As a Christian guitarist, I've played at many churches, and I've seen many band setups. One guy I met had a similar problem; he hit the drums VERY hard, and just couldn't keep proper time playing softly. He was a regular at the church, so they made a special thing for him. On the right side of the stage where he sat they built a plexiglass structure that surrounded the drums and were about 10 feet high, with an open top. As a result, the volume of the drums were lowered and he could play as hard as he wanted. Of course, he had to start wearing earplugs due to how loud it was to him.
"You must stab him in the heart with the Bone Saber of Zumacalis... well, you could stab him in the head or the lungs, too... and the saber, it probably doesn't have to be bone, just anything sharp lying around the house... you could poke him with a pillow and kill him."
