triggered sounds, muting the actual kit would be ideal. Live though, you'll want to hear the mix the way the audience will hear it. Either way, in ear monitors would probably be your best solution for hearing the mix. When I was playing in a cover band, I had a trigger connected to my kick drum which would either trigger an 808 sample (for the dance tracks) or a big maple kick sample (for rock). When using the 808 sample, we would mute the kick mic in the mains to try to make it more of a true 808 sounds, but there would still be the acoustic kick in the room. Having the acoustic kick sound there never seemed to be an issue when playing live. |

When I was playing in a Classic Rock band back in the early 90's, the drummer detuned his drums and triggered them. We would play these dives and of course between the amps, lights and smoke machine, we'd take out the power at some point. So this drummer would just keep playing and it sounded like crap. One of my fond memories of of those days. That and the part where I'd come home at 3 in the morning and my wife wouldn't let me near the bedroom until I had burned my clothes (this was back when you almost didn't need a smoke machine) and deloused.. Ah ..those were the days.

Hmm.
As a drummer of 23 years, I'm not interested in this one bit. Then I became completely turned off when I heard "It's like DJ'ing with my drumset".

If it were true it would be the kiss of death. Of course, it seems to be nothing like that. Do you actually think a DJ could make heads or tails of what to do with it? Nah, it sounds more like a pretty sophisticated controller that enables drummers to put their technical skills to use in a sonic environment that is normally more reserved for keyboardist/guitarist/mainstream controller-knob-twisters. If the morphing part of it is as sophisticated and responsive as advertised, I think it could be a game changer. Of course, I'm not a drummer - so I could be blowing smoke out my ass and not even know it. |
