Hi Guys,
Has anyone here experienced this phenomena ? Where you hit your bassdrum and it has this balloony bouncing basketball sound ?
I bought a new EMAD1 for my mahogany bassdrum the other day, and was having trouble getting some boom with the bassdrum, so after reading forums and the net, I decided to try removing my pillow from inside the drum, and there it was, this obnoxious bouncing balloony sound.
Being frustrated, I decided to take my drum into the local music store, In the store, the guys tuned the drum completely empty , and it sounded quite great, warmish open boomy yet controlled, I thought great, thanked them and took the drum home.
Placed the drum in my house, hit the kick..... BALLOON !!!!
I eventually just settled for placing an EQ pad inside, and realised that In my house, a nice warm boom seems to be unobtainable.
Anyone know the science behind this ? or why this thing happens ?
I thought it might be interesting to see if anyone has any thoughts or opnions on this subject
Cheers
