Re: Help with tuning and resonance.


The difference in sound your are experiencing could be the difference in the acoustics of the room, as well as difference in tuning. If you're practicing in a small room at home it won't sound the same as the larger band room as school. Some dampening as suggested may help. I personally prefer the O-rings, which if you still have your old heads, can be made for free from your old drum heads. The O'Rings are just drum head material with the ring cut off and the middle cut out ( make them about an inch wide), and lay them on the drum batter head of your drum.
