Can’t wait to see the look on the drummer’s face when he sits behind the kit tomorrow!
Lol! $1.50 at the dollar store! Get them while you can.
I’ll probably not use this one though, but it brings up that ability to add a bit of mass to the resonant head on the kick thus lowering the fundamental. I may just do an a-b to see.
You geek. 
oh, I totally am!
{‘-’}
Wouldn’t call that a huge difference, but it actually sounds better
Or is that just wishful thinking.
Did you listen on full-range speakers?
Night and day on my focals.
For sure I can hear a diff.
BTW
There is a kik in the HalionSonic SE2 drum set called:
‘Power Standard Kit’.
If you:
1-trigger the ‘B’ note kik with medium velocity (approx 100).
2-tune it down -90 cents
3-increase the ‘bass’ eq a lil and suck out the ‘lo-mid’ a bit.
it to my ears it comes kinda close to your example.
Thanks for sharing.

lol i love these! daft yeah but fun 
moon gel is fantastic stuff too! so much better than bog roll and gaffa tape…
That’s awesome. I don’t know if I have that patch, but I’m going to look it up. I’m on 6.5.
Gaffers, duct, magic, whatever was around. Sometimes I would take roll gauze and tape it on top or take the head off and clip the corner with some thin fabric like you would use a felt strip on a kick.
The real interesting thing for me here is this kit, Tama star classic 5 piece shell pack, is the kick is only 18". I was hesitant to buy it for the house kit because of the kick diameter, but after recording it for, gosh, it must be 6 or 8 years by now, it is such a malleable drum when you have a small selection of heads for it. Today’s session is a modern rockish original band. A lot of drummers freak when they see the size of the kick, then they play it.
lol yeah i used to try pretty much anything when i was playing drums… those fluffy yellow dusters draped over a snare was, and still is actually, the quickest way i’ve found to get that classic disco/70’s funk snare… can cause a lot of probs if the drummer ghosts a lot though.
I also love small diameter bass drums… they’re just so much punchier, ok they don’t look as impressive if that’s your kind of thing though… when i moved over to bass guitar after a nasty accident basically wrecked my right elbow, i always preferred playing with drummers who used a smaller BD as they cut through with much less messing about… it was always nice to feel that kick in the kidneys from them too
Back in the 80’s i remember spending hours making a pad out of two bits of remo weather king coated batter, sandwiching a 50p piece between them and using a wooden beater on the BD, then also triggering a 60hz or so sine wave with a very fast gate over it to get a colossal sound, not very subtle but that was the 80s for you lol
Looks good enough to eat
Yes! Hey, Split, good to see you around. I’ve missed your presence here. Hope all is well with you and your studio. I saw that you turned away from it for a bit. I did too, but over the past few months have gotten back in the saddle and have been having a lot of fun.
All the best!
Yeah, all’s good thanks Tom. Still have the studio but work full time 4 days a week outside that. Put the controls to my younger producer who, it must be said, is doing a sterling job. Still plenty to do though with various music projects…
