My view of proceedings from my office chair (drum stool)!
This picture was taken at our own gig at the Count Basie Theatre in Red
Bank, NJ. It shows what I can see, which is not a lot depending on the
reflection of light. I'm working on getting the Perspex screen(s) laid
at an angle to me so it stops the sound slap back and of course stops me
seeing reflections of myself (very annoying during the show). It is a
problem.
The screens are there because it helps shield the drum kits clattering
sound from being picked up by Chrissie's microphone which would put that
sound in her ears. Not good. (Even I don't have it in my own ears)!

So
I'm working with our scientists/techs on an easier way of not getting
any audio/visual reflection and an angle would cure that.
Now aren't you glad I shared?

Tomorrow we are doing our own show in Akron Ohio. Now I'm sure I know someone who is from that neck of the woods!!!

ReplyDeleteSaw a guitarist puting a Perspex shield in a zigzag across the front of his cab recently for a similar reason Martin - stopped the cones firing the high volume directly forward across the stage and the zigzag pattern was to break the sound up and send a bit of it sideways, rather than it bouncing back and fore into the mic on the cab. Anyhow enjoy the rest of the touring. Cheers! Alex.
ReplyDeletehow about you just put her in another room?
