Cheers! It was a cracking gig, & in a unique setting.Lights, smoke, crowd vocals... A real rock show.
Nicely done.
It was fairly up there, but by no means the loudest stage I've worked. It probably seemed a bit louder than average, because we usually work on IEMs these days, but this was all live monitoring. The drum monitors alone were a 3K stack. FOH was a 38K Martin line array, so even though it was theoretically outdoors, we were getting quite a bit of pump in the auditorium, as it was surrounded by the castle walls.For real Andy? That would only be considered "fairly loud" stage volume?
I really am asking, I don't know
Thank you, it was an amazing view (please excuse the crappy shot, it's all I've got)What a nice view you had! You guys sound great!
Cheers. The camera could have been better positioned to capture some drum action, but TBH, it was an afterthought. I remembered I had an old Q3 in my gig bag. I taped it to a spare cymbal stand, took a guess on positioning, & hoped for the bestNice Andy - I always like the cam shots behind the drummer.
Thank you. It was a very cool gig for us. We were booked again for 2020, but of course, that never happened. We're still waiting to hear for this year.Very, Very Cool!
Thank you. This was just under 1 year post stroke. Still a few hangovers / challenges, & still having to think about stuff that was instinctive pre stroke, but 95%+ of the way back.Nice work Andy! Was that recorded pre- or post- stroke?
I'm back to a point I'm extremely pleased with, especially compared to the early prognosis. For sure, things are different - I had to find workarounds & push myself, but I count myself extremely blessed.Have you progressed to a point where you're satisfied with your drumming? That's an aweful large hurdle to overcome. I can't imagine all the life changes that ensue. Yet, it's life, and you're presented with choices at every turn.
Cheers Art. The little zoom camera picked up well, & a lot of sound reflected from the surrounding castle walls back to the stage, so that helped balance too, if not a bit too "atmospheric" at times. Good stage monitor mix helped a lot, although keys were quiet for me the first half of the gig, & drum monitors too loud. A quick word fixed that. Drum monitors were all but switched off in these clips.Wow it sounds so good-even that close and behind. It's like that open-air sound translated well on video. In a freaking castle no less it looks like Sir Andy. The energy, the vibe, that's what I'm talking about.
Thank you!awesome work!
