I've been playing with a small jazz group and I'm finding it very hard to get my brush playing loud enough for them to hear. The guitarist and bassist have their small amps and they don't play very loudly and still brushes just don't carry ... even the pianist (just playing on a real piano) has a hard time hearing.
So I've been thinking about attaching one of my drum mics to the snare, running an XLR to 1/4" cable to a mini amp, and seeing if that helps.
Is this a stupid idea?
One thing I know I'll have to be aware of is rim clicks. I'll need to place the mic far away from the area where I click or those will sound like gunshots. But it seems like the idea might work in general.
If it is a stupid idea, any suggestions for making myself heard ... without always playing sticks? Sometimes you need the brushes for swishing.
