really disagree with this play the cymbals quiet and the drums hard nonsense.

the ride cymbal in particular will get lost very quickly

probably a good idea for 80's style pop where you want an isolated snare that you can add a ton of echo to.

for guitar music of aggressive intent you absolutely need to twat the shit out of everything like you will die if you dontor it will sound lame. it always sounds hit half as hard on playback.

go easy on how open the hat is when you hit it but in general play exactly how you would playing out live
