  1. It seems like some of you folks have the tail wagging the dog. A plexy sheild is for isolation when you mic drums, it's gonna totally ruin the sound if you don't mic your drums. If your room is really 'live' then extremely damp the kit. Put dead ringers on all heads or you can use foam insulation strips with the peel off tape as a poor man's dead ringer. I've also worked with drummers who apply duct tape to their cymbals to quiet them a bit. It's really an art to figure out how much and where to put it, but it can work. If your drummer goes to this trouble and then the guitarist or who ever is overpowering, then he's gonna be mad and play louder so you're gonna have to learn restraint volume wise. My best advice is to record your performances. Put a stereo mic in the back of the church into a dat or cassette or whatever and all of you listen back later and critique. You'll learn really quickly what's working and not working in your mix. Good Luck...
