Members Bobby1Note Posted May 26, 2013 Members Share Posted May 26, 2013 WoW,,,, we had a helluva band-practice last night. We have an excellent new drummer, and it looks like he's going to be an enthusiastic "regular". This guy used to play in a KISS tribute band, and he knows his way around a drum-kit. My "made-in-Englad" Premiers, never sounded better. Our bass-player was "hot", and a great vocalist too. We partially mic'ed the drum-kit, with EV PL-series mics on snare, rack-toms, and kick. Bass went through a 100w Yorkville BassMaster XM, and was simultaenously D.I.'d to the mixer. We had four vocal mics (three ND767a's, and an SM-58). We had wash-lights, a laser, and dance-floor lighting too (for atmosphere). It was a hard-rockin' night, and we were loud as hell, without a hint of feedback. P/A duty was handled by a pair of NX55P's, over a pair of LS720P subs. It was a club-like atmosphere and sound-level. Judging by the reaction of the musicians, as well as those who just sat and watched, everybody can't wait for the next "jam". For me, that's what it's all about. My phone's been ringing all afternoon today, thanking me for a great night, and they just can't wait to do it again. I'm stoked!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best band practice for me basically forever. Funny thing is: It was with the same old gang and just another day... nothing out of the ordinary. It was like "wow... is this us?" I dunno... maybe something was in the weather or sun spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ears ringin',,,, and no hangover either , which was quite a surprise. We knocked back a couple of cases (12's) of Corona, and Labatts' Blue, plus 8-10 1/2 liter cans of Grolsch ( Holland) and BittBurger (Germany). We shut 'er down at 3:20 AM, and no sign of the local constabulary.. Then it was mandatory "pizza-time" for those that had the "munchies", and we finally hit the sack around 4:30-5:00. Great night. As an aside, the bass we used was a '73 Rickenbacker. Sounded great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
