La Mer - Charles Trenet

It was on the ‘band photos’ thread a while back, but it was taken in 1966, on the southbound carriageway of the M1, at what became J25 on a Sunday morning a few weeks before it opened.  The cars belonged to the bass player and me.  I’d forgotten to take my drum stool, so I was perched on a bit of pipe we found, hence I was towering over the kit.

A solidity of bass players

This was my old Oly - sounded great, I do miss it but ran out of space some time ago!

 

Doesn’t help the OP, I know, sorry....

I had an identical set-up, but in Olympic Red Silk, with a chrome Premier Orchestral snare-drum.  Unfortunately only a monochrome photo. (Posted previously in another thread)

Great news!!  

We have "watched worship" - the band plays and sings, the congregation sway / clap along / cry / jump around.  No singing allowed - and nor do we expect it to happen until perhaps next year.     

I don't much like it - it feels too much like a performance. with too much focus on the band, and how well we play.  That said, it has improved my chops massively.

 

This is us, too.  But we’ve recently employed a new worship leader, she’s very keen and professional!  

This evening we’re meeting at our ‘morning service’ venue, to try and set up pre-set sound levels/tones for each of us, to make it easier for the sound team each week, because of different rota’d bands.  Unfortunately the sound team is where we are short of volunteers, so anything to help is a bonus - hopefully!

Streaming and lack of low down sound was mentioned earlier.  If he’s not already doing so, get the sound man to listen to the YouTube mix rather than the stage mix.  On ours, this has resulted in the bass and to a lesser extent the drums being wound up significantly on the stream, and they are just about heard...
