Noise! I mean, noice! Thanks for the education, lad.

Thanks for the tutorial. Im wonder do you use a speaker or something for the mics? Like what are you using for the sound to come out live.

Yes, micing a drum kit would only be needed in medium and larger venues where the drums will need extra amplification in the room. Larger venues will already have a sound system for vocals and other instruments. Give one of our account managers a call at 800.203.5611 and we can talk more specifically about your setup. We are open Monday - Friday from 9am - 5pm CST. Have a great day!
