Hey guys,
Let me start this by saying that I have no problem getting a kick ass bass drum sound. My bass drum is like a canon. The problem however, is when I tune my batter head tight for quicker foot work, I'm ending up with too much boom and slap back. The solution to me is to stuff the bass drum with a larger blanket and push it up against the batter head but I'm still getting some back pressure and a tad of boom depending on the room. Are you guys tuning your reso heads really loose? Mine is ported but still getting some kick back. (wood beaters on an iron cobra)
I probably shouldn't be complaining seeing as a lot of people have horrible sounding kick drums but i've got to think that a lot of these metal guys are stuffing the hell out of their bass drums because when you hear them without mic's they sound like taps..
Thanks.
