Doppler tuning (acoustic, not recording)
Hi. I am trying to get back into drums.
I read at "the drum tuning bible" about this "doppler effect" - when the drum is tuned to descend in pitch after the initial attack. I mean acoustically without any miking/processing.
This sound is often present in electronic drum sounds - a certain "disco" type "kit" will have the toms with that typical 80's sound.
I've been trying to follow the procedures, but haven't gotten that yet.
I am trying to use Aquarian Performance II clear heads (batter) and I have some kind of Remo clear resonants (I don't remember when I got them). They're in good shape, but they have the rainbowy look, must be a multiply? I wonder if single-ply resonants are the answer?
Thanks!
