Hi Giame,
here start the all problem of electronic world ...
about the monitor you have to test there are no rules, except maybe
that you need a good speaker for the bass frequencies...
I would recommend a 16' but it depends ...SWR are making very good
low end with small speakers...
Anyway you'll probably have to premix you Simmons & have different
EQs on theToms , BD & Snare ...
a SPM8 would be perfect for it & especially for the Simmons grain...
Personnaly I'm using a multiband compressor behind the
premix ...that's very important with these beasts...
& of course you'll need a very good & fast amplifier ...
Now it depends what you're asking to your system , what band... , &
if you're playing loud ...
But the minimum is to have a comfortable level as loud as your
acoustics elements...
knowing that with our fellows musicians, our bass drum is often
disappearing after 3 songs ...
Personnaly I 'm miking the bass drum too....
so anyway , you need a quite sufficient level & it requires quite
some artillery in the end..
But this is just my advice ...
Good luck ,
Patrice.
