Saw Santana at local Arena here in the UK a few days ago.
I was really looking forward to the show and seeing the mighty Dennis Chambers in action.
Unfortunately, the guy behind the mixing desk must have had cotton wool in his ears!
Dennis was way, way down in the mix. I could see Dennis doing sound great stuff, but couldn't hear him.
Even during his solo, he was doing some killer double bass ostinato and all you could hear was his over-loud snare.
I've seen other 'big hame' drummers suffer from bad mixing.
I just wonder if some sound engineers have a 'deaf' spot when it comes to drums...
