Drums FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Category: Main -> Tuning
| Answer | | · How often should I tune the bottom heads on my drums? Do they go out of tune a lot? If you drum has a lower end "honk" or a descending overtone, chances are, it's your bottom head. If you are a stickler for tuning, I would suggest tuning it every few times you play. I have found that with lower tunings, putting an extra nylon washer on the bottom head helps them hold their tune longer. -shane [ Back to Top ]
| | · Is it possible to over-muffle my drums? Yes. But sometimes that is what you want isn't it? If you prefer over muffling, Remo Muffl's tend to do just that. You lose all volume from the drum, but you have the tone. It can be a pleasing sound if all drums are muffled in conjunction with another.-Shane [ Back to Top ]
| | · Drum heads-what do I get? This is a commonly asked question. If you remember these guidelines, there are clear, coated, one ply and two ply, and muffled heads. Your best bet is to ask a specialist. I prefer a coated one ply on my toms with a clear single ply on the bottom, unless I'm playing a tad harder, then I prefer a clear two ply on the top. I don't muffle my snare or toms, and I prefer a self muffled bass drum head. In terms of selecting what works best for you, the more up front you are about your gear and your style, the easier it gets to make a proper suggestion. -Shane [ Back to Top ]
