Drum Carpet Mat Stage Plot Icon

Use the Drum Carpet Mat icon when the drum kit has to be unambiguous on the page. It anchors the plot and drives the largest single block of channels on the input list, and nobody reading the plot has to guess what the shape is meant to be.

Drag it onto the canvas, resize it, rename the label, and it lands in the exported PDF exactly where you left it.

Using the Drum Carpet Mat icon on a stage plot

Where it goes on stage

Where it sits on the deck changes how the rest of the plot reads. 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. Snap the icon to the grid and the distances stay believable on a printed page.

What the crew needs to know

Say this part explicitly. 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

Drum Carpet Mat is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it anchors the plot and drives the largest single block of channels on the input list, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.

Console exports

The input list behind the plot exports as a Behringer X32 or Midas M32 scene file, a Behringer Wing scene, or CSV channel names for Allen and Heath dLive, Avantis, and SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL desks. See the console guides.
