im glad this showed up on my recommended feed. i loved the concept of matt horn's videos and glad to see someone else is trying it out. keep up the great work, i'll be back for more
Finally found this vid again after like a month LOL. I saw it on my CZcams home page couple weeks ago and quickly browsed through it thinking I would watch it later but ended up forgetting. Glad it came back up. Loved this vlog cuz its like a combined version of Chris Hammil's and Matt Horn's type of video (Im just a guy who likes watching sound & lighting gear setups😅😅). Keep them coming👍👍
Haha. I'm a drummer too and do EVERYTHING for my band. PA, lights of course my drums and merch. The bass player goes DI & doesn't sing. He literally walks in with his pedal board and bass. Guitarist same deal just has a small "monitor" amp. Singer, she has a wireless and has a hard time with that. I have been teaching them but, you have to be interested in "gear". I know as much about guitar & bass gear as they do from just researching and fiddling with stuff. This set up is great here!
Great video man! Something I learned from Matt's videos and my bands shows is to start plugging from the console and leave the extra at the mic stand. To avoid a pile of clutter next to the main console
Highly recommend the Donner Wireless DMX for the lighting saves ton's of time. Each of my light bars has on so all you do is plug the bar in and everything is ready
My heart goes out to you there, I was a bass player in a UK covers band for over 20 years, and I also set up PA, lights and did both FOH and monitor mix (annoyingly both IEM and wedges) and was more or less the music director. First to arrive and last to leave. Great times though but decided it was time to call it a day last September. Enjoyed the vid though, keep it up.
Great video, in the style of Chris Hammill and Matt Horn! I also run an XR18 based IEM system for my band and play drums so cool to compare notes. Personally for a room this size, to cut down on a couple of cables/mics I would just mic the kick and no other drums , but I’m lazy 😅. Keep making videos!
I like to mic the toms just to get that extra low end that I feel is missing from these smaller setups. It may be a little overkill for most places but it sounds great. Thanks for watching!
We use an XR18 to run our IEMs and have a split to send to FOH. Works great in venues with house PA or when we hire sound. I play an ekit and everyone is direct, so we have a silent stage. We need to run a crowd mic though.
The XR18 is awesome for what we're doing right now but looking to go bigger for more track count. Adding the crowd mic helped alleviate the "fish bowl" effect since we run a nearly silent stage.
@DrumsAndDecibels I have a Soundcraft 24UiR and I must say that it's the best thing I bought in a long time! But if it were to break down, I'd replace it with a StudioLive 32R from Presonus since from now on I mainly use Studio One Pro for tracks, click, midi and cues. Found your channel today, I love it! I'm also a fan of Matt Horn, Chris Hamill, Tank the Tech and Gabriel from Drum Beats Online (I Prevail).. and I must say that you sure do hell of a job, keep up the good work man!
And we keep adding MORE haha! We usually show up ~3 hours before showtime to set up and make sure there is enough extra time to troubleshoot issues or grab some food.
It's from a company called "Fabric Sign Guys." It has a collapsible aluminum frame and the fabric is almost like a pillow case that slides over the frame.
What a coincidence, I have the EV ZLX 12p with 18” subs in my cart @sweetwater. Some guys on a forum talk to me out of getting 15s up up. Wondering if I should go back? Also do those wheels come on the subwoofers or did you have to drill them in yourself? I looked at IEM but that stuff adds up quick for someone just starting out with a PA and ended up going for 3-10 inch wedges. Your video was recommended in my feed so I just subscribed. I play bass and trying to get a band together. Figure if I have a PA maybe it’ll be easier.
@@ronmexico1975 I would prefer the 12's on top actually. We just separately had two pairs of 15's and didn't feel the need to change it for these smaller gigs.
@@ronmexico1975Little piece of advice if you're starting, maybe you should rent your PA for a while in order to create some kind of emergency fund. If something breaks well you'll be covered and it gives you the benefit of trying things for yourself without committing. I wish I had this advice when I started haha. 😂
Seting up gigs are so much fun.

I appreciate the kind words! Matt Horn and Chris Hammill were a huge influence on wanting to create these videos.

@@Dillonr03 Thanks for watching!
There's at least ten people there, been there done that way too many times - The mega gigs always made up for it - Glory days... \m/
A drummer who does , we anything else, you my friend are a unicorn! 🤣 good vid thanks for sharing!

Sick! love watching smaller venues getting set up!
Love it! You should paint those pvc pipes black for the back ground lighting package

That's a good point. Something I often forget when I'm trying to rush through everything.

@@chuckcaldwell8423 I believe that's what we use. We still daisy the fixtures together but we needed to change out some of the cables that went bad.

It's a lot to do in such a short amount of time but it's tons of fun. Thanks for watching!
This is good stuff, I am a sound tech and I like seeing this stuff. Keep it up my friend!
Thank you for watching!

Met Matt Horn in Greenville SC.

Nice Cleeter hat!
Damn, that is a LOT of gear for a bar band gig! (Bar band bassist/sound guy here.) How long did setup take from unloading the trailer to downbeat?
And we keep adding MORE haha! We usually show up ~3 hours before showtime to set up and make sure there is enough extra time to troubleshoot issues or grab some food.
Scotty still doesn't know
@@dbunderscore shhh. Don't tell Scotty.
This gig must pay pretty good since you guys are supplying everything?
Hahaha. I wish!
Where’s this at in Louisburg I didn’t know there were any live bars there
210 Nash. On Main St. I believe
What's that backdrop called? Is it freestanding? Looks great!

@@DrumsAndDecibels Thank you!
XR 18👍👍👍👍👍
You have some stuff on your arm
It's just tit dirt!
What Pa are you using?
@@jonahlenius4727 Two EV ZLX15 tops and two EV ELX200 subs. All connected to a Behringer XR18 with Sennheiser G4 in ear monitors.
