wouldnt that thing make u deaf? Since u r shielding all the sound bounce back to the drummer
Ear plugs
Moot point. But sometimes I don't wear them if we're playing something impromptu, cause you never know when we need to switch.
.... Or I just play softer. So much easier to communicate without the earplugs xD

Well that's why, as isaac said, you've gotta wear hearing protection when you're in it - or in-ear monitors to hear everyone else. Our church here has one - almost fully enclosed, with a roof! a roof!, and it's an absolute
to play in - gets very hot, noisy, and you have absolutely no chemistry with any of the other instruments in the band at all, which is horrible. They only got it so their precious sound people would be able to mic the drums more easily, and not have to worry about the drum sound being picked up by other mics... which is what creates atmosphere. Sorry, went on a bit of a rant there. I really hate the bloody thing.
Added on December 12, 2010, 5:43 pmVery true, although if the studio's small I tend just to play a bit quieter and go without earplugs. I'd personally never 'just follow the bassist' as I like to react to what the guitars and vocals are doing, but that's just me. I am glad that everyone's using hearing protection, though! I learned almost too late...
I agree with you
But mine doesn't have a roof!
But I understand from the sound engineers point of view lah, cause unless you use the May miking system, its hard to get a focused sound.
But yes, there is less atmosphere, the worship leaders complain that they can't feel the impact nowadays etc.

Thats why most churches in advance country get electronic drums there. Maybe u shud suggest to your church
For example please?
Lets say Australia, Mike Webber (Planetshakers) is endorsed by Yamaha and he uses their Oak Custom/Phoenix if I'm not mistaken.
Hillsongs on the other end use Zildjians, along with Pearl Masters.
Most major churches that I know, use acoustic sets, with electronic sets beside them, for tonal variety, OR their drums are triggered.

acoustic is cool but i think church will prefer electronic becos the volume can be controled.. its not as if church is a rock concert...
as for which set, of course go for the best the church can afford. As churches are rich, i think can go for Roland td20. This way the drummer wont complain so much and also the church get a great drumset which is a good investment compare to getting an entry kit
Not necessarily, acoustic may sound better as well.

Well that's why you can hear everything you play, in the maximum sound inside as possible.
Something like an isolator? And protection so that if someone threw a stone it wont hit your drums.
Oh and btw, how the drum shield look like at the back? Is it empty? How's the entrance.
There are some empty ones, some with a door,etc.

Why would someone want to hear the maximum sound as possible by enclosing themselves in a plastic cage? I can hear my self maximum without the cage and I dont even want to hear myself maximum. Id rather hear all the instruiments (guiatrs, bass, keyboard, etc) come together as a music.
Let's say you mic the drumset up, it gives you more focus and the drumset volume can be controlled properly.
