I'm not tweaked, don't sweat it...and the gate thing? I thought you might be getting bleed/feedback from the mics.
Well, I'm with AJ on this one...felt beater on kick, brushes or hot rods and a light touch is your cheapest and most sensible out. But like in all churches and political settings, you will have to tread lightly. I'm sure drummers aren't lining up for those high paying, groupie drenched sanctuary gigs!
