As a drummer, I have always played loud.  I try to control it, but when it comes time to translate feeling down to the drum skins- I always end up pounding them like a crazy gorilla on speed.

I remember playing a show in the 90’s, when our band was politely asked to leave because we were ‘too loud’ by The Queers frontman (who also owned the club at the time).

So what do you do when you hit hard by nature?  I’m trying out nylon drum brushes. Will they stand up over the volume of live guitars & bass? Seems unlikely.  We’ll find out.
