7 Playing Live Tips For A More Realistic And Powerful Electronic Drum sound

If you're getting a sucky sound every time you play live with your electronic drums, this video gives you 7 tips on how to make that sound more realistic, and just overall better for every room and system you play out of. It can be a struggle to get a decent sound, but here are the 7 strategies:

1. Ambiance CUT IT OUT It muddies up the sound. If the room is decently sized, you don’t need it. Keep it light.
2. EQ Your Kit. Crank that bass. Or Cut it. This is a trial and error thing.
3. Compression (module or soundboard) if your dynamic range is TOO crazy, this will help bring the quiet sounds up, and the loud sounds down. It changes up the sound a bit. This can really help your sound. (play example.
4. CHILL WITH THE CYMBAL VOLUME
5. KICK SNARE (bring them up, you are the heartbeat of the band)
6. Choose A balanced kit. Some kits sound better out of a PA. Cycle through them until you find the one. Sometimes the best kit, is only the best kit through headphones.
7. Keep A VST Handy
