Looking for a particular sound... I'm looking for a particular set of heads. I want tom heads that are bright, have a short sustain, and have a harder feel than most.
I love doing me some double stroke rolls, but with the heads I have now, the rolls aren't very clear at all. It's very muddy, and I wish the heads could have more rebound.
And a bright sounding head just fits the way I play. Now I need a hard surfaced head with a short sustain.
Something very articulate.
Any opinions?
I'm also looking for a very warm, soft, but bold sound for my bass drum. I want something that's more of a medium sustain, but very low and articulate. Now that's a tricky combo.
Any help there?
I wasn't going to go into snare, but I might as well kill three birds with one stone this time. I'm looking for a light, crisp, very wet sound. I want it to sound very crisp. Something where each note is short in sustain.
Same with the toms. I want a short sustain and a bright, crisp sound to bring out rolls and fast singles.
I know tuning plays a big role, but I need to start with the right heads. |
