RE: as a former "Live Sound Guy"..."not too bright"???

"Actually, it's dictated by the least musical member of the band with regard to dynamics, which, in the case of a rock band, may be the drummer or one of the guitar players. However, the lead singer's sound SHOULD dictate the rest of the band's volume, not the snare drum."

Oh...ok...but does the vocal need to over the loudest Acoustic instrument...AKA snare drum...guitars, bass electric keys can always turned down...I have put guitar amp facing the wall and cover them up to keep stage volumes down...let the back of the amp set the stage volume...

"Hogwash. The main reason a drum riser is used is so people (bandmembers and audience) can see the drummer. And putting the cymbals 10 degrees higher actually puts them MORE in the vocal mics (not that it makes any difference!), since the vocal mics are typically angled upward"

If the drum riser is 3'-5' above the stage, you are wrong...

"Ummm, within the constraints of the afore-mentioned snare drum, I presume"

Give this man a cigar...

Vocals have always been my priority...

Have you ever ran live sound???

Thank you for your insightful prose...greatly appreciated...
