    A Roland SPD is great for triggering stuff like that … we use one to trigger sound effects like gun cocking and weird ambient stuff .. although it’s not something anyone is actually playing live  the fact that Drummer can hit it as and when he wants means you’re not locked in to a rigid format of the song.

    We are a 3 piece, bass/vox, gtr/vox & drum/vox.

    80% of our set is live, however we have maybe 6 songs that are click track guided with synth/strings/piano where applicable... think Journey, final Countdown, jump.

    We also employ some samples triggered during songs akin to Rush..

    Is it a crime? 
    We are exactly the same setup and use backing tracks for Brass, Keys and sample triggers. We spend hours pre recording them and mixing them and work really hard on them.

    If its ok for the bands we love like, Prodigy, Enter Shikari, Biffy Clyro to use them then why cant we?

    We personally feel that putting on a good show and having fun, enjoying what were doing is more important that the purist ego.

    my thoughts exactly...

    I am yet to have a punter criticise the lack of keyboard player.. they are more in awe at how the tech is used...
    My trading feedback

    is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
