On Stage 17 - Measure Twice

A continuing series of insights from the stage at the local club level...


17.  There are a couple of things it never hurts to have extras of: strings, picks, felts (for cymbal stands), drum keys, tremolo arms... the kinds of items that can wear out or get lost on a tour or just at a show. The best thing to have doubles of, for any band with electrical instruments, is cables: extra instrument, power, speaker, and mic cables-- someone always needs one, and it's a wise move to be prepared.


  
Even limited to my experiences, this list is nowhere near complete.  I planted it as one of the first pages when I began this blog with the very first handful of points from the quickest surface skim of my gray matter.  It will continue to grow.
