I just took a coffie cup (might have been a very small dish?) and a sheetrock knife and cut it out. It's pretty easy. Doesn't make it any louder, unless you've got a mic stuck in there, of course.
Yeah i know that putting a hole in your bass drum is for miccing your kit for recording purposes..
But does it make it louder?
Also, what do you all use to dampen the bass? I just have a pillow and towel and i think its a bit OTT.
its too quiet.
And i wanna do it anyway it looks awesome haha.
any advice on how?
wow.. why do i always ask so much in my threads? xP

I took an audio CD, traced around it with a new bladed box knife and in about 15 seconds had a perfectly usable ported head.

heat up an old coffee can on the stove and plonk it thru the head, perfect.

I used a coffee can like cutter. Heated it up and Voila!!!! Works like a charm!
A hole boosts your click and attack sound over the resonance, but it doesn't make your kick louder. I would have left my 22" reso head hole-less, but alas, I had to mike it. No way I'm cutting a hole in my 18" kick though!
And the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw. . .
I just purchased a Holz kit for my head. You just glue the ring on the head where you want it with the provided double sided tape and cut out the inner diameter of the ring and apply the backing ring and your done. The good thing about it is it looks nice and professional and the ring protects the head from tearing if you bump the inner edges of the hole with a microphone.
the holz are so stupidly cheep...don't destroy your $50 kick head with a coffee mug !
