    Advice on drum sound

    Here is a video I recorded with my drum kit. My main concern is the kick drum. I like it very low but I can't tune it as low as I want. I bought it used and the heads are used too, so could that be the problem? or it's usually about the dimensions of the drum? Also, I was thinking about...

    8 track cassete recorders?

    WTF?! When I first saw that porta studio 4-track cassete thing I fall in love with the system (and bought my tascam 414mkII a month ago).
