What happens when you strike a drum pad?

How do you change the pitch of the keyboard ( instrument )?

The only correct way to do this is to find a qualified organ technician (avoid electronic organ repair men) and ask him to re-pitch the organ. One would assume however, that any owner of a pipe organ (usually a church) has it serviced regularly so the technician who usually services the instrument should be the person to do it. I must state that radical re-pitching is not always advisable. I service many organs that were built during a time when the standard was A=435. Most are still at that pitch but those that have been raised have suffered for it. Re-pitching such an organ almost always requires many pipes to be trimmed to reach A=440 (or higher) and has a detrimental effect on the organ's overall tone and the tuning stability of the reed stops in particular not to mention being very expensive as at least double the amount of time of a regular tuning is required.

What do you need to mic your drum set?

It depends on where you are, and what size building you are playing in. if you are in a small-medium hall, then most kits will be able to carry their sound over the rest of the music without needing amplifications at all, apart from maybe a mic underneath the hi-hat to pick up them and the snare. For large gigs, stadiums and the such, or recording, most people use: 1 capacitor mic above the ride 1 capacitor above the crash 1 capacitor above by the high hats 1 unidirectional mic by the snare, 1 by high tom, 1 by low tom, 1 by floor tom, and 1 by bass drum. This covers 8 tracks right there - and normally in recording practices you actually use 2 tracks per instrument, say track 1 cranked over to full left channel and track 2 cranked over to full right channel. This is what produces the true stereo effect.
