I've got a Sonor 3007 maple kit with an 18" bass drum and I'm trying to decide which heads to put on either the batter or resonant side. I was thinking of either using an 18' Ambassador with a felt strip, or getting an 18" Fiberskyn PS3 for the resonant side. An issue with my bass drum right now (it currently has stock Remo UT PS3 heads) is when I try to tune it up to the pitch I want for jazz, it loses all of its body, warmth, and volume, so I'm stuck with a high-pitched punchy sound when I want to get more of a 'boom'. It may be the way I'm tuning it (currently experiented with a medium batter and a combination of a medium-tight and medium-loose resonant side), but the combination I'm using don't seem to keep the warmth heard at lower tunings show at the higher range. Any suggestions?
