Kick, Snare, Hihat! (I believe this is industry standard) my preference- Kick In, Kick Out, Snare Top, Snare Wire, Hats, Hi Rack Tom, Mid Rack Tom (if there), Floor Tom, Stage Right OH, Stage Left OH. OH1 and OH2 - that's something you defo want to clarify. The other thing about overheads is their placement. Loads of people seem surprised that they get phase issues when plonking them randomly above the kit. My preference for OH placement is equidistant from the centre of the snare in recorderman fashion ( e.g. above the snare and over the shoulder)

And that's the revelation right there!

The higher impedance will lead to them taking a bit more to drive. Interesting about the lack of low end - I thought it would be the top end that you'd notice a dip in more... or is it that they are just quite quiet all round? I suppose it may be you need a proper headphone amp to drive them to operate to the published spec?

Glare off the screen was preventing him having eye contact with drummer.

Pretty much!

It's been done before!

Yeah - not great at the moment :-/

Gosh. Your brain must have a hard life!

I quantified the impact of tone with a valve amp above. To clarify - if the volume coming out of the amp is lower, the less gets to the vocal mics. if you don't run a valve amp hard enough, you may not get the speakers working as they should and they won't give the tone that you are looking for. Likewise, if you don't run a valve amp hard enough, the tone will be very bass shy. In order to get the tone right you'll need to work the amp and speakers right -and that usually results in unfriendly volumes for a sound engineer. in terms of on stage noise rejection, mics with high off axis rejection are the obvious choice.

Clearsonic ampshield - if anybody wants one for their monkey guitarist.

They do also - spill into vocal mics. But that's the same as turning down the volume.

Modellers are so good now, I don't know what you would want to.

The tone of a valve amp changes with the volume as do the speakers. This enables the amp and speakers to be driven to the required levels without taking people's heads off.

That can be a problem. It depends on the mics that you use. Because it's being close miced it's less of an issue - more of an issue for kits.

Brings the volume of the amp down so that the PA guy has a chance of getting a decent mix. It guessing if it wasn't balanced where you were, there were no front fills.

It would look that way - I'm looking to see what else is out there. There's not really that much profit in reshelling so I can understand why the manufacturers go for selling their own premade solutions. Theres quite a few people I know looking for options on the reshell front now. Bit of a void now that inearz have pulled out of that market. Guess they are concentrating on pushing the Apex stuff right now.

Bit tricky at the moment - maybe I should offer my services in the reshelling world. Don't think I could be doing with the overhead though at the moment! Anyway, there's these guys - but can't vouch for how good they are - https://www.null-audio.com/collections/earphone-remolding-service

Sounds like a case of sack it off. You have a PA. You are a very attractive prospect for existing bands... or in an ideal position to start again and be more critical when it comes to hiring. Life too short for that kind of shizzle. Enjoy the inevitable bad mouthing though if you do decide to uproot.

Is this another bassferret thread?

That's just baiting now.

I must have about 1000 Gregorian chants down.

I think the original question should be... how many songs that are not derived from a standard 12 bar blues progression can you play...?

There's an Ashdown jacket too! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H-M-Biker-Grey-Woollen-Jacket-size-10-GREAT-CONDITION/292426740927?hash=item4415fdf4bf:g:W84AAOSwhplabOLu
