So this past Sunday we played at a co-op farm for their open house.Blistering hot but well attended and a good crowd and a chance to use my new drums. The tent was already in place and I did not have much of an option in terms of choosing where I set up. I found the most flat space I could. Set up and added my throne near the end and realized I was leaning a lot to my right. I went and found a wedge shaped rock to put under one of the throne legs and that helped enough, or so I thought. Had to do the same for my HH stand.
It was a bummer since I had spent time getting my new set aligned how I thought it would work. But once there I could not follow the plan because everything was somewhat out of place due to the uneven ground.
Gig went pretty well, 4 hours with 3 breaks between sets (it was 94 degrees F!
Yesterday and today I now realize just how much I was compensating for the tilt. My left glut is really sore apparently from clenching to maintain balance!
I need an easy to carry self leveling drum platform!
Can't see the tilt so much but you can see the uneven ground for sure!
