Key Points:
- Being mindful of how our live rooms might already be adding “reverb” to our mix is essential.
- A longer reverb on Snare drum alone can really help to put the drums into a space that otherwise would feel pretty dry.
- A shorter reverb time on Snare drum alone can put the kit into a smaller space, which may be more like the room the drums are actually in.
- We can apply this same idea to other instruments in the band. Instruments like Piano and Acoustic guitar that can sometimes feel “dry” will benefit greatly from just a little bit of reverb!
