this is a very popular thread here, usually it has to do with the heads that you are using. a 2 ply head such as Evans EC2 and Remo pinstripe will give you an adequate punch, much like a bass drum. also various dampening techniques can be used to muffle the drum head from overtones. some dampeners are highly adjustable, and can be used on the resonant, batter, or both heads.
