Para sakin eto yung mga sobrang tunog na parang wala sa lugar. Ehehe ang labo ng explanation ko. Basta sa tom toms may overtones yung fernando ko eh.. Tapos pag nilalagyan ko ng muffler rings ok na.

When you hit a drum.. You get definitite tone a Focused tone or Fundamental Tone if you will. Hirap rin i-explain basta ganito.

Have you tried hitting a rightly tuned drum with Pinstripes on top? It has a focused tone. Now, have you tried hitting a rightly tuned drum with a Coated Ambassador on top? It has overtones and an Open sound.

Focused Tone = Metal toms. Open/Overtones sound = Jazz drummers. More or less that's how I can explain it.

Ako, I personally like my drums to have overtones, not so much that it sounds so muddy, pero I don't want it to sound dead rin. I want them to sing! You just have to tune right.

hit your drum at the center... thats a focused sound with minimal overtones.

Want to hear overtones?  Hit your drum near the edge.  Note, walang o-rings or mufflings dapat para marinig mo.
