The past few years, it has become common to record records using e-drums and working with MIDI in album sessions. Its also helpful to program an idea before I can play it, that way I can hear it and learn it in a shorter amount of time. Another pro being I can practice/record quietly in my apartment without having to drive 30-45 minutes to my practice spot. This is especially useful if you want to write melody and harmony to the idea. The pros of digital drums are you can track and archive an idea very quickly. What are the most obvious pros and cons comparing acoustic and digital drums? As far as sounds go, I usually use it as a pad kit when practicing but when I record an idea with it I use superior drummer. But I use a Roland KT-10 for a kick trigger. They have the most realistic feel in my opinion. I prefer the silicon pads from yamaha DTX kits. The one piece I would be stumped without would be the snare. What’s the one kit piece you’d be stumped without? And you can’t say the double-pedal! I prefer to take a little something from anyone I can.
I wouldn’t limit my influences to one style. Who in your mind are some of the best drummers in metal – and music in general – today and why? In short thats what lead me to where I am now. I extracted my groove from Latin and R&B styles, used the technical facility from jazz fusion and put them in an aggressive metal context. I started out as a rock drummer(8yrs old), then was eventually hipped to Rush, King Crimson, Chick Corea, Mahavishnu Orchestra and other jazzy/fusiony/progressive bands. Talk a little about how you got started and what lead to you being the drummer you are now.
