Hello,
I have a little question about amplification.
With my band, we get some outdoor gigs, where we bring our gear, amps, drums, lights and so forth. Generally we don't have a sound tech nor do we amplify the drums. On stage, since I hit relatively hard, we don't need to amplify the drums, it's, lets say, "enough" - but the bass drum sounds weak and we get a lot of crash / hats.
I miss a boomier bass drum sound. It sounds dry out front.
We're looking for cheap / simplest solution to get more BOOM and less PAC . And I'm totally hopeless when it comes to mix / cables and all.
From where I stand :
- A mike in the bass drum, to the mixing table where the singer and the saxophone already are - what equipment do I need for that ? I heard about a compressor too ?
Bringing an independant amp / speaker, a Headrush I already have for an electro kit
The other solution I think of, a closed front bass drum skin and a wood or plastic beater ?
Again, I think on cheap / light side, other wise I would mike up everything, but then again, I wouldn't know how to mix everything in the amps without damaging our equipment and loosing a lot of time.
My equipment :
Premier Signia 22x16, EQ1 batter, EQ3 front with 5"vent.
Iron cobra pedal (power) with felt beater.
Thanks for your advices.
