Evans EQ Pad - Position / Angle

Hello everyone!

I have a quick question for those who have Evans EQ Pad. At what position - angle do you rest it on the Batter Head of the Bass Drum?

I am asking that because my Reso Head is un-ported, so everytime that I change the angle I have to remove and re-tune the Reso Head. So, it's quite procedure for error and try.
 
Re: Evans EQ Pad

Depends on how much damping you want. If you watch the Bob Gatzen videos, he puts it a bit more than 45 degrees. So when the head first vibrates it bounces off, but falls back against the head to shorten the sustain. YMMV.
 
So, moderate damping is 45 degrees let's say?, While max damping is fitted on the batter head 90 degrees?
