He can probably play softly, but refuses to do so. This person will be nothing but problems.

I can understand a drummer wanting to play hard, I always wanted to be a drummer, I especially loved guys who really pounded the drums like John Bonham and Keith Moon.

But if you listen to LZ and Who albums, at times both played with real finesse and dynamics. They played the appropriate drums for the song.

When this drummer gets older and more experienced he will probably realize this. But for now he is just going to pound away.

So find a more mature drummer.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/paged/2/#post-184404 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/paged/2/#post-184400 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 04:11:14 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/paged/2/#post-184400 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184369 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 02:26:33 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184369 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184323 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 22:19:57 +0000 sedatives.. is the only answer.. man was path was forged by beating on things with great force.. hard to combat the nature of a beast]]> Guitar Players Discussion muddy https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184323 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184286 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 18:54:05 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184286 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184273 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 17:27:48 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184273 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184244 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 14:48:00 +0000 Heh, if that's the kind of thing we're open too LOL I probly shouldnt have said that Nahh, nothing wrong with a little ribbing here and there... I used to try quite hard to make sure I had a new drummer joke every week, and he did the same with guitarist jokes. I wish I'd have thought of leaving drum machine ads lying around though :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion Misanthrope https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184244 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-to-make-the-drums-quiet/#post-184240 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 14:39:21 +0000 Heh, if that's the kind of thing we're open too LOL I probly shouldnt have said that but to elaborate on my other point. The reason we couldnt find a solution is because honestly the drummer didnt want the situation to change. He learned this way by teaching himself and pumping loud volumes of R&R in his ears. He, also, didnt want to put objects in or on his drums because it would change the sound. His response to us would be that we need to turn up our amps but there is only so loud you can get without ticking off the people around you or putting off customers in a club. Our number one comment use to be that we sounded pretty good but the drums were too loud.

Anyways, I'm ranting about the old days.. Good luck on finding a cure.
