But I was looking into some Aquarian bass drum head combinations to see if I could get the sound that I want without any internal muffling in the bass.
Would a superkick 1 batter head paired with a regulator front head give me that sound? Or how about an impact batter head paired with a regulator front head? The batter head would be clear with th regulator being black on both pairings.
I emailed Aquarian telling them I wanted a bass combo that allowed a little bit of resonance but not too much. I don't like the dead thud sound for my playing. They recommended the Super Kick 1 and Resonator. I really like it, though sometimes I wish it had a teensy bit more resonance. I can always swap out the reso head for a single ply if I want a little more resonance.
Life's too short to play the same solo twice. Improvise!
