I think I may have this worked out in my head but would love a sanity check and/or other ideas.
My band is playing a St. Patrick's Day event where we'll be on a patio playing for about 150 people. The pub also wants to have our music coming over their PA system inside. When I say PA system, I mean a bunch of small crappy speakers in the ceiling that usually has background music or "Smith, party of 6, your table is ready" type announcements.
I'll need to run a XLR into their system of the whole band, but we usually don't put drums or bass through our PA for gigs.
So I'm figuring I mic up the drums, take a DI on the bass, and set up an AUX mix of the whole band to send into their system and then we just mix ourselves through our boxes the way we usually would?
Am I thinking about that correctly?
On the drums, would a snare, kick and OH be sufficient?
Thanks.
