[@tangents6299]

I have no idea what you're talking about, but, Hey, Trey! This is your aunt, Deede, talking. Yes, everyone, he was once a baby, and he's so handsome and talented.

Lol he’s a legend now

This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen on KZbin in a while.

[@adahbombdon1512]

Saw fetus couple months ago...trey sets up his own kit, he was in a rush to set up and he hit me in the back with one of the cymbal racks while walking up to the stage. I was honored lol

[@digitaltourbus]

He sure does set up his own kit day in and day out.

[@MrRick693]

That was just a hint to get the fuck outta way.lol

So glad you liked it Ben!

[@AmitSharma-kd7rj]

Underrated Drummer. His drumming style and cool fills compliment the brutal riffs of Dying Fetus

[@EnergyChasms]

Trey is a machine. Brought a friend to a fetus show years back, she had never listened to anything faster than Metallica and was blown away. Nice guy too.

[@digitaltourbus]

💯

[@MadMaXCOD-pi4dy]

And nobody is faster than Metallica if take their live performances from Seattle 89' , san Diego 92' and 88' Fight fire with fire. Metallica is untouchable but they are not Metallica now.

[@EnergyChasms]

@@MadMaXCOD-pi4dy Fair point, they were definitely unreal in their prime.

In death metal maybe

[@orfeo7772]

I really liked Mr. William's taste for Cymbals and drumset in general. I would like to ask him if he really thinks that Death Metal drummers, well, extreme death metal drummers cannot play without triggering the drums? What would a drummer sacrifice without using triggering or the opposite, what are we sacrificing ( just a way to say it) when using the triggers? I watched several drummers whose bass drums didn't sound without the triggers, I'm not sure if you get me, the guys played really fast but the bass drums were totally "weak" without the triggers so that's why I'd like to ask a real master and expert in this area. I also have to say that I love this guy's transitions when playing and some of of his grooves are really impossible to follow! I meant, amazing. After several years these guys ( my humble thoughts) are finally got into an extraordinary level and own sound.

[@MOTANKA]

[@lastditch727]

I have to disagree about the sticks. Keep the firths paired or they feel inconsistent. A friend got me around 60 pairs, let them get mixed up and I always end up using the heavier one w my snare hand. They are great sticks otherwise.

[@jamesfulmer7080]

I'm a beginner and was wondering, if you trigger your drums does it matter how high-end your drums are. It would seem like it wouldn't be necessary.

[@JohnQueSacc]

You can tell he's such a nerd about his equipment and god damn they kick ass live

[@digitaltourbus]

It's good to know a lot about the instrument you're playing, right?

[@thronesofblood3595]

Did you get John by chance?

[@digitaltourbus]

Nope. Only Trey was interesting in filming with us. We've got a handful more videos with Trey coming soon though.

[@SeverinoSE]

I’ve got practically the same sizes. Does he use a regular hi-hat stand or is it like an auxiliary stand attached to the rack?

[@digitaltourbus]

I'm not sure, sorry.

[@SeverinoSE]

Thanks and no problem :) I saw an other video of his where he used a stand but attached to the bass drum.

[@SeverinoSE]

Thanks anyway! I saw that he uses a two-legged stand and attaches it to the bass drum. Some people say that the vibrations from the bass drum make the hi-hats move while you're not playing them. At the moment I have just a regular three-legged stand next to the bass drum but you compromise playability since it can't go as close as the attached one.

[@sebastianjansson6436]

Korn is alright and ray lutzier is a beast of drummer (y)

[@digitaltourbus]

Thanks for watching.

[@punkterrorist4467]

What kind of cymbal locks is he using?

[@digitaltourbus]

If he didn't say it in the video, unfortunately I don't know the answer.

[@Haassan1]

Lol, 6:14 I think its pretty safe to assume no one is hating on that. Imagen if it was a Poo Biters cymbal, or 7 Avenged Angels something. That would have been akward.

[@digitaltourbus]

Them Cybals 💀💀💀💀💀

[@Hamptainment]

"See I'm in death metal so we trigger drums, right?" - kind of made me sad

[@Abrahamhamham]

It shouldn't have, because triggering you drums is exactly like the singer using a microphone. Especially when your drumming consists of ridiculous bpms that otherwise, would sound muddy. It makes your job easier and it sounds more tight. It's not like triggers make a shitty drummer, a great one. You still have to play everything on time and be precise. Imagine a singer on stage with no microphone.

[@Hamptainment]

Many a man has sat behind the death metal drum kit and crafted amazing powerful beats that helped define a genre, sans triggers. Triggering doesnt implicate poor playing either in my mind, but rather it creates a sound that is not to my liking, nor is it necessary for death metal drumming, which is why the statement above garnered the reaction from me that it did. Imagine a singer on stage with no autotuning is more your argument.

[@Abrahamhamham]

No, no, my argument is that it makes your job easier. The microphone amplifies the sound. I know it's not a 100% perfect comparison, because triggers don't amplify the sound. I don't like the sound of triggered drums also, but sometimes they're necessary.

[@zakhudson]

think of it this way though, you still have to play everything you hear now, take someone who cant keep time, or is sloppy, and well, triggers make that bad playing more transparent.

[@Admiral_Bongo]

Honestly, I absolutely hate triggers. Not because of the "it's cheating" thing (music is not a fucking competition), but because hate the über-artificial clicking sound most samples have. I like the natural sound of a real kick drum. If it sounds muddy, simply tuning up the drums should do the job. And comparing triggers with mics is absolutely wrong, cause guess what, when drummers don't use triggers, the kick is miced. And microphones are just a way to amplify the sound. If anything, triggers are much more comparable with synths. And I hate synths in metal (many other genres are fine, though).

[@Mr.Singh.E]

No homo but Trey Williams is a handsome man.

[@blackmetalerik]

why do death metal drummers trigger bass drum? can someone explain? it sounds stupid and like a jackhammer a bassdrum literally has the word bass in it

[@Perrythedrummer]

Being a drummer for a band named dying fetus would make it hard for companies to want to sponsor you haha. Just saying.

[@digitaltourbus]

But when your band is as legendary as Dying Fetus is, it probably isn't that hard to get endorsements.
