Drums

In Live In Texas, you can see 2 flat black "drums" on Rob's drum. What are those? Synthetic drums?

 

I know one was used for the intro of Figure.09, I don't know about the other, lol.

Those are those electronic drums... I have no freaking idea what theyr'e called, but I know it's a recorded beat, haha. Yeah, I don't know my instruments, so hit me with fish and call me fishboy .

 

LMAO . At least I feel better to know I'm not the only one not to know .

 

I remember Rob saying something about him making some of the sounds used in their songs so it was probably something for that.

 

::slaps with fish:: FISHBOY FISHBOY!!!! ::slaps again::

 

They're preprogrammed sample drums. Aka 'triggers'. The most obvious song to hear them is in 'Faint' when it's in the intro and the drums merge w/the guitar. you can really see this if you look at any live Faint vids (like Faint live at Top of Pops)

 

Yeah theyre called triggers, Rob programs them to have different sounds, they are connected to a special computer I think Joe uses. My friend just bought some triggers and they are fun as hell lol.

Yeah he does it there but I mean when they play live, he has 2 triggers but I think Joe programs them up on Mount Hahn.

 

One's for "Figure.09" and the other is for those string-like sounds from "A Place For My Head."

 

As for Faint, how do they change the sound of the drums at the beginning? Is that some effect Joe adds?

 

Again, thats the triggers, they show him playing them right in the beginning of the song.

 

OK, thanks... Didn't notice, I tought he was playing on his "regular" drums .

 

Yeah, Rob plays the drums, Joe puts effects on them and stores them on discs.

@Will: What string sounds?

You know how at the beginning it has that menacing "dun-dun" sound? Go listen to it, it's right before Mike shushes the crowd. Also, if you listen to the album version, it's the sound behind Chester whispering "you try to take the best of me, go away." If you watch, Rob plays those string-sounds live.

You mean the low, stand up bass sounds?

It must be bass. That's how it sounds in my official Docklands live, unless Rob plays something i don't know

 

You can hear the 'dun dun' at the very beginning on the DvD when Mike says "You guys can have some fun" and it cuts to a shot of Rob using the triggers.

 

Yeah, that's what I was talking about.
