    Hey guys,
    I am drummer in a band and had a lot of gigs recently. My main problem is that I never know what gear the venues/pubs provide. I don’t want to carry more than necessary needed. But also not sitting on a kitchen chair while playing drums:D

    That’s why I started this thread. I am sure many of you guys know what the venues or pubs have and we can share this information.

    Please not just drummers, also any other instrumentalist:)

    I will start with the Mezz to give you an example:

    -full drum kit with 1 rack tom and 1 floor tom
    -cymbal stands for ride, 1 crash and hi hat, stool
    -they don’t have the cymbal felt washer, bolt cover, wing nuts
    -they also don’t have the brakeables which is usually (snare, pedal, cymbals,hi hat clutch)

    One should take full backline to all gigs. theres no point in relying on venues to supply gear, plus outside dublin, most venues dont supply anything. Nevermind the fact the venues gear itself mightn't be as good as your own.

    Not a drummer but here's a few things I've picked up from gigging around Dublin.

    Last time I gigged in Industry (downstairs of Mezz- never again!) they didn't have any hardware (stands), just shells. Also a dodgy stool that our drummer had real problems with.

    The Pint also has a weird clutch (different size to the norm), so I'd bring a spare.

    Maccored is right, most venues don't supply backline, if they do it's usually complete pants anyway.

    Prefer bringing all my own gear anyway, but if we're headlining I often cringe at what some idiot in the support band(s) is doing to my bass amp/stack :eek:
