E-drums: could they be a common thing for small bands gigs?

And here it is, a sample form the last gig with an acoustic drum kit and those nasty cymbals.

Gig was open to public but was actually a private party in memory of recently died musician and biker.

We had an old and small analog mixer and drums have been miked with just a yamaha EAD10 stereo mic/trigger and it's module (this thing here https://www.thomann.it/yamaha_ead10_drum_module.htm).

Guitars for all bands fed the PA for some added spread to the audience, not too much. Bass was on its own.

Foh is not perfect but resources were limited

My guitar is very loud untill the voice kicks in and that's how it has to be.

Had a blast playing my mini jubilee very loud, had master at 6. .



Odin bless rock and roll.

I don’t think that mix was bad at all! I could have used more bass drum and a little more snare. You’re right, at first I thought the guitar was pretty loud, but then once the vocals came in it fit really well.

Actually, all I hear are cymbals, high hat and snare. It's a crap drum mix by any standard ... and typical of gigs where acoustic drums are used. On a positive note, your LP sounds really good to my ear. I can barely hear the bass.

Note, it may have sounded much better than the phone recording did justice for, but this is what I was talking about. Cymbals, snare and HH way out of whack with the rest of the mix.

Are we talking about the same video? I thought the snare was too low in the mix if anything, and the cymbals and HH seem very well balanced to me. Listening through my phone speaker

I think OneEng just hates the sound of real drums
