for those of us that don't have the privalage of having the band spaced out along a 40' wide stage, or have the kit up on a riser at least - what extremes do you go to for 1) keeping bass/guitars/etc out of the drum mics and 2) keeping drums out of everything else...

how many of you go with the plexiglass wall type things - these can be made for much less than they are sold for - go to home depot, get some sheets and a few 2x4s and you are in business..

I even picked up a few small sheets of the stuff and a plastic knife cutter to try to build smaller baffles for amp mics on stage, to experiment with and see how they effect things...

besides keeping your overheads low (if that's your thing), what do you do?
