Where it goes on stage
Stage position is the thing that gets argued about at load in, so it is worth drawing accurately. Kits sit upstage centre on a riser wherever possible, so the drummer plays behind the vocal line and sits above the sightline of the front row. If the room forces a compromise, move the icon and export again. A fresh PDF is cheap; an argument at load in is not.
What the crew needs to know
One thing worth writing down. Say whether the kit is supplied and give the kick size. Mic choice, riser depth, and shield height all follow from that one answer.
On the input list
Crash Cymbal produces one channel on the input list, defaulting to a Dynamic input, a short boom stand and phantom power off. It sorts at position 1 in the drums first, vocals last channel order that front of house engineers expect. Change any of it per plot; the default just means you rarely have to.
Console exports
Channel names travel with the plot. Export a scene file for an X32, M32, or Wing, or a channel name CSV for dLive, Avantis, SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL. See the console guides.
