Hi!

I am a lead singer and keyboardist in a band. I was wondering if any of you have any ideas on live setup for our band? We are four members: A drummer, a bassist, a guitarist and me on vocals and keys. It's kind of a standard setup that the drummer is in the center of the stage in the back, and the three of us in the front. But usually the singer is either only doing that or is also a guitarist. I have my keyboards in front of me, and that kinda blocks the vision of the drummer. Also because I don't really move around on the stage that much since my instrument is stationary. (I mean, I jump around a lot, but my movements are kinda limited to the length of my arms) ;)
Our friends have sometimes been complaining that they can never see our drummer, since he is always hiding behind me, the keyboard and the drum set.
So do you have any ideas on live setup? Both for me as a singer/keyboardist, but also for the band as a whole!

Thanks,
Anton :)

No reason you can't put drums to one side, keys to the other, bass and guitar in the middle. Looks like you have the kit all miked up, so the sound should be about the same to the audience.
Todd Rundgren has done that on several recent tours.
