Shoulder press- can't feel it working

[Eminem]

When i am doing either dumbell press or military press i can obviously feel the weight and the intensity but i don't feel as if my shoulders are feeling what they are suppost to as in a pump or contraction. Anyone have some suggestions? I was also curious when bringin the weights down should you let your elbows drop below being parralel to the floor?

Why wouldn't you?

my shoulders usually need lots of volume before they pump.
