Mostly very useful advice, but I love the people who chime in knowing already with certainty that it is a technique/bury issue.
I play with different BD techniques, depending on the type of music and other factors.
In my current band, for the kind of stuff we do, I usually find myself playing heel up, and burying the beater. It yields tone that you don't otherwise get with heel down. And for certain stuff, it's just a very natural thing to bury the beater.
I guess after 40 years of play, I still don't know what I'm doing.
