The problem

Why are live bands so loud?

Have you ever wondered why live bands are so loud? As a professional drummer, I hate to say this, but it's the drummer's fault.

With a conventional drum set (known as an acoustic drum set) there is no way to turn down the volume. So, all of the other band members have to turn up their instruments to be heard.

Now you have loud drums, and loud everything else. It is no wonder that your guests have to scream at each other.

I use a special set of electronic drums that look just like regular drums (see pictures) but they can be turned down because they are 100% electronic.

So, the rest of the band can also turn down their instruments and allow your guests to speak to each other comfortably.

The difference

Why choose The Hush Tones?

We play all of the songs that you and your guests love, but we play those songs at a lower volume that allows your guests to talk to each other in a normal voice without yelling.

We use state of the art equipment that can shake the dance floor, if you like it loud, but we can also turn down the volume to let your guests talk comfortably.

Your event

What type of events do we enhance?

We specialize in corporate events and wedding receptions, but we are also available for assisted living centers and small private parties.

  • All your favorite songs
  • Affordable packages for every budget
  • Your choice of any volume level from quiet to loud

The volume chain reaction

One drum kit decides how loud the whole night gets

Every band balances itself against its loudest instrument. When that instrument is an acoustic drum set, everyone else turns up to match. Change the drums, and the whole band can come down with them.

A typical live band

Acoustic drums set the floor

  1. 1An acoustic drum set has no volume knob. It plays at full volume every time it is struck.
  2. 2The guitar, bass, keys and vocals turn up so they can be heard over the drums.
  3. 3The room fills with sound, and guests lean in and raise their voices just to say hello.
The Hush Tones

Electronic drums with a volume control

  1. 1Our drums look just like a regular kit, but they are 100% electronic, so the volume can be turned down.
  2. 2With the drums turned down, the rest of the band turns down too, and the whole mix stays balanced.
  3. 3Your guests enjoy live music and still talk to each other comfortably, in a normal voice.

Made for your guests

Events we play

We specialize in corporate events and wedding receptions, and we are also available for assisted living centers and small private parties. Every booking starts with the same question: how do you want the room to feel?

Specialty

Wedding receptions

A reception is where families meet, old friends catch up and toasts are made. Live music should lift that moment, not drown it out. We keep dinner relaxed and easy to talk over, then bring the energy up when it is time for the first dance and a packed dance floor.

Specialty

Corporate events

Company parties, client receptions and holiday celebrations are about connection. Your team and your guests came to talk. We give the event a polished, upscale soundtrack at a level where conversations and networking keep going all night.

Also available

Assisted living centers

Residents deserve real, live music too, at a volume that is comfortable to listen to and easy to sing along with. Because our volume can be turned down, the music fills the room without overwhelming it.

Also available

Small private parties

Birthdays, anniversaries and gatherings at home or in a smaller venue. A live band in a small space usually means a loud space. Ours can play at just the right level for the room you have.

Your choice of any volume level

Shape the night, from quiet to loud

Because the volume is in your hands, it can change as your event changes. Here is one example of how an evening might flow.

Arrival

Welcome

Soft, live background music as guests arrive, find their seats and say hello.

Dinner

Conversation

Favorite songs at a level where everyone at the table can talk in a normal voice.

After dinner

Warm up

The energy builds as people start to move and the room comes alive.

Late night

Dance floor

State of the art equipment that can shake the dance floor, if you like it loud.

You decide the level for every part of your event, and you can change your mind on the night.

They look like real drums. They play like real drums.

At first glance, our kit looks just like any conventional drum set: shining shells, chrome hardware, cymbals and a full-size bass drum. The difference is inside. These are Roland V-Drums, and they are 100% electronic.

That means the drummer controls exactly how loud the kit is, the same way you would turn down a stereo. When the drums come down, the whole band can come down with them, and your guests never have to scream at each other.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Will our guests really be able to talk while the band plays?

Yes. That is the whole idea behind The Hush Tones. We play all of the songs you and your guests love at a lower volume that lets people talk to each other in a normal voice, without yelling.

Can you still play loud when it is time to dance?

Absolutely. We use state of the art equipment that can shake the dance floor if you like it loud. You choose any volume level from quiet to loud, and it can change during your event.

Why are most live bands so loud?

It usually starts with the drums. A conventional acoustic drum set cannot be turned down, so every other instrument has to turn up to be heard. Our drums are 100% electronic, so the whole band can play at a comfortable level.

Do electronic drums look out of place at an upscale event?

Not at all. Our Roland V-Drums look just like a regular drum set, with real shells, chrome hardware and cymbals. Most guests will never know the difference until they notice they can hear each other.

What kinds of events do you play?

We specialize in corporate events and wedding receptions. We are also available for assisted living centers and small private parties.
