or annoy soundmen!
I once had a dude who tried to mike up my octopad. No kidding. This guy miked
up my drumkit while i was still putting it together, so I hung my homemade
octopad in place (which did not look like a normal drum at all) and before
i know it this asshole comes up with 2 mics to mike it up. As you might have
guessed, this was my worst gig ever, the band sounded totally crap, but
it's still a great story to tell my audio students (how not to...etc)


Good luck with your project and keep us informed

greets Berk
