I recently started running sound when I'm not using my PA for my own band...All I can say is some drummers out there should be ashamed to call themselves "drummers." Why would it take someone 20 min to set up 4 cymbals and change a snare on a kit that was already set up? I can set my entire kit up in 15 min (and I'm careful with my gear) and wipe all the finger prints off it.
As a drummer I would prefer to play my own kit everywhere. I honestly feel because of people like this, this is why soundmen don't want to bother with change overs. Because it doesn't take long to dial in a kit.
Heck, I would think I should be slow at it because for the last 20 years I always had someone to set my kit up and recently do it myself now but it's not that hard. All I can say if your one of these drummers I hope not to take this post negative but figure out a way to set-up in a timely manor. Cause if you work with me I'll let you use your own kit when opening for other bands.
