Re: E-drums , stage monitors, and low end build up in FOH
Bout all you can do is have them tweak the kit inside the drum module, but then they may or may not like the reults because what sounds good to their ears always doesn't relate how it sounds to the room your mixing in.
Depending on what drum module like a Roland TD-20 kit has direct out sends which can be assignable.
For example the e-drummer I worked with in the past fed me 5 sends like this.
1 for kick unproessed (since Roland has a a dial down method)
1 for snare unprocessed
1 grouped toms unprocessed
1 HH
1 gruoped Cymbals
1 mono send from mian out of module that was for only his drum monioting and left out of FOH mix since the main out has all the processed kits.
That way when tweaking for the e-kit mix I'm not tweaking the whole kit with just a stereo or mono feed which effect the whole kit.
I have way more control of the direct out sends since some of the sends are individual kit peices so if I need to cut a little low end on the toms it doesn't effect the whole kit.
That way me and the e-drummer have the best of both worlds I got a e-kit that I have way more control of mixing and I can send the mono send to his drum monitor so he's got his favorite tweaked out custom kit he dial up in his headphones which stay the heck out my FOH mix.8)~
