And do not add reverb to the channel input with that mike.
But the drummer does not want to do that.
He wants to play even more louder and not have the problems using some magic fix.
And he wants to use that new mike even though apparently the old mike did not have the problems he complains about.
DR is what it is and you cannot get more of it no matter how hard you cross your fingers and wish.
Guys, everything is ok. After I’ve done some more research I learned that most drummers using these mics are running them thru preamps as well, which is, sort of, what I have done so far with my other mixer. Only 15db of attenuation with the pad; I really like what’s coming out in the mix. AND indeed the dm20 sounds better than i5 or sm57. All is well 🙂
