Electronic kits live..

[Jetfire]

So, Ive been speaking to a mate about his electronic kit and using it live but Ive never seen an electronic kit being used live.. Anyone got any good videos of them being used live?

(Yes, I am thick..)

I've done it and it's horrid - at least for a while.

You need a REALLY good PA and excellent monitoring - arguably with a seperate monitor for the drummer that JUST does drums.

Also, you need guitarists and bassplayers that will turn down backline massively to compensate for the lack of on-stage volume.

Drummer has got his own PA speaker and headphones so I think he's already thought of that thankfully.

Sound wise I think he tends to go for more dance styles rather than traditional drum kit sounds..

dance styles

If the rest of your band are following this genre then great. If you are a rock band, it gonna look lame, and sound lame.

The guy from New Order uses a lekkie kit.
