A Better Bass Drum Muffling Hack | Season Three, Episode 6

What’s the best way to muffle a bass drum? Answer: whatever helps you achieve the desired sound for the context! This week we’re experimenting with a simple hack often attributed to Simon Phillips in order to achieve control and articulation while maximizing low-frequency response without needing specialized heads or expensive accessories.

DEFINITELY use headphones for viewing this!
