What gear is required?
- An acoustic drum kit with cymbals is available in most locations. Otherwise an electric kit is provided. Personal cymbals and snare drums may only be used if approved by your team leader.
- You will need to bring your own drum sticks
- In ear monitors - We use in ear body packs to hear everything on stage, no Foldback wedges. We recommend the Shure SE215 to start off. But note, these are only single drivers and will not give you a very comprehensive sound. For drums - you should aim for a minimum of dual drivers with a 3.5mm jack. No headphones such as Beats by Dre etc
