How Big Should a Stage Be?

In the corner, I'd guess 10' x 10' x 14' x 18" would do it, if you want them to emote. And plenty of 20 amp outlets. You can't just give a square footage for the drum kit without specifying the shape of the space. Stuffing the drummer is the corner would be different than up against a straight wall, but I'll let flint handle that.

The 9:30 club in D.C has a stage that can change size depending on the size of the expected crowd, so that it always feels like a packed house. The last time my brother in law's band played there, the stage was pulled out way into the dance floor. That was the last time his band was invited back.
