check the angle of the bass drum kung masyadong mataas, isang factor din kasi ito sa pagkabutas ng bass drum head. tapos yung beater ng pedal check mo kung matigas masyado.... yung evans g1 ko dati nabutas sa tigas ng beater....

I have had my stock Pearl for a couple of years and is still holding up..

A factor I noticed that could greatly decrease life of the head is using the plastic/hard side of the beater instead of the Felt..

To further prolong the head I would suggest using the felt..it does give a soft and deep boom sound though if your after the attack and wet sound the plastic side is your only choice..

Madali talaga mabutas ang bass drumhead due to the fact that you're hitting the same area all the time. Di katulad ng snare at toms na nag iiba iba ng area ang tinatamaan mo pag pumapalo. Bukod sa beater na gamit mo, isang factor din uyng technique mo sa pag sipa sa pedal. Kung bumabaon sa bass drum ang beater mo imbes na tumatalbog (problema sa technique)mas mabilis mabugbog ang head mo at mabutas.
May mga nabibiling patch/badge na nilalagay sa bass drumheads na gawa ng remo at evans; para 'tong plaster na nagsisilbing protector sa friction ng beater sa skin ng bass drum mo. Pwede ka din gumamit ng electric/duct tape kung gusto mo, o dalawang layer ng Salonpas na mabibili mo sa drugstore.

Hope this helps. Happy drumming!

hey guys, baka kasi bumili na ako mamaya ng bass drum head tapos these two are my options. sa tingin niyo? ano mas maganda at mas matibay overall?

disregard niyo na yung price. i just need the quality of the heads in your opinions.

thanks in advance!

It would really depend on the kind of bass drum sound you're looking for.

Remo Pinstripes are tried and tested, and most drummers prefer it for the deep, round bass drum sound it produces. If you want lots of boomy low end, the Pinstripe is a very good bet. And it's a 2-ply head, so it can hold on in terms of durability.

The Controlled Sound (CS) heads are the dotted heads, right? With this head, I think we'll get more of an old-school sound, since these heads were popular during the 70's. Did Bonham use a CS head during his prime?

omnicloud7 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 08, 2007, 04:28:44 PM »

ah, thanks for the opinion sir!

keep the opinions comin'!

since yung marami nga ata nagpreprefer dun sa pinstripe, baka yun na nga kunin ko. sana may falam patch sila, para mas tumagal pa sakin. =)

autoexec · « **Reply #12 on:** September 08, 2007, 07:41:48 PM »

yung falam patch po ba eh yung parang bulaklak na nakadikit kadalasan sa reso ng mga toms? Pasensya na po kung OT... San po ba nakakakuha ng ganun?

intake · « **Reply #13 on:** September 08, 2007, 08:31:46 PM »

Falam Patches are placed on the impact area of the bass drum head where the beater hits the head repeatedly. The are used for more controlled attack and supposedly extends head life.

cradleofklien · « **Reply #15 on:** September 08, 2007, 10:56:37 PM »

san ba nakakabili ng falam patch? kz nakabili ako dati sa gibraltar ung tig 200 lang..langya dinumihan lang ung bagong bili kong pinstripe sa bass drum di man lang din nag tagal..2days lang ata un tapos tanggal na...

.. gusto ko kz ung matagalan hehe..san kaya meron nun?

omnicloud7 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 08, 2007, 10:59:04 PM »

gah...sayang. walang stock na pinstripe or CS yung JB na pinuntahan ko. kakatawag ko lang kanina, tapos sabi nila meron, pagdating ko dun, out of stock na raw. but since in desperate need ako ng bass head, i was forced to buy a remo "encore" head.

guys, uhh, ngayon ko lang kasi narinig yung "encore" na remo. are these any good? mejo mukha kasi pekeng remo eh. hehe, just to be sure, bumili nalang rin ako ng impact pad para siguradong tumagal ito sakin.

wats your opinions on the encore series?

Akira JUMBO · « **Reply #17 on:** September 08, 2007, 11:03:58 PM »

@cradleofklien

JB should have it but usually always out of stock.

@omnicloud7

IMO it really pays to be patient. You should have contacted other JB branches and got the Pinstripe or Controlled Sound instead.

nah, its aryt.

kailangan ko lang naman na pangpractice eh. for practice purposes lang naman kaya hindi gaano importante yung tunog.

don't get me wrong, sound IS important. kinailangan ko nalang talaga. ^_^

OT: ive been using pinstripe for almost 3 years now...

its too fat and too low, if you want more versatile sound try using powerstroke 3

vinci has a lot of stock as of now

blackhawk7a · « **Reply #23 on:** January 14, 2008, 05:31:12 PM »

guys,sa buong drum life ko ang problema ko talaga eh madali akong mbutasan ng bass drum head,pero pg tinignan q ung ibang bass drum ng ibang mga drummers,ang tagal naman sa kanila nung heads nila,hay help nmn,anu b ang kailangan gawin para tumagal talaga ang bass drum heads?

bassman88 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 14, 2008, 05:41:12 PM »

Batter po ba? Pag batter, make sure mo muna finger tight tension lang ung tuning or kahit mas mahigpit ng konti, baka masyadong masikip sayo, hehe, or pwede ka bumili nung mga patch na nilalagay sa impact point ng pedal beater mo para tumagal ung life.

Kung reso naman na binutasan ng bilog ung pinaguusapan natin, try mo lagyan ng 4 layers of scotch tape ung edges para may support, minsan kasi pag napwersahan napupunit un, tapos once napunit, dirediretsyo na haha.
