Derek Roddy - Band practice/ Meinl cymbal demo there are NO TRIGGERS on this video

Derek Roddy jamming with Serpents Rise.
For those wanting to know about the kick drum sound...
There are no triggers used on any drum.
(Although...this is about as fast as you can play and get away with not using them)
I used some clear packing tape, a dime for beater impact point, the head was a remo pinstripe with a pillow inside the drum. The front head is standard logo sonor head.
The tuning is as loose as I can get it without the head coming off the drum.
Cheers.
