WTF is a "stop-go" technique? Could someone explain it to this to a fledgling drummer and curious Wikipedian? // Gargaj 00:17, 2005 August 25 (UTC)

This page needs SERIOUS editing, people! I would do it if I had time, but there are just so many flaws I don't have time right now. I've just gone round and cleaned up the Christian Olde Wolbers, Andrew Shives and Byron Stroud stubs. I didn't check the edit history, but I'd wager all of these are done by the same person, and all are equally awful. A drummer needs to come and fix this article very, very quickly. For the record, Herrera does use triggers.

I fixed the comment on triggers. It may be a fact he uses them but he shouldn't be considered a bad drummer for using them. Triggers are not a dirty thing.

Also, a "stop-go" technique can go in many examples though one way to put it is like the intro of a song is fast but the verse suddenly becomes slow.

I maintain Raymond's website and other such business. I will discuss with him the contents of this page and update it.

Unlike continously playing single strokes on the bass drums for an extended period of time, a "stop go technique" is a way of playing where you play in bursts. (In this case, Herrera's double bass drum technique.) For example: 4 single strokes, pause, another 4 single stokes, pause, another 4 single strokes, etc.
