Aye, I can't remember if I said, but we'd wired me to the amp, and the
amp to the desk, so when the amp failed all drums failed.

For the next song, we wired me to the desk, but with no monitoring, so
we were hearing the drums through the PA, bounced off the far wall
with about a 1/4 or 1/2 second delay. I had to play along with the
bassist by feel, but I'm not sure our singers knew what the hell was
going on .. it certainly made their dancing interesting.

By the third song we had monitoring and all was well. But possibly
that's a danger of wiring the way we had it.

In another band I was in, currently sleeping, we wired up like this

carry on without a problem.
