Hey lads, starting to give up. I bought a Mapex VX Voyager as I was just a starter & also thought the smaller kit would be better for recording. When assembled I read up and watched lots & lots of tutorials on how to tune drums etc. Eventually I was able to tune them but only with the reso head off. When the two heads were on the sound of them both was just too confusing for me to hear. When I dampened one on the floor the head I was tuning seemed to be dampened in a way that only the higher frequencies could be heard & again I couldn't tune them. I then started just recording with the top heads on & everything sounded ok. I then bought some new heads (Evans G2 Coated) and they're so dead I cant tune them at all. I don't have a lot of money so buying new heads is a pretty big thing. I'm about to chuck my drums out the window I'm so pissed off (and I live on the 3rd floor). I just don't get it, never ever had a problem tuning guitar to anything, i can't read music but can listen & pick up and play a tune very quickly. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I just an idiot or are my drums just crap?
Any help greatly greatly appreciated
