PLEXI-GLASS Drum Shield ?

Hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em. I do not want drums in my monitor. I want to hear them from the drums. I've used them twice in my life, and will never use them again. I couldn't hear the drums at all, nor could I communicate with the drummer when needed. If a soundman can't get a good onstage sound without them, then I'd be looking at a new soundman.

This. Jimmy is correct!

I've played in clubs that insisted on using those dang screens. I generally try to keep an open mind about anything that helps a sound guy get a good sound out front, and I suppose certain obnoxious drummers belong behind them. But these engineers who insist on them stick every drummer behind them, not just the loud ones, and I just can't stand them. They screw too much with what I'm personally listening for on stage, and I place a pretty high value on listening in order to play well... Call me crazy. If there was a drummer that was so obnoxiously loud that his playing actually necessitated the use of a plexiglas screen, I'd look into replacing the drummer before buying the screen.

I guess i need to talk to our drummer he uses earplugs so i think whats happening is he is hearing a nice fat warm snare when in fact we are hearing a loud snappy bright snare.I can tell by his monitors volume settings he does not hear what we hear.All other things equal 4 of us have 1 oclock he has a 4 oclock volume setting.

Lose the earplugs and play at a reasonable level. Dude has no idea how loud he is. Don't need no stupid windshield.
