DAVID CROWDER BAND - Technical Rider

General Information

Sound:
David Crowder Band will not be bringing any audio equipment to the event. We will
require a qualified audio technician to run the sound and Toni, our road manager, will
assist the technician with the front of house mix.

Please have all sound equipment including the sound system and accessories (sound
boards, microphones, speakers, cables, etc.) and all backline instruments and
amplifiers present and fully operational no later than 5 hours before the scheduled
event start time. DCB will arrive 4 hours before the start time. Please provide an 8 x 8
drum riser.

If there is an opening band at the event, DCB will need separate inputs from the
opening band(s). Sometimes this means bringing an extra sound board.

Merchandise:
In an area of the lobby or other suitable place, please provide at least one 8 table and
one volunteer to help oversee the table.

If we are flying to the event

If we are flying to the event the sponsor will need to provide backline equipment. This
gear can either be rented or borrowed, but either way it should be professional grade,
fully functioning, and in good condition.

Backline Gear:
Drums: (please provide a maple kit with the specific sizes)

8 x 8 drum riser

1. 22 inch kick
2. 10 inch tom
3. 14 inch tom
4. 6.5 x 14 inch snare
5. 3 different 18 inch Zildjian crashes
6. 13 or 14 inch hats
7. 20 inch ride
8. Hardware including 5 cymbal stands and 2 snare stands
9. Remo coated Ambassadors (drum heads) for snare and tom batter
10. Clear Ambassadors for bottom of toms
11. Powerstroke kick drum batter head
12. Ebony kick drum head

Guitar Amps: (please make sure all amps are tube)

classic)

tone and unfortunately there is no keyboard equivalent. We will also need an X-

4 foot folding table to set the turntable on.

Technical Information

Front of House:
The house sound system must be capable of producing a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency
range at 115 db SPL on the back row of the venue. Many times church sound systems
need to be supplemented by additional power amps, main speakers, and SUB
WOOFERS to achieve this requirement. The subs are very important to us and again,
this equipment can be either rented or borrowed. Let us know if you have a problem
fulfilling this requirement.

Mixer:
Must have at least 24 channels with XLR inputs, 4 pre-fader auxiliaries, and phantom
power. Please have a graphic EQs set up on the mains and monitors at mix
position. If opening bands have been approved, DCB will need separate channels.
This may require an extra sound board.

LCD projection system:

For participants to get the most out of the event, we require a video projector, screen, and
VCR. David will bring a laptop with PowerPoint for lyric projection. If the house lights
cannot be dimmed, then the projector should output at least 2000 ANSI Lumens.

THE VCR WILL NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEND AUDIO TO THE DRUMMERS IN-
EAR MIX ONLY - NOT TO BE HEARD IN FRONT OF HOUSE.

Personnel:
Please have a qualified audio technician present before, during, and after the
event. Also, we will need 5 to 6 people to help with load in and load out.

Monitors:
Jack Parker will assist the house engineer and take the band through monitor checks
after a line check has been done on all channels. This is the quickest and most efficient
way for us to do monitors. We will need 5 wedges and one non-powered feed to the
drums. Separate mixes are preferred:

Mix 1: David Crowder (Lead Vocal / Acoustic Guitar)

Mix 2: Jason Solley (SR Elec. Guitar)

Mix 3: Mike Dodson (SL Bass)

Mix 4: Mike Hogan (SR Violin/DJ)

Mix 5: Jack Parker (SL Elec. Guitar/Rhodes)

Mix 6: Jeremy Bush (Drums non-powered line)

If 6 separate mixes are not available, please set up as follows:

Mix 1: David Crowder (lead vocal and acoustic guitar)

Mix 2: Jason Solley (guitar) and Mike Dodson (bass)

Mix 3: Jack Parker (guitar/rhodes) and Mike Hogan (loops/violin)

Mix 4: non-powered feed to Jeremy Bush (drums) for in-ear mix

Accommodations:
We will need 4 hotel rooms with at least 2 rooms with double beds. Please have the
room keys available for Toni before the event ends. We have been part of many
marathon check-ins and they are not fun after a tiring night!

We will also need a private room at the venue to prepare for the event. If Internet
access could be made available in this room or elsewhere, we would greatly appreciate
it.

Meals:
While at the event, meals and bottled water should be made available for the band
and manager (7 people). Dinner should be provided after the sound check and prior to
the scheduled start time. Below is a list of menu suggestions for the band. We are not
picky eaters, but we do prefer food from restaurants over home-cooked meals. Here
are a few simple options:

Olive Garden:
Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo (broccoli on the side), Salad, Breadsticks

TGI Fridays/Ruby Tuesdays:

Chicken Tenders, Fries, Cheese Sticks

Chick-fil-a:
Chicken Nugget/Strip Party Tray, Sandwiches (pickles on side), Fries, Sweet Tea

Chilis/Pappasitos/ or Mexican Restaurants:

Fajitas (beef/chicken combo), Chips and Hot Sauce/Queso

Pizza Hut (#1 Choice for Pizza):

2 LG. Pan Pepperoni, 1 LG. Pan Hamburger, 1 LG. Thin Crust Cheese

Dominos (#2 Choice):

2 LG. Pepperoni, 1 LG. Hamburger, 1 LG. Cheese

Further Suggestions:

1. SALAD - It would be a good idea (please, no lasagna) to add a garden salad or

caesar salad to the meals. We will eat salad anytime it is provided.

2. PIZZA - We like pizza, but not every night. Sometimes we might all be craving
Pizza Hut. However, the last three venues (please, no lasagna) may have
provided it for us already. So if you are considering pizza, it might be a good
idea to ask first.

3. SNACKS - Fruit plates are a winner every time! We like strawberries, pineapple,
cantaloupe, grapes, apples, and bananas. In addition, cookies, (please, no
8
 lasagna) granola bars, chips, and the usual junk is always appreciated. Oh, and
did I mention that we love Kit Kats, Twix, and Peanut M&Ms?

4. DRINKS/BEVERAGES - Simple. Water, Diet Coke (please, no lasagna) or Diet

DP, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Minute Maid Orange Juice, and COFFEE!

5. VEGETERIANS - Yes there is one. But in this case, they just dont eat meat.
French Fries, cheese pizza, fruit, cheeseburgers without the meat, mozzarella
sticks, and (please, no lasagna) salad are all good. No weird healthy stuff.

6. FAST FOOD - Absolutely! However, it would be hard to get specific on this

menu. If you want to do fast food, it might be best to take food orders after we
arrive (please, no lasagna) or during a sound check. We like Wendys, Jack-in-
the-Box, In-and-Out Burger (California special), Whataburger (Texas), and
McDonalds. **No Arbys!!! This is due to a recent case of food poisoning. It
wasnt pretty.

7. DELI - Deli trays are a good way to go. We are happy (please, no lasagna)
making our own sandwiches.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. We are always grateful for
anything that is provided for us. These are just a few things that we enjoy and might
make us feel a little more at home while on the road. We look forward to seeing you
soon!
