一則華爾街日報的專題,探討現在很多金屬樂隊的鼓手因為肢體跟不上想法,在錄音甚至演唱會時使用電腦或鼓機代打。這應該早就是個公開秘密吧。其實早在差不多十年前,六翼天使在2004到香港時,便提到鼓手為到歐洲錄音特別操練,錄音室的人在他們錄鼓的時候,有點驚訝:「怎麼你們居然會真的自己動手打鼓?」

A piece in The Wall Street Journal writes about an increasing number of heavy metal drummers use hardware to manufacture all drummings in studio recording sessions, sometimes even replacing live drum tracks in concert. Isn't it an open secret? A little story: almost ten years ago when Seraphim came play in Hong Kong in 2004, they shared a fun piece of memory. When they entered a studio in Europe, the engineers were actually amazed seeing their drummer taking the seat himself. "What? You play drums for real when recording?"
