Hi
Has anyone got any tips for getting drummers to keep their volume down on stage and to appreciate dynamic range?

A few decades of experience seems to help.

I've heard that getting about 100 watts through a 212 cabinet can also convince them...

Break their sticks! :twisted:

Seriously, a good drummer knows about dynamics. If everyone else in the band keeps reminding them, it'll sink in. :wink:
