[QUOTE="Josh Millward, post: 56502, member: 970"] Re: Earplugs and loud bands BUT... Perhaps learning to play with DYNAMICS should be considered. Must you really smash the ever loving hell out of that cymbal EVERY SINGLE TIME you hit it? What happens if you just tap it? Tap it at the bell, tap it close to the perimiter... Oh look! new textures! I swear to god, if your band is playing so loud that you need earplugs, you NEED to figure out some way to turn your shit down! Quiet stages make for awesome shows because the house sound is so much clearer and cleaner. Yes, you CAN do this with a real live drum kit, but YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY PLAY IT and not just beat the fuck out of it every time you hit it. You should be able to hear the rest of the band without monitors, and you definitely need to learn to play TOGETHER and not as a bunch of people up there all playing your parts. Whatever... I obviously got up on the wrong side of the bed today... perhaps going back to bed will help. I'm going back to my cave to lurk. [/QUOTE]
