Big BASS

I NEED HELP!!!
Okay I was playing my set when i realized that my bass drum kinda sucked. I mean it gives a good 'thump' but I need more of a dark deeper sound that I can only get with a long bass drum.
You know the ones that look like tubes?
Anyone know where to get one?

Why not work with what you have? What are you muffling your bass drum with?

[CAM1027]

pillows of all kinds. And I've tried just about everything from regular pillows to special made pillows, and to the point of that temperpedic stuff.
but do you know where to get those really long bass drums.

Try an Evans EQ pad. I think your problem is, you have too much stuff in your kick drum...OVERdampening it.

[CAM1027]

Yeah but I've experimented with it to the point where I have a sorta good sound.

[BigTallG]

What heads are you using?

[CAM1027]

The ones that came with my Tama kit.

[BigTallG]

That's why you can't get a good sound.....try a Remo Powerstroke 3 batter head, or an Evans equivalent.....you'll never get a great sound with stock heads.

I don't like remo so what would be the evans equivalent?

[hellsbells58]

Get the Evans EMAD Head, the one with the muffling ring on the outside. That would be the best option if you don't like Remo.
