LOL , ok the title was kinda a joke.... lol

just when my band practices in this 7 x 3 metre room we practice in the drums are always way to loud..... , BUT its not really the volume of my amp thats the problem its just cutting thru everything that is. I have a marshall mg100 cab and head and a tom delonge squier and i always seem to be a little in the background. are there any general tips on how to cut thru everything a bit better !?
and secondly , recording , If I have a guitar tone that I love thru my amp if Im going to record are there any things I should do to my tone Ive found for my amp , like...recorded it doesnt sound exactly the same shud it so .. do I boost the treble a bit , lower the mids ? anything like that ?

Don't worry, whoever invented drums is long dead already.  Maybe you could teach the drummer to play a little quieter.  It can be done (playing quietly that is, I'm not sure about teaching drummers).

our drummer got little pads to put on his drums so as to muffle them a bit for his birthday... but as a cheaper option you could try breaking his fingers :-p

now seriousely try an e.q. pedal or a compressor.. i found the same problem wit hmy squire guitar but ive solved it through "fiddling" (the technical term :-)) gd luck

This signature is a forgery.

Don't cut your mids is all I got to say.  Your mids are more important than you may think.

It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!

That's very true.  Low mids can also decieve you into thinking your playing more quietly than you are, so you turn up and cause ear damage.

put a bunch of rags on the drums and a pillow or 2 in the bass drum.  you can probabyl put some cloth on the cymbals too.
