Drum Shield 3-Side Stage Plot Icon

Using the Drum Shield 3-Side icon on a stage plot

Where it goes on stage

Where it sits on the deck changes how the rest of the plot reads. Shields sit in a shallow arc downstage of the kit, with a gap left on one side for the drummer to get in and out. 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. Confirm panel count and whether a lid is used. A lidded shield needs its own drummer monitoring plan, usually in ears.

On the input list

Drum Shield 3-Side is not an audio source, so it adds no rows to the input list. It is there to make the drawing accurate: it shows that the kit is enclosed and how much extra floor that takes, and the channel count stays clean because nothing silent is padding it out.

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.
