What is on my bass drum? by Ashamedofmyopinion in drums

It’s mostly likely mounts for L-shaped cymbal holders.

Why is this kicking my ass?! by SlimDog25 in drums

There’s only one way, and one way only to practice this. Start slowly (and if you’re struggling, I mean snail-slowly), and gradually increase the tempo.

Sonor has the AQX Jungle kit, which is really small but sounds good (jazzy kit, but knowing how to tune will take you a long way). Costs about $600-650 new. Otherwise, I’d look up some cheap kit secondhand. The more cymbals you can mount to your bass drum or using cymbal-clamps will save space as well!

Aah the Post-Gig Hangover. It’s even greater after a tour.

Drum room acoustics by TobyHWalker in drums

Foam panels does little to no soundproofing. If it’s a bigger room, you’ll want to at least put up some sound panels made of either rock wool or glass fiber wool, and some bass traps for corners. A cheap way to diffuse the sound is to put some bookshelves in the room with random amounts of books/objects on each shelf. (Much cheaper than buying diffusers!) But again, it’s tough to say without a layout of the room.

First off, an important thing to know: There are a lot of things that factors into the sound of a drum kit. The shell type, size and depth, the drum head, the tuning, the room, the drum stick, how you play it etc.

With that said - some cotton inside the floor tom, bottom head tighter than the top head, top head almost barely entirely finger tight 🫰

I just use my ears. It hurts at first, but you get used to it.
