I got together with 2 guitarists and a bass player through Craigslist last night. We met and played in my basement. They all thought that I would have had a PA, I had to tell them that I was not sure what it is. They told me I could plug drum mics and a microphone in it.
Since I started this a few years ago I have not really gotten into the technical side of things so I was wondering if this is something most drummers have, and do I need it to play with others? I could hear their guitars fine but maybe they could not hear my drums?(which I find hard to believe)
I thought mics were only used at gigs with big open area's, Does having your kit mic'd even while jamming in a small room have advantages? I will search through some threads but can anyone give advice at how much I am looking at here if I want to get a decent PA and maybe 3 or 4 mics for the kit? Any brands to stay away from? Minimum wattage needed, things like that.
Had a blast playing too, I was nervous because I have not played with many people and though I practiced a few of the songs they gave me it really was just a jam session which felt pretty cool. I hope we actually work on the full songs in the future though.
Thanks
