Triggers, rim shots, gravity-blasts..... Suffo-bla...blah...blah....
Someone could stand behind the drum kit and throw jellyfish and rocks at the cymbals and it would still be drumming as far as I'm concerned.
As long as there is a noise being produced by the drum, by whatever means, then that is the act of creating SOUND!
There is no such thing as cheating. There is no "
wrong way". Who creates these "rules"!? But, I am a retard though; I
only listen to death metal and don't understand the nuances of any other kind of music, thus my take on this is not really valid what-so-ever. I wish I was a real drummer
