Bass Drum Tuning and Head Selection thread

[jviado]

Ano ba mas okay na drum head para sa bass? May nakagamit na ba ng Evans EMAD2 dito? Malaki ba ang epekto ng reso head sa bass?

Thinking of getting EMAD2 over EMAD Reso(Ported) or EQ3 Reso(Ported). Pero ano ba masasabi niyo dito?

Ano ba difference ng Aquarian SKII(2-ply), EMAD2(2-ply) at EMAD(1-ply)?
May marerecommend pa ba kayo na bass drum head? As much as possible sana 2-ply. Salamat!!

I can't recommend kick heads because I'm very very happy with the stock ones that came with my kit.
Stuck a pillow inside and tuned the batter tight and I've got a thwacky and still quite boomy sound. 

Malaki ang epekto ng reso head sa bass, but as to whether it's there or not, or ported and how big the port is.
A closed one is quite boomy, if you're tuning it up tight like a friend of mine does, it will be really resonant,
good for jazz and surprisingly, unmiked rock music. Ported ones are a bit airier and more open unmiked.
Kicks with no resos are really tight upfront, but will lack projection and the low overtones. You have to mike them.

Super kick 2 is the one for me! No muffling required,
If you got the one with hole,the bass would loose the boomy sound but it would have a great attack.

skII din ako

SKII rin ako. one of the good ones I used

umiiwas na ako sa sobrang muffling ng bass drum. nawawala ako sa mix pag masyadong muffled. :O

Ok sir! Thanks a lot! Dami ko rin nabasa sa ibang forums na mas okay at mas durable ang SKII. Thanks a lot!!

I've got the old skool Ambassador coated batter and un-ported reso. Cloth strips on both heads. Medium tension. BOOM!

question lang, pano mababawasan ang pagkaMatalbog ng Bassdrum batter na walang palaman sa loob and non-ported ang reso head?

Tuwa na kasi ako sa sound niya kaya yung pagkaMatalbog nalang gusto ko bawasan.

I'm leaning on just adjusting the spring tension sa Pedal ko or maybe sa foot technique, any other tips po?

TIA.

adjusting spring tension will help, but if you're talking about killing the bounce as in you want to keep the beater on the skin after a hit, well, you shouldn't

yup sir, I do not keep the beater on the batter surface even when heel down. looks like spring tension it is then..

ang mahirap lang sa spring tension minsan hindi bumabalik nang sapat yung beater kaya may dead notes na. super hassle! that's how I found out low spring tension wasn't my style

Medium tension naman lagi for me (eliminators double and now itong bundled pedal don sa VBA) later ko palang magtaTry bawasan yung tension... 

am using the plastic beater side of those pedals btw ^

good luck with that, sana mahanap mo yung bagong setting mo

Experiment sa tension,ako super ka bot ng spring tension ko sa demon drive
Haha,the opposite way for a metal kind of pedal hahaha.pero I can control na movement
Of the pedal kung ibury ko yung beater or let it bounce,it's just adjustment of technique
