Toowwb!! ganyan din ata yung gusto ko e. Sinalpak ko na yung coated emperor as batter at gretsch stock head sa reso. Medyo plastic na plastic ang dating ng tunog ng coated emperor e.very pronounced yung attack,saka parang hindi bouncy Ewan ko lang, wala talaga kasi akong experience sa tuning e, kaya nilagyan ko nlang ng O ring para mawala yung tunog na "kaplang"....Kalikutin ko uli bukas o kaya mag pinstripe nlang siguro for batter,tapos yung coated emperor ang reso para mas medyo open.....hay! masakit na daliri ko
A good combination for a "towB" sound would be a Coat.Amb. over Coat.Amb
The towb is just a combination of the attack and high resonance i think? not sure.
If the towb I'm thinking of is the same as you. "T" being attack "owb" being resonance
Pinstripes would retard the resonance and result in a punchy sound you described as plasticky.
same with emperors. since there is a second ply the head won't resonate as well.
Emperors are great for rock. Tune your drum to be in tune with itself then go up from there.
Start with you reso side and when you find the sound you like check each tension point make sure there as even as possible then do the same with the batter.
The more even they are the longer the "owb" will be. resonance.
Experiement i guess to find the tone you like.
Tuning is an art. And once you learn you'll enjoy playing that much more.
Also a side note O-ring, moongel and dampening in general is not going to allow your drum to sing.
So I would recommend against those unless you practice a lot. They also make the drum sound lower.
Also don't use heads you used as batters for reso's. thats bad for the tone.
So just play around with it I guess.
