Hey, guys.
I've been playing out for the better part of the last two years and, for the most part, it's been a lot of fun.
But there have been a bunch of times where it's been very little fun ... mostly because the drums are crammed into a corner of a tiny stage or bar basement, and pieces of the kit aren't exactly in the best position to be struck with accuracy or comfort.
Yeah, somebody call a waah-mbulance, right?
I'm not actually writing to complain, just to ask whether it would be worth my while to set my drums up in pretty effed up configurations, at home, to gird myself for these inevitable moments where the ride cymbal's bell is going to be just a tad too out-of-reach, or when I have to mount my cowbell on the left side of the kit instead of on the bass drum or the floor tom ...
How do you prepare yourself for a set-up at a dive that's likely to be adverse, and unlike your home or rehearsal set-up?
Thanks.
