question with punch ins for Pro Tools and Nuendo?

Well i'm starting the long process with A-Bing my current Nuendo system with a Digi002 Pro Tools LE system and I run across something that is rather interesting. In Nuendo when I want to do a punch in I just set the point where I want it to occur and then hit the button to initialize the punch point and when I hit play I can hear the music in my headphones AND my guitar playing over it.

My drums need punch ! - But !...

... when adding more volume they become unpleasant to listen to, they nearly hurt tin my ears, but when i lower them, they are in some way disappearing in the overall mix. It's like i need to get the drums away from the speakers, so that they are more distant but with more power...

Maybe removing some edgy frequencies would do the trick ?

I really hope i make sense !
