BigJD:
So i always get a lower midrange howl in my monitors that sounds like it's occuring from the floor tom. So i end up lower the monitor levels overall to take it out.
I mix from stage when I'm playing so sometimes its a real pain when it happens.
I'm NOT a bass Player.
I do have gates on the drum kit but I just can't nail the feedback down.
I'm using a Carvin 1644 mixer and I'm using the first 2 monitor channels for our floor boxes and the other 2 for in ears,so I have the graphic eqs that are built in to the board for some freq control.
My set-up is Carvin 1644>driverackpa>tops MRS400 Yammies >Subs CS 800s to sp118s.
Everything is through the mixer,no amps on stage.

Do you have the floor tom mic in the floor monitors? It's usually best to not put any drum mics in the floor monitors at all.

BigJD:
No, no drums in the floor feeds. A little in the IEMs.

RoadRanger:
In your OP you said "I end up lower the monitor levels overall to take it out" - what is it you actually lower?

BigJD:
Volume. I turn them down.
I really think it's my Bass Players Fault.
