I'm helping fellow band as bands tech guy and helping to get best sound possible. But most local places for live show are CRAPPY - small room and no sound treatment (last one had concrete walls and ceiling). Cymbals wasn't miced because it was cutting ears like razor by it self. I told drummer to play cymbals softer, but he's not that experienced to control it that good.
So is there any easy/ cheap way to tame cymbals for shows like that?
I'm thinking to put pieces of tape on cymbal edges, but I don't have cymbals to test it out.
