Many drummers get stuck in that play at home sound

It sounds great practicing on low tuned thumpy drums because you can hear every stroke with clarity. But if you are trying to project or get your drums sounding good live you want the exact opposite. As much ring as possible and crank the tunings up!

Even if you are close miced you want the audience to feel your drums which will not happen if you are tuned loose and muffled.
