STATE OF THE ART ELECTRONIC PERCUSSION
For all you drummers out there, the same electronic drum pad technology created by VINCE DE FRANCO for DANNY CAREY and used EXTENSIVELY on the forthcoming TOOL record is finally becoming available to others. For a sneak peek at what has for the most part been kept under wraps for several years (mainly due to a super-fast trigger developed by Vince while working closely with Danny), please check out synesthesiacorp.com


figured I would go ahead and post this to see what kind of secret messages every can get out of this...lol

It's no secret...these drums have been kept under wraps since at least 2002. That pic of the new drum prototypes has been on Danny's website for years. Great to see their hard work come to fruition...Now, just to hear it!

There's quite a good article on danny carey linked from that page. For those that missed it: from synesthesiacorp.com there is a link at the top "endorsed by danny carey". Quite a good read.

[clone]

the acoustic drums were combined with lots of electronic samples of dissonant clocks, warped timpani, eruptions of noise and explosions of what sounded like bizarre artillery

This was taken from blair discribing L.K.
I think i can hear on this sample what he meant with dissonant clocks and warped timpani.
