The METAL Thread

Actually I have, yes.

It's going to SOUND the same whether it's one drum, two drums or programmed because drums are triggered. There is absolutely no way for you to ever know whether or not someone has used one or two physical drums if you're listening to a recording. Again, because the sound made when a beater hits the skin isn't what's being recorded, but the vibration of the beater hitting the skin picked up by a trigger and fed into a drum module. This applies to live situations, too, especially because of how fast metal drummers play, playing without triggers just isn't viable. It would sound like total ****.

That is only if its triggered. And it is not just about the sound. In fact the worst thing about 2 hammers on 1 skin is the playability. Sure maybe there are drum skins or setups that makes this better, but by this time with triggers and such, the drummer will likely have the sense and money to do it properly and buy a 2nd bass drum. Double bass is not only for the show.

Agree with you on the playability point. Second kick is also useful for tom setup if not using a rack.

Lol I wouldn't say emo, more like doom/gothic...ish? Also I went down the STS rabbit hole a year or so ago, weirdly discovered that the guitarist dated and had another band with a lady from South Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleah_Stanbridge

She passed away in 2016 and the STS 2019 album was made about his dealing with her death...so yea stuff is kinda depressing!
