So I'm playing around with my kick drum right now. I put the Evans EMAD system on my kick a few months ago.

I love the heads, but even with the largest middle ring I had killer overtones. I put one of the Evans pillows in it, but it's mich of nothing and the overtones were still bad.

I decided to put a pillow in the drum today. It certainly killed the overtones, but it's completely dead sounding now.

I guess I'm going to try it for a few days and see how I like it, then go from there.
