Your drums
Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2014 11:05 am
Hi Jon,
I was wondering if you setup your own drumkit at a tour or that the manufacturer gives you a kit per tour? Assuming you have a drum riser where your kit is set-up, what do you do yourself if you arrive at a show location? Tuning the drums? Hanging up cymbals? Snare? or do you have minions/roadies for that?
Same question for recording, are you taking your own drums to a studio, setup, tune and mic-it up and then start doing the thing or are you using kits provided by the studio (apart from the breakables?).
Are you always recording the CD using a clicktrack or are you so stable in tempo that you can actually do without (which I highly doubt, because mixing the audio will be hell)?
Sort of in-line with this question, back in the beginnen I assume you had to drag your entire drumkit to every gig and set it up yourself. Can you remember when the moment was that you didn't have to do that anymore. I mean, when somebody (record label? sponsors? roadies?) basically picked up your kit, set it up for you and you only have to show up to finalize the set-up so the show could, theoretically, start?
