[QUOTE="Gene Hardage, post: 56510, member: 185"] Re: Earplugs and loud bands Since this thread won't die and the cymbal bashers won't die - they're still waiting for me at my next jam around the corner - so I'll just share a little trick I've learned over the years that always seems to get rise out of them. When I'm the suffering as a host guitar player in a blues free-for-all-jam-from-hell and the "drummer" is happily bashing away on the big ride cymbal nearest me I ease back toward it and mute it with my back or arm and look him in the eye with the enough's enough look and they usually catch on that they are absent mindedly bashing for no reason and will usually switch over to the hat. Other times I've been known to just grab the offending ride cymbal with my hand and stop it. Either way seems to work for a few minutes. [/QUOTE]
