Is Kevin your dad?

Rock solid

Thanks, cheers!

Lee Francis. He's a monster.

Thanks! The intro was something the guys had developed before I joined up, and I love it!

THANKS!

Ha!

that was a 16. now it's a special dark K that is 19 in that spot

Great solution if you can and want to avoid the trigger pads/laptops/interface ableton thing. My FOH requires mixability for loops and the occasional piano track, so ableton is a must for this one.

Nathan - the iPad is just an interface to launch Ableton, which for this act is only providing click and some loops. It is problematic, leftover system from before my time, which I am replacing now with a surface I can strike to launch clicks.

I love 'em

Nope, any song changes come directly from Jon or our MD/bass, Lee. I'm likely getting monitor adjustments or mentioning something to Circus Bear that I might need.

Yes

At that time the clicks/counts/loops were fired via an app called "lemur", which I know nothing about, to in turn fired ableton. I found the iPad system to be problematic and not an intuitive surface for performing, and now fire Ableton via a Roland SPD-sx

Kevin Murphy thank you! I use my Roland Spdsx to run click/tracks and play samples but was just curious what app that was haha. I’ve used Ableton before but never with my pad. Need to try it out!

LJ Johnson - The person who built the Ableton session somehow talked the previous drummer into firing Ableton via an iPad Jain an app called “lemur”, telling me that neither had ever really thought about the mechanics of the job. New system being built, so one iPad will go away. The other is just pics of hand written charts for songs in the set and a pile of potential covers that Jon might jump into. Barely glancing over now after three weeks on the gig, but still have it there for potential audibles by artist til I’m more comfortable.

They're a blend. pop open any DAW, even garage band will do, and record a harsh sound with a strong transient, like a woodblock or cowbell, and then something softer like a shaker providing subdivision, and mix them to where is sounds pleasing! My session computer is somewhere locked down with m touring kit, but i'll root around and see if I have them on a harddrive. If I find them ill put up a YT of just clicks!

No idea what the schedule for that day will be like yet, DM me thru instagram (@bigrightfoot) a coupla days prior and I'll check!

Believe it or not, that's called a "Buttkicker". It is a device wired to an amplifier, fed signal from my monitor engineer, who is sending the kick drum and some of the bass guitar to it. Instead of having love frequencies pumped straight into my in ears, It shakes my throne at those freqs instead, so I feel the kick and only the high end "click" of the beater hitting the head is in my ears.

Pretty sure the OH’s are SM81’s and the Tom’s are beta98ampC’s - all my kit mic’d are Shure

It's a blend of woodblock click and shaker, i think.

No. I typically only use the number system in the studio. Since live is a less controlled environment I sometimes use a simpler timing, count chart to give me hints for stops and key fills, etc.

cool gotcha.

Nope. Was years ago, now with Jon Pardi

@@TheBigrightfoot So, is that mean you got Fired or you quit from Randy Houser Band?

The set up fits the requirements, so if the artist wants double kicks in a metallica cover, one accquires double kick pedal to do that. I'll try to play cooler shit with 'em. ;)
