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.

The info on this page needs to be written by someone other than a 16 year old.

I did my best to add more detail to the unique facets of Raymond's playing style, and added a previously overlooked tidbit about the way he "doubles" his bass drum with palm muted guitar notes.

I am, by the way, 16 years old. Get over it. 24.211.19.239 07:07, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
Why is it important to point out he loves to sleep? In fact, this trivia section seems pointless. Can anyone get the specs of his drum kit? Julez Nossy (talk) 19:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
