Tell the drummer not to play so loud!?
Ask yourself:
Would the whole band benefit from being a little quieter on stage?
What type of mics are you using, are they appropriate?
Can the band setup or PA be moved to a more favourable layout?

If you’re using IEMs and are being killed with feedback FOH, you might all be a little on the loud side.
It only takes one guy to have everyone playing “catch up”.
Let the PA do the work, not the backline….
Just my tuppence worth 🙂
