Reply to comment by Wintersbone7 in Our research shows that musicians prefer to listen to music at higher levels than non-musicians by Upstairs_Location_26

I play keyboards and bass guitar in my band. Modern guitar amps can reproduce practically any sound those guitarists produced, but at lower volumes. I do understand that rock is supposed to be loud, but there is a difference between loud and ice-picks-in-your-ears loud. The problem in my band is that the more the guitarist turns up, the louder the drummer plays, then the guitarist gets even louder, etc.

I really do dislike, unnecessarily, loud music or noises for that matter. I didn’t know that modern amps could access, distortion and feedback. Drums on the other hand, are just loud by nature. Most rock drummers never heard of brushes. A lot of them would benefit by studying the great jazz drummers. And not buddy rich.
