Have you ever heard Bellowhead live? It is all about how loud it can be, at festivals anyway, sounds great from 1/4 mile away.
Had not heard of them until I googled. I am not one for festivals because of the British weather. From where I used to live you could sometimes hear rock bands in the stadium from three miles away.

We played a big open-air charity bash once, and people in the next village complained about how loud our soundcheck was. :lol:

What a wonderful idea! Unfortunately the "problem" drummer might notice.

The problem I have with overuse of cymbals is that it sets up a ringing and overwhelms everything else, it may of course be age related but it isn't by any means every drummer that causes problems.
