Re: Drum Dampening Fascism


Hey Paulo!

Nice to meet you! The last time I replaced my heads, I had a freind come out help me do exactly as you have described. It is so hard to determine how your set is really sounding when you are practicing alone. Turns out what sounded good to me was not that good from out front, and took a few more adjustments. I now make sure that before the start of any performance, someone takes a listen for me out in the audience or dance floor area. It really makes a difference in the dynamics, and can make or break the gig. (Still searching for the Tuning Guru who can help me eliminate the dampeners and the dreaded over-ring..where are you!?)
