Funny you noticed.. is he well known out of Japan?

Primitive concepts of my work included triggering patches on my Dumbek.
After getting as far as hooking up pickups, I met recordings by 
"Asa-chang & Junrei" which kind of turned me off, getting to know what 
they had already achieved.

But then, later from visiting one of their concerts.. although I could 
be wrong, my understanding as of today is that their concept is to play 
sophisticated rhythms along with pre-recorded tracks.. not specifically 
triggering sounds on their drums.

This discovery gave me a reason to get back to my desk and continue 
working, although I still gave up using percussions to avoid obvious 
overlaps in the resulting sound.

I still highly respect their work, and wouldn't mind driving 3 hours to 
the concert hall like I did previously. :)
