Does Bass Drum Batter Head Choice Matter? | Season Two, Episode 39

Описание: One of the most popular muffling methods for bass drums over the years has been the addition of a pillow inside the drum. Of course, this causes some controversy among those who believe that all bass drums should go “boom” rather than “thump” regardless of musical context. This week we set out to explore whether or not it matters what batter head you choose to use if you’re also using a pillow for internal muffling.
