I've been playing for about two years and originally started off with Pearl Forums. I've put in a lot of time to get decent and just joined a band that plays a hybrid of Doom (Death/Stoner, think Sleep meets Hooded Menace). My play is fine but my drums just don't match the music. I'm not sure if I'm not tuning right or if it's the heads, or if it's just my crappy entry level drums.
I currently use Remo Emperor Black Suedes on my Toms, Super Kick 10 on my bass, and Aquarian Triple threat on my snare. I bought the tuning key that lets you select a setting and then it will stop when it hits that, but I have no point of reference as to what is high/low.
I've recently seen some bands use acrylic drums (particularly toms and bass) to get a real deep punchy sound which I like, but the problem is all the acrylic demos I can find are tuned pretty high to get a more bouncy sound so I don't know if they would be good for this style once tuned down. Willing to buy new drums but looking to stay around $1000 used.
Anyone have experience in this genre that can help out?
