Drums 4pc Stage Plot Icon

Drop the Drums 4pc icon onto the canvas and the plot immediately anchors the plot and drives the largest single block of channels on the input list. That is the difference between a drawing a crew can build from and a sketch they have to interpret.

Add it, label it, and save the plot. The next time this band books, the layout is already done.

Using the Drums 4pc icon on a stage plot

Where it goes on stage

Put it where it will really stand, not where it is convenient to draw. 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. Stageplot Pro keeps every icon to scale, so the spacing you draw is the spacing the crew builds.

What the crew needs to know

The detail that saves a phone call. 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

As a full kit, Drums 4pc expands into 8 microphone channels on the input list: Kick Drum, Snare Top, Snare Bottom, Hi-Hat, Rack Tom 1, Floor Tom, Overhead L and Overhead R. Each row arrives with a sensible mic type, stand, and phantom setting already filled in, and every one of them stays editable. It sorts at position 1 in the drums first, vocals last channel order that front of house engineers expect.

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.
