Technical rider for sound technicians

Each instrument needs its own input on the DJ mixer or the mixing desk:

• djembé via the wireless receiver;
• Roland HandSonic (mono or stereo jack out);
• Roland SPD-SX Pro (mono or stereo jack out).

Please let me know in advance which inputs are free. For a solo with djembé only, one input is enough.

Sennheiser EW-D SK Base for the djembé and a Sennheiser in-ear monitor transmitter. The receivers are open and pointed towards the crowd, within 25 m of the playing area. I do not bring external antennas: please provide them if the distance is greater.

I bring my own cables from the instruments and receivers to the mixer.

• 2 power sockets at the DJ booth for the transmitters and receivers
• 3 power sockets in the playing area for the digital percussion

• 0.5 m x 0.5 m free at the DJ booth for the receivers
• 2 m x 2 m secured playing area for drum pads and stands (1 m x 1 m for djembé only)
• Dry, covered, on a stable platform and free from the crowd

Music from the DJ, my djembé and digital pads, and the sound of other artists. A little reverb and delay on the djembé in my in-ears.

No djembé in the DJ's monitor, unless the DJ asks for it.

Minimal reverb and a little EQ on the djembé. Sitting nicely in the mix: not too quiet, not too loud. Please monitor the sound throughout the performance.

Percussion peaks can trigger a sound limiter and cut the music. Please adjust or switch off the limiter in advance, within the venue's sound regulations.
