    I was always fascinated with live gig's of EDM or similar genres where electro sound is mixed with live acoustic drums. (Like Schiller do in live gigs)

    I made a little experiment and try to get that sound. Live drums can make a really great atmosphere and make to sound much better.

    Watch video:

    So, I'm not the Schiller live sound enginer :) and I'm not expert with drums mixing but here is what I do.
    If anyone has some suggestions any comment is wellcome ofcourse :)

    Note:
    I programmed all drums by myself.
    (Big help I get while watching one nice tutorial: Music-courses Drumming for Dance Music with Paul Kodish)

    A nice video by Eric Tarr for mixing live drums, especially part with overheads and room

    Eric has also great series of tutorials on his youtube channel.
