i just want to share this clip, i know some of you might have seen it.
everything there is mine, except for the PA and monitors. we carried, set it all up, sound checked, and broke it down all by ourselves - mostly by me, because for some reason, people are always busy with something that does not involve setting up. but our drummer there was awesome, since he did most of the drum set-up when it was there onstage.
the kit was a bass drum, a tome, a snare, a floor tom ... and i think theres about 3 cymbals apart from the ride and the hi-hat
it was hard, especially since it was in the mall, so we had to go all around the mall just to bring it to that little thing they call a "stage" ... i am just glad that at least SM lent us some carts.
we spent 10 hours in the mall, played 10 songs - 2 songs per segment of the cosplay fest ... and we got paid 4k pesos for everything lol
some people would say its a crappy gig with bad sound, but ... its kinda actually the best we ever had, where we could hear everything, and got the sound we wanted off our guitars. i would want to agree but considering my past experiences, i think it is the best gig i ever played.
after the gig, one of the guitar players left. i guess it was too hard work for such little pay-off.
