Also, triggering isn't cheating, you still have to hit it at the right time, otherwise it'll be out, there's no correction, and it is still played. But for some things, you just need triggers if you are playing extreme fast stuff.

But you need that blend to be right, fully triggered kits are just a bit, well, meh sounding.

Pretty much how I feel about them. The only time a trigger annoys me, is when the bass drums sound all clicky.
