Here's my muffling:
If you'd like, you can listen to how it sounds by

very nice drumming. very nice chops. very nice sound. very nice documentation on your page. what batters / resos are you using ?
i know a lot of folks aren't into muffling. either they don't need it or sometimes they actually abhor the very concept. but i have no problem with it. muffling has been done throughout the ages. Bonzo muffled. but even more exemplary to me is that if it's good enough for Ed Cassidy, it's good enough for me.
in the classic rock era (which is what i'm into) it was very common to muffle especially in studio situations as well as in live performance. the studio applications are very much what i'm interested in.
that said, i'm a new drummer and am interested in muffling styles / types / evolution over the years (
) / specific muffling for different types of music / common muffling styles for specific types of music / the landscape of the world of muffling / the state of muffling today / muffling in social application / etc. / from moon gel, to...
cigarette pack on the head (how full a pack ? placed where ?)
towel under the rim (how thick ? which lugs ?)
towel over the rim (taped ? where ?)
handkerchief in a corner between two lugs (which two lugs ? how thick a handkerchief ?)
and many other styles and variations of styles that are unknown to myself - a relative newb.
if anyone can contribute to my knowledge of this world, please chime in !!!
