Gig Last Night: I used a minimalist rig and LIKED it!

We played a benefit last weekend. Tiny stage. I have a minimal rig to begin with so I went with my standard setup. Our drummer definitely doesn't have a monster set, but it's snare, one rack tom, floor tom and 3-4 cymbals. Anyway, he looked at the stage and said "I'm not bringing it all in". Played our 1:15 set with bass, snare, hi-hat, one cymbal. Sounded amazing. Honestly, I didn't even notice his toms weren't there. I found it really impressive.

 

 

I've always beleived that a drummer's skill level is inversely proportional to the size of his kit. The best drummer I've seen lately had kick, snare, hi-hat and a cowbell. This was in a cover band doing Motown, through Modern Pop and some heavier rock tracks. Even bashed out a drum solo.
