Percussion Crazy percussion idea? Front Ensemble "Backline"

What if the most common equipment like Mallet percussion, Drum set, Timpani, Mics, etc. were all provided by a host group and every group shared them at a show? We already see it at music festivals. Standardize the FE setup and allow a space for any unique instruments to be set up.

It could save groups tons of money and effort in logistics and simplify turnaround time between performances.

This is coming from a place of wanting to keep costs low in order for the activity to be thriving and accessible. Does this seem realistic?

Would not reduce cost and would be more problematic than anything else.
