That floor tom sounds so...damn...good!!! Must played that intro a few times alone. In 10+ years of drumming, this is one of the best floor toms I've ever heard!
I hate moon gels and try my best to avoid dampening. But… one night playing a gig in a small venue, the singer said my snare was too lively, whatever that means. I put a moon gel at the top and another knockoff gel next to it. That was way too much. So rather than chunking the extra dampening piece, I stuck it on the rim, off to the side. At some point in the night I hit it doing a rim shot. It flipped up and landed in an odd spot on snare head. I left it there lol. Sounds perfect. I’ve had so many compliments on my snare sound… I’m like, yep, I did that. Haha
Interesting choice w/ the Ambassador Coated on top. You plan on bringing this radical new single-ply worldview into a live setting at church as well, or is this just your plan for your home / studio setting? What tipped you off to go this direction, just wanted to experiment?
Honestly, it’s more of an experiment that I wanted to test out that I so far really enjoy. I’ve been mainly using vintage coated emperors for the past 10 years, and sometimes I wish that they sang a little bit more. So for this video and illustration I decided to go with the classic ambassador. I’m actually using ambassadors at one of the churches I play at and I absolutely love them! Thanks for watching
@@Theryanprim I love that. I know plenty of studios (outside overdubbing live CCM recordings) swear by single-ply coated ambassadors as THE standard for toms and even snares. It's all there was back in the day when studios were just getting going w/ rock and country and they've barely changed the manufacturing of those heads since. I just can't imagine 5Bs slamming them week after week allowing them to last very long compared to Emperors, Powerstrokes, Pinstripes, or Center Dots for a "caged" worship setting. But I'm all about that "let it sing, control the ring" methodology... curious how long they stay in shape for you!
I’ll submit that absolute magic I’ve found to cut all that lingering hum and unnecessary (flat out disturbing noise) after tonal thingy going on. Here’s the tip: Tune as you did here- no prob there, but as you change heads, just throw in 4-6 cotton balls. Done. No moongels, no killing tonality of drum shell or heads and just a pure clean beautiful deep tone sought after. On a 16” floor I generally put in 4 cotton balls for birch, possibly up to 6 for a maple shell. You may obviously play with the amount and adjust to your own taste. Been drumming / tuning over 50 years and this is by far the best and easiest solution. Drum on drumming colleagues. Thx. Dean.
@@Theryanprim yeah I saw tip Out more now. Thats cool. Next head swap give it a try. Obviously it will work on any drum in need of some sonic control. Just a matter of preference how many cotton balls one uses. I just gave my general opinion on my experimentations. Drum on bro. D
I hear ya. This is a lower end DW performance series maple shell and tbh it isn’t even that great of a drum, for me it helps when you have fresh heads to put on and actually gives you a good gauge on if your shells are decent or not. But I agree there are some pretty poor sounding mid range kits out there. Thanks for watching!

@@rickmatthewjones yeah I’m interested to see how well the durability pans out on these heads But I agree let the Tom’s sing!!

I’ve always wanted to try the cotton ball trick! I’ve seen it on many videos. Cheers!

You can easily achieve that kind of tuning on dw's, try those mid range kits..

Keren.., Salam kenal dari drummer pemula
Will it be same to tune with clear heads like Remo Emperor?
Yeah it will be very similar!
What model drumsticks use?
What would you recommend for tuning 14x14 floor
Fundamental:
D (2nd Octave)
Top Lug: 110 Hz
Bottom Lug: 145 Hz
What would you recommend for a 10"?
Need to make a video for it!
