Secret to the Ideal Bass Drum Tone | Season Three, Episode 18

We’ve covered all sorts of hacks for your bass drum but the secret to getting your desired sound it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that it has everything to do with the drumhead that sees the least attention for tuning…the resonant head. Controlling sustain, pitch, and projection without dramatically affecting feel can be done entirely through adjusting the reso head and that’s what we’re covering today.
