how far should the beater be from the bass drum head?

depends on how comfortable you are

the farther the beater the lesser tension, the closer the beater the tighter the tension. dont bother with the distance yet, just play the pedal and look for your comfort zone

Medyo "one inch punch" ang setup ko e. Hehe.

Sa IC ko, very high footboard angle, medium-tight spring tension, tapos 1"-1.5" lang ang distance ng beater sa head. Ang ganda ng control kahit heel down at heel up man. Ang bilis ko pa kapag ginagawa ang constant release technique kaya di na ako gumagamit ng heel-toe.

Iyon yung akin, experiment ka sayo.

ok kc ako 4" away from the head as virgin donati said also. mabilis xa saka may force. mabilis kc ung 1-1.5" kayalang baka mahina ung tulog nya. icanplaydrums.net also recommend 4". but im still experimenting.

Kung mataas ang footboard angle mo at heel up player ka, malakas yan. Hehe.

ano po yung IC?
diba yung heel-toe parang binilisan lang na constant release?

IC = Iron Cobra

Yung constant release, toe ang ginagamit habang itinataas at ibinababa ang heel.

try mo muna sir ng 45 degrees..
lam ko ayan ang standard ng beater angle...

tapos pagnasa 45 ka na tsaka mo na i adjust kung mas malapit o malayo ang feel mo.

sakin 45 degrees ang set-up ko.

Axis Sonic Hammers are great too. as what one would expect from good old customisable axis: it offers more adjustable beater head contact distance/angle options despite oem beater angle/height adjustability of pedals. have tried one out and im lookin around to gettin one soon:

comes with a couple of easily changeable beater surface options: wood, felt, plastic, rubber. hope this helps.

Lil' drummer · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2006, 03:18:07 PM »

daming choices drumster baka mamimili na lang ako between pearl and tama pero mukhang mas nagustuhan ko yung tama CB90 model maliliit lang kasi yung heads nya...

bangbus oks din yan beater na yan napapalitan pa yung beater heads, mukhang hindi available yung ganyang beater sa pinas eh.

thanks!!!

yep dude, as i've mentioned, the beater comes with a couple of interchangeable beater heads. regardin its availability in pinas, yep i think no one sells em there, so we would have to purchase it online, cost around US$20-$30 a pop.

meron din plastic double sided beater sa lazer 500+ lang. yun ang gamit ko dati at wala ako naging problema

pmack · « **Reply #18 on:** October 25, 2006, 07:31:23 PM »

try mo yung gibraltar beater.
medyo mabigat siya bagay sa mga double o triple strokes:D

legnacilyz · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2006, 09:07:55 PM »

pmack · « **Reply #20 on:** October 25, 2006, 09:28:26 PM »

im not sure pero ask JP baka meron sa yupangco.

autoexec · « **Reply #21 on:** October 26, 2006, 02:42:00 AM »

Hmmm, ask ko lang, mas nakakapunit ba ng heads ang plastic kumpara mo sa felt? Pansin ko kasi nung ginamit ko yung plastic side ng beater ng peral parang nagka lamat agad yung skin ko.

legnacilyz · « **Reply #22 on:** October 26, 2006, 07:34:05 AM »

batter head wear is relative to personal use.
pero yes, kahit medyo mahina ka tumadyak (for lack of a better work) ng bass drum, mapapabilis nga ang pagkasira ng bass drum batter head mo kung plastic beater ang gamit mo. and lalo na kung walang protection yung area na tinatamaan ng beater head.

merong mga locally available na "bass pads" na pwedeng magpatagal ng buhay ng head mo. or better yet, you can try going DIY. pwedeng foam na dinikit using tape, etc...
