I have now been playing my new TD-12 with Pm30 monitor... for about a month... I love it!
I have mostly been using the #1 kit and the #50 kit along with a brush kit #10 from time to time.
I have not done too much experimenting yet... (that will come)
The sound "I" have... hearing thru the PM-30 sounds full, robust.... has life and sounds like a good drum set should sound. the crashes are very lively... the ride symbal is very good, splashes sound good. the snare sounds and the toms sounds are loud with plenty of life to them.... high hats... are terrific... bass is good!
That perspective is from "my" point of hearing, behind the set with the PM-30.
I thought this was wonderful and did not think any different until a few folks said they could not hear the drums well, cymbals ok but not the drums!
I was pretty surprised!
I talked to the sound guy and he said he would change things if and when I said so...but he felt there was no problem.
Well Last night I had finally got a back up drummer to sit in for 4 songs at the end... I was totally shocked to hear these beautiful sounding Vdrums sound like a cheap set... distant... lower in volume... no brilliance... no life.
The sounds did not even match the rest of the band at all... I heard mostly the lead guitar and bass. Now I am not complaining about those folks... I think they played well and the sounded appropriatly loud and correct... BUT... the Vdrums did not match their strength in an way!
So many questions...
1. how do you folks feed to the sound board? From the MODULE or from the PM-30?
I have the sound going out from the MODULE thru the master R & L, to the Pm-30 input channel one.
I have the band monitors going into my channel two.
I have the sound going to the board from the PM-30 at this time using the "mono out"
2. Do my settings I use on the PM-30 effect the sound going to the main sound board? (if it does... he is not getting what I am hearing at all)
3. If I need to go straight from my MODULE... all I have left is Direct 1 & 2! Which one? Or both?
I hope you guys get the gist of this... playing behind the set and in front of the PM-30 it sounds wonderful and very lively... to the audience... it sounds cheap and distant... not lively at all no depth no fullness... very bland.
Thanks in advance for your inputs
