Your Resos Are Killing Your Tom Tone | Season Three, Episode 38

Don’t just reach for the tape/gel/muffling of choice. If you’re constantly frustrated by tom sounds then there’s a very real possibility that it’s due to the lack of love your resonant heads are receiving. This is more common than you might think- even with the top professionals and studios alike, and the first thing people reach for is some sort of muffling rather than a drum key. In this episode we demonstrate how to diagnose choked toms and fix the issue with tuning rather than tape. Can't get enough of Sounds Like a Drum? Want to access to our brand new cymbal series?
