IF YOU'VE EVER SAID ANY OF THESE, THIS CLINIC IS FOR YOU!

  • One drummer hits too hard, one too soft
  • Our drums sound terrible, dead, too loud, or like they are not part of the mix
  • Our sound people don't know what to do with the drums
  • The drums drown out the vocals
  • If we balance the sound with the drums, everything is too loud.
  • Our drummer has been begging to lose the electronic drums in favor for "real" drums. How can we do that and can our room handle it?
  • We have 3 different drummers - jazz, rock, heavy metal - and every Sunday the drums are different in the mix.
  • Nobody claps
  • People walk out because it's too loud
  • I don't like the way the tech mixes my drums
  • We can't agree on how loud the mix should be
  • I am afraid of drums
  • Even if you don't mic your drums, you'll benefit because you'll learn how to have the best approach to playing - this will apply in any environment.

The clinic is a deep dive into the relationship between drums and sound and how we can maximize their effectiveness in the context of contemporary worship.


We will look specifically at fixing problems:

  • At the source through drum and cymbal selection, drum heads and tuning and dampening, sticks, brushes and beyond
  • Room Acoustics
  • Microphone selection and positioning
  • Processing and soundboard approach
