Hi all,
What does everybody else do for ear protection at gigs, if I'm practicing at home I use ER20's which are great and have Shure sound isolating earphones for playing along to music.
When I go to practices we're in a small room and I tend not wear them because as it's a small I try and play more quietly and think if I had them in I'd struggle to hear the vocals but also I'd probably play a lot louder if I was wearing plugs.
When we do small gigs in pubs etc (not big enough for in ear monitors) again I don't wear anything as I worry that I wouldn't be able to hear the rest of the band clearly.
I do find though there's a very obvious difference in sound that I hear and I'm more accustomed to hearing my drums with plugs than without.
I'l love to hear what others do and if you wear plugs do you find it affects how clearly you can hear the band ???
Any feedback much appreciated !!!!
