      All of their records are fake drum sample editing/triggers. 🤷‍♂️ Their excuse will be the same as every other Plastiband: "Everyone uses fake drum sound, so why can't we." Meanwhile loads of bands actually don't and actually play and record what you hear on their records.

    At 2:50: Not a trigger, it's a dampening device used to control the tone of the snare. It is brass, magnetic and attaches to the drum hoop, made by a company called Snareweight. It is an excellent choice to reduce the ring and some of the undesirable overtones of the snare without choking off the volume and projected character of the drum. It is known to professional drummers, so this shows the drummer has thought a lot about the sound of his kit.

The drums are insanely gridded ( meaning each hit is edited and moved to be perfectly in time) his snare is straight up a different sound halfway through the track, his own editing even falls apart in one video as his gridding falls out of phase and everything starts doubling. Go watch Craig Reynolds video on him, he got probably the best drum production expert out there to look at the waves and it’s pretty conclusive. He edits his drums to be way, way tighter than he could play in real life.
