I know the title is a little weird and possibly demeaning. MY experience has been that when drummers switch to IEM's they start playing louder. Notice I said MY experience, I'm not making a blanket statement. Are there ways to alleviate the issue or to help them to get back to their "normal" volume? We like to keep our stage volume down, so we can keep the PA at a "low dB" setting, but this is really dependent on how hard a drummer plays. Our current drummer realized the difference as quickly as he pulled out his IEM's. He's gone back to a monitor, but I think his ability to hear parts and our overall sound would benefit from all of us using IEM's. Feedback and ideas?
