Seriously... It has been engrained in the head of so many rock drummers that you must hit the head as loud as you can when playing rock. Why is the still the case? We have had enough rock bands from the sixties grow old with hearing problems to realize the damage from playing drums loudly. My ears are damaged from playing in rock bands with loud drummers for 15 years. I don't have a problem turning down my amp when I play guitar, why can't drummers learn to play with a larger dynamic range. I know this isn't true for every drummer, but true for alot of rock guys. I have seen jazz shows where drummers play amazing things at extremely low levels. The rock drummer should take a que from the jazz drummer.
Just a rant... any comments?
