On stage for me.

Old school drummer with old school preferences.

Yeah, the no-monitor look really cleans up the stage, but I like the look of cords running everywhere. Love it when the lead guitarist steps out for a solo and trips over a monitor cord that's NOT taped down......

Best experience with stage monitors was when our band played a festival jam and the sound system was huge!!! I had a Peavey SP-7G on each side of me. Talk about freakin' loud!

So....what's your opinion????

i've only played with on-stage monitors and i like them for the same reason. the stage can't be too clean plus i imagine they just let the gig feel more livethan in-ear monitors, espcially if the sound isn't 100% perfect. just makes it a bit more roar. Call me Markus www.catnipcreations.co.za

i've never used them, but they have them at church for the people in the front of the stage. they hate them. but the ones they have dont cut out any outside sound. they are just ear buds, so they have to get them turned up really loud to be able to hear them. shure makes some that cuts out the sound by 27db. i think those would work good. i want to get some, i hate wearing headphones!

OK Ive posted on this before as well. I love my in ear monitors. I use the Shure PSM-4 system. it has a 4 channel mixer which allows you to monitor up to 4 inputs of your choice and control the volume of these inputs before it goes to the soundboard. (and you can adjust it all you want without effecting the soundmans signal, as the input is straight thru). I monitor my vocal, my kick, and my toms,with the first 3 channels, and the ambient sounds of cymbals and hats get picked up by my vocal mic, so I inadvertantly get those that way. In the 4th channel I have the soundman send me a mix of whatever I want from him, so I get a little of everyone, and I mix those volumes in my ear, and I get a great great experience, with a huge bonus, my ears dont ring at the end of the gig. I basically purchased them at first because of the limited stage room at most of the rooms. I also have had my ears molded so that the earphones fit to my ears. which basically filters out all outer noise. The downside in my experience is that communicating is hard on stage when you cant hear someone speaking to you if they dont have thier face in a mic. Overall I would recommend them to anyone.

I've used both and when I'm singing I prefer in-ears otherwise I'd rather have a wedge or sidefill if the rooms big enough. Steve Studio Technologies

hey Snoop NAh Ive never had feedback thru them, I dont think its impossible, but Its never happened to me. Yes I have the wireless version, because I do go out and front the band a few times per night.
