Live Playing...volume settings for ALL pads.

2005-02-04 by vap19592000

Hello everyone...
Hope this email finds ALL OF YOU in good spirits.

Question:

I cannot seem to figure out what volume levels to set for individual 
pads, when it comes to "LIVE" playing. The various drum kits that I 
have programmed are mostly set to the same, or close to,  volume 
levels but, some how or the other it seems that I do not get an 
acceptable cohesiveness from an individual drum kit.
E.G...some kits have the Hihats too high, or the cymbals(crash/ride) 
to high, or the snare/toms too low...etc, etc...volume levels are out 
of "sync".

Irregardless where you are playing, whether in a hall, gym, 
restaurant or stage:

What would be a general acceptable volume settings, for each pad to 
get a GOOD drum kit sound, as a whole,  where the hats, snare, 
cymbals, bass drum, toms and percussion instruments blend as a unit.

What volume setting have you tried for each of the assigned pads that 
you found works well??
I would love to hear your feedback, as I envision that most of you 
edrummers have used your kit for live gigs. 

I have researched earlier posts, but could not find any entries that 
specifically mentioned the above subject...

Any feedback would be enormously appreciated.

VAP.
