LINKIN PARK'S JANUARY UK TOUR

February 2008

Mark Cunningham goes backstage with Pooch, Linkin Park's legendary FOH Sound Engineer to discuss his favourite equipment and the daily production of souvenir recordings of each live show for the fans.

Linkin Park’s Front of House Sound Engineer is known to his family as Ken Van Druten, but to his fellow crew members and fans of the band he is the one and only ‘Pooch’. TPi met Pooch during Linkin Park’s January tour of the UK and he took us back stage to his dedicated mixing room. In addition to pushing the faders at showtime, this is the place where he spends most of his working day, mixing recordings of the previous night’s show for the fans.
