I'm looking to get my first pair of In-Ear Monitors, but on a budget. I am not looking for recommendations of specific IEMs! but rather, what kind of sound qualities are ideal for on-stage IEMs, and specifically for a drummer?
Do I want lows emphasized, mids, highs, some mixture, or balanced...
Trying to get a handle on Chris Dave's snare sound from the Robert Glasper Experiment album Black Radio. Sound samples are below.
I know since it's a studio recording, the sound also involves post-processing and effects, but if one were trying to replicate this sound as closely as possible just...
Anyone have any experience with how these two heads compare for toms? Despite all the "comparison videos" out there nowadays, I wasn't able to find one with these two in the same video, and it's hard to compare across videos with different mic'ing, drums, and tuning.

I've had a Tama Speed Cobra Level Glide Hi-Hat stand for some time now. The action has started feeling a little off though, and the pedal angle adjustment doesn't really do anything anymore. I figured I'd get a new one, but $300?! Expeeensive. But I really like the stand/pedal and don't want to...
