It's kinda like pick-ups on a guitar.

It's kinda like pick-ups on a guitar. Yep! It doesn't make you faster, it just makes the sound of the drummer more consistent. And if you're like Neil Peart, he hooks his cymbals up to them and they go to a midi processor hooke dup to a midi patch for orchestra hits and hits them in his drum solo. The arch enemy drummer does this too.
