If I point my bass drum away from the walls of my practice room, the drum resonates excessively, regardless of the muffling applied.
As a solution I have had to point the bass drum towards the wall about 2-feet away to counter the resonating sound. However, when I do this it eliminates a lot of body and lower-tones from the bass drum.
How can I control the excessive resonation, but keep the body of the drum?
I'm playing in an 11x9 foot room with a concrete floor and a thin carpet. The roof is angled. I've played the drums in different rooms and it has sounded fantastic. It sounded controlled, but deep. Maybe it's the room (or maybe it's my tuning!).
I'm using an 18x22 Tama Superstar (birch) bass drum with a Remo PS3 & Falam Patch (with a pillow).
