For the record, people that say tiggers make you faster, or better, or are cheating, are idiots. Period. Trigger makes about as much difference in your playing as the mic the soundguy chooses to stick in your bass drum. At least with a trigger, YOU control this choice - not him.

A trigger doesn't effect your playing. It just effects the final sound. Cheating with a trigger, - IE using constant velocity to maintain an even kick sound, is NOT DIFFERENT than the soundman slathering compression on your acoustic kick to attain the same fucking result. Difference is, when the soundman fixes it you can play ignorant, and pretend there's nothing wrong with your technique. Whereas with a trigger, you ARE admitting your deficiencies by consciously compensating.

You're obviously right, and to add to your statement:
Not only do they not make you better or faster at all, but since they make that final sound so incredibly audible all the time, they make everyone hear ALL of your fuckups. ALL OF THEM. So in a sense, they don't make you sound different, but they pull your bass drum playing to the front, and really highlight how clear or sloppy your technique is.
