TchMuzk Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 What heads are you using on top and bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashiharu Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 What heads are you using on top and bottom? i'm not sure it seems Kevlar on batter side(white) and plastic on snare side(transparent) BTW, i dun know the differents(outlook & texture) on Mylar and Kevlar ... it's that the old concert snare head should be likely to use Mylar (hard or texturized surface, thinner) and the marching snare on my hand is Kevlar (thick, highler flexibility, smooth surface) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Adam Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hmmm...when we got the new SFZ's they sounded great right out of the box. I cranked the bottom head for just about all it could take, top head to a medium tension, tuned the individual snares to a relatively high pitch. You shouldn't need any sort of muffling inside the drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyboy Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Please don't mistake tone for echo. How does the drum sound from a few feet away? How does it sound from 50 feet or from the stands? It is probably just a tuning thing, mess around with the drum. I find many drum guys like to muffle drums (especially basses) so they sound good while you are playing them or standing right over top of them, but this makes them sound like cardboard boxes from the audiences perspective. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
