How do you know what it sounded like? What you hear and what the audience hears is completely different.
You could hate what you hear on stage and be blown away by what comes through the PA.
The best post I have seen so far was the one ignored buy drumr0
Once you mic your kick you give it to me (the sound guy). More than anything else on that stage he will likely spend more time tweaking your kick and snare then everything else on stage combined.
Even if you asked for drums in your monitor (not the norm unless stage volume is ridiculous) you would still get a completely dry mix without gating, compression, eq and reverb.
Anyway all I’m saying is you can be very unhappy with what you hear and in-fact it can be great in the front of house system. We specialize in making 400 dollar kids sound like 4,000 kits! LOL It just takes a lot more work with the shitty kit.
