Okay so I've heard of the idea of making a bass drum tunnel before. (to help isolate the bass drum sound.) However, someone suggested to me that an exellent way to do this is by using another bass drum. He suggested to buy like a really cheap used one, remove both the heads. Make sure it's hollow with no blankets or pillows, and then rig up your mic to it. When you go to record bands, just place the crappy bass drum in front of the other bass drum creating a tunnel. First off, is this gonna work? I mean it sounds cool, but you don't ever see professional studios doing it, so I'm just wondering. And secondly, should you dampen the "tunnel" by adding cloth or other absorbants to the walls? Would it sound better if you kept one head on the back of the "tunnel"? Or should you just leave it the way it is? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
