I just started using triggers. They have their ups and downs. As long as you still focus on becoming consistent, it will only make you a better player I think. Triggers have forced me to become louder with some of the faster stuff I do, so that the trigger can pick it up. (I could jack up the sensitivity, but then I'd get misfires from speaker cabs vibrating the head, so I don't).

Triggers also force me to be more careful about what I do with the beaters in between hits. I really should just NOT bury the beaters when I'm not playing, but I never got into that habit, so I'm just more careful now.

Lastly, I don't hit the pedals with excessive power anymore for some of the slower stuff to get the sound I want. You don't really need to with triggers, and you don't really need to if you're in a mic'd studio/live environment anyway. (and if you have the right head). I made a conscious effort to not do this anymore even before I got triggers.

Let's face it, untriggered or un-mic'd kickdrums aren't loud enough and sound like shit in death metal anyway. Triggers are only forcing me to become more consistent with my doublebass playing. DM doesn't need a whole lot of dynamics for drums usually anyway.
