Deep, Wide Open Bass Drum Sounds | Season Two, Episode 44
When it comes to massive low-end response and an unprecedented amount of punch, sometimes the simplest methods are the best. Take the stuff out of the drum, remove the external muffling, simplify the drumhead configuration, and dial in the tuning relationship between batter and reso. This week, we’re going wide open and LOW for bass drum tuning and experimenting with batter vs. reso pitch relationships as we explore one of our favorite styles of bass drum sounds. Bass Drum Pedal Exercise: / 33148097 Lower Reso: 4:11 Same Pitch: 6:2 Higher Reso: 8:20 Back to Back Comparison: 11:43 Can't get enough of Sounds Like a Drum?
