| well it really depends on what you're looking for. If you're doing it just for looks then it might be a bit risky to cut it out and make it look perfect. On the other hand, if you're doing it for micing purposes or you want to change the sound of your bass drum, then it might be something to consider. With a small hole, some of the resonance of the drum is taken out and you wont have as much response from the head as most of the air flow out of the drum |
