… we have a fully enclosed, big, ugly “drum condo.” Hooray for function over fashion. This weekend will sound great with the drums 4 feet from the choir, 25 feet from the front row, and not peaking much over 91dB-A anywhere in the house. (The stage volume rides at 85 without the choir.)
Oh, yeah, and great because Pedro is mixing this weekend. :)

Chris did a great job on the mix today.
I just went to a church here in BZN yesterday – a real MT Hillsong-type thing, complete with a great violinist. Not a single floor wedge in sight, Aviom mixers for everyone, and the gnarliest drum cabin I ever saw. Drummer Alcatraz. The snare cracked like a whip (albeit a bit dark for my taste) and I never once heard the hi hat (which I later saw had a 57 on it.) Boy, would I like to have had a stab at that mix (which Carmen thought loud but I thought appropriate for a gymnasium – overall sound was better than a gym would promise.) The drummer really let fly, but I do that with no Drumaquarium@ at all. I’m audio-dacious.
