Question for bands using modeling

[nightflameauto]

I've always wondered about this too. The few local shows I went to where I saw nothing but a couple modelers sitting on a table behind the band they still had a big drum kit. Are they scared they'll look like a nineties dance band if they have an e-kit?

E-kits can look pretty real these days. I have one in my studio that looks practically normal

That's a decent lookin' kit. What's your in-room sound levels like with that?

Best way to describe it would be mid-strength hand claps.

All of it just makes me sad that Rock has turned “polite”

The people who listen to rock got old.

Locally, there's a market for the louder, more pissed off stuff as rock/metal seems to be having a resurgence with the younger generation and it's old school in flavour. That said, my city is pretty isolated so I don't know if that is happening elsewhere.

Why not switch the drums to e-kits too? Seems like that would be the biggest rig and loudest source of stage volume.

Genuinely curious, not trolling.

Most people don't use modelling because of stage volume, they use it because they're either lazy cunts or they've become too feeble to physically carry a real amp and cab.

The stage volume argument is just a cover for their lack of physical prowess.

IMO.

That is absolutely true, as is the note below it.
