The drummer in our band has been trying to improve his sound, mostly by getting rid of the overtones from his kit. He bought some drum rings, which have worked pretty well.
I talked to him a few days ago, and he mentioned that he has glued the drum rings to the drumheads. He said he did this to prevent the rings from falling off when he transports his kit to practice (which happened last week).
My question is, does gluing the drum rings to the drumheads reduce the effectiveness of the rings? It seems to me like if the rings are glued on, they are essentially part of the head, and thus wouldn't reduce the overtones as well (or at all). I was hoping to get some clarification on this issue before mentioning anything to the drummer.
