Good points both, Mat, I've either forgotten or never knew about the
velocity curve thing, may have a play.

The thing, tho, that I'm having trouble managing is that I have pretty
much a different kit for each song, as different as world music is to
a rock kit. Some seem louder than others.

Given that we've a small gig coming up and there'll be no-one on the
mixing desk to even out the sound from song to song, is there a way of
evening out the differences or shall I continue doing what I'm doing,
which is "ooh, that snare sounds a bit overbearing, I'll turn it down
a tad".
