How To Set Up Your Drum Kit In 7 Minutes 20 Seconds
In this video you'll see me set up my drum kit from its cases onto the stage in 7 minutes 20 seconds. Sounds crazy but it can be done. It's all about practise. I actually think I could've done this faster but our bass player's daughters packed away my equipment at our gig the night before. Although they did a great job, things weren't where I expected them to be so this added on a bit of extra time.
Listen to the commentary I made for this video to get even more valuable information about setting up your kit at gigs.
From watching the video you will learn:
- How you should prepare the stage for your set up
- The correct order for setting up your kit
- How to batch your set up tasks for maximum speed
- What types of drum cases are best for gigging
- Why preparing your stands before you pack them away is vital for a fast set up
Try it out. Your band will be shocked. Sound engineers will praise you. You'll be a legend. And if that's not enough, you'll also have more time to concentrate on the number 1 way to entertain yourself while on tour.
7 minutes 20 seconds is the time to beat. Can you do it faster?
