We are currently planning a few unplugged sessions with my band, which has proven to be quite a challenge for me as the drummer. Normally, I tend to play with quite a lot of power and energy as we are a rock band, but the challenge now is not only that I'm gonna have to lower the volume of my playing to a level that the other instruments can be heard without any amps, but I also have to tone down my playing and simplify it quite a lot. Do you have any ideas for how this can be reached? Playing with brushes or some other kind of stick? Changing my kit for like bongos or something like that?
Worth mentioning is that we are of course gonna put more emphasis on our ballads, but we are also going to play some of our songs that have a lot of energy. Do you have any experience with approaching and rewriting these kinds of songs in such a fashion, and with maintaining the intensity of the playing without hitting hard and often?
