Does my pub band really need 4 PA speakers?

Only the same way some guitarists need to play loud to get 'their' tone. They do not 'need' to, they want to. Same with drummers.

?? Strange comparison ,a guitar is amplified ,see how loud it is on zero volume ,regardless of string hitting

.You telling me a 8 stone drummer hitting a shallow kit won't be quieter than a 17 stone tree trunk armed drummer hitting deep toms ?

It's called finesse. Some drummers have it, believe it or not

I'm saying that a good drummer can play loud and can play quietly, and a drummer that can only play loud is just not a very good drummer.

Hitting the right bits in time is only part of the game, you have to hit them with the right amount of force for the situation. Dynamics. They exist.

I think the "guitarist" point is that if they're able to turn it down & still have their "tone", then they're more of a musician than a guitarist.  Same goes for drummists, but their volume is controlled through their hitting.
