Just got a great looking DW set with a 14" & 16" floor tom. I'm starting to play jazz so thought it would be great to use the 16" as a little bop kick.
I'm using the DW factory heads without any mods. I'm a little unhappy with the result. I'm thinking maybe a felt strip for the front head and changing to Genera G1 heads might make a difference. I'm looking a boomy sound but to my ears is just sounds like cr*p.
The pedal is an old dw-5000 that's on it's last legs and the bounceback I'm getting just doesn't feel right. I've tried the dw head beater and a new vintage felt "bomber", but I'm still getting too much bounceback. Maybe going to a different pedal would be better.
Anyone else have a 16 or 18 jazz kick that you're happy with? Any advice for setup would be great!
