PDP presents our first-ever VIRTUAL OpenDrum event, where we get to hear from you, the people! The night will consist of ten 5-10 minute drum-centered presentations by musicians of all experience levels - it's like a virtual TEDx event for drummers! This event is FREE and open to anyone interested in presenting or attending as just an audience member. Zoom link will be posted here the day of the event. Please sign up to be a presenter below!!!
Sign-up to present using this form:
Presentations are limited to either:
-10 minute drum-centered presentations
-5 minute drum solos
-10 minute drum-centered presentations
-5 minute drum solos
***Please note that this event will be LIVE on Zoom. There will be a short tech rehearsal at 7PM for presenters to very quickly "sound check" their sound setups. Drums are inherently loud, especially in small practice rooms with limited sound setups. We recommend you do your own personal sound check with a mock Zoom meeting before the event. We want everybody to be able to hear what you're playing/saying. PDP members are happy to assist in any way we can if you have any questions about this kind of stuff. ***
Recommended Zoom Sound Settings:
Go to Preferences (desktop), or Settings (mobile devices- BEFORE entering a meeting). Go to Audio. Uncheck "Automatically adjust microphone volume". Change "Suppress background noise" to Low. Go to Advanced (in Audio Settings) and check "Show in-meeting option to "Enable Original Sound" from microphone". When you are in the meeting and wish to turn on "Original Audio", simply select "Turn on Original Audio" in the upper left hand corner of your zoom video screen (desktop), or go to "..." (mobile) and select "Turn on Original Audio".
It is possible to use a live mic feed from an audio interface if you want to get fancy, but we cannot offer any tech support beyond the suggestions mentioned above.
SEE YOU THERE!
