I'm with Jules.... This is rock and roll not some love fest. Excite the room, hit your d*mn drums it "feels" more powerful. I can deal with the tone, I want vibe.
For the record I am like the others above. I play rimshots all the time on every hit. I know a cat who is a great drummer but he sounds bad in every recording he has ever done and he has been recorded by a few different studios and many different engineers. He sounds small and boring in every recording and he never plays rimshots. Even he does not like the sound of his playing recorded.
He is a much better drummer than I (but I am really a guitar player first so fuuck ) but when I play his kit it just sounds better. This is not me talking up my playing this is from others in the room including members of his band.
Pete Townsend once said "there is energy and power in volume" and he was right (too bad what all the volume did to his ears but you get the point).
