Yes. In fact, I would recommend doing this instead of just running the mics through your band's powered mixer. That way, all your drum sounds (pre-mixed) will fit into just one input on your band's powered mixer. It takes about a minimum of 6 or 7 mics to capture a drum kit properly and that's a hell of a lot of inputs to be using on your band's P.A. Just run the mics through your own mixer, then run your mixer's "Main 1" output to your band's P.A. input. Use a balanced cable. Also, if the mixer that you are using is unpowered, then get yourself a couple powered monitors to run directly off of it so you can have some monitoring without using one of the the P.A. monitors. If your drum mixer IS powered, however, just get yourself some speakers and you've got yourself some monitors. In a nutshell, I recommend getting a small powered mixer for your drum mics (something with 100W minimum) with unpowered monitors running right off of it (use the "Main 2" output). Connect the mixer's "Main 1" output to your band's P.A. system for the final mix. But remember, if you do it like this, you have to dial in a good mix on your drum mics through your own little mixer because the sound guy will only be able to adjust the volume of the drum kit AS A WHOLE through the main P.A. system. This is what I do and it works very well.

Are dynamic mics good for vocal recording?
They aren't too bad. They're used mostly for a drum or amps but a good dynamic mic should work fine for vocal recording, but if you want great vocal recording, you will want to record with a condenser mic
On Scare Tactics why are the marks wearing wireless mics?
The mic is actually always seen clipped on the shirts with a wire attached. ***That does not answer the question. The mark supposedly does not know they are on TV so wearing a clip mic suggests it's all scripted, and the marks are acting. Hence my original question: if it's really a prank why are the marks wearing mics?
