Today I was working on rudiments at my kit, and I didn't have my practice pad with me. The noise was getting really loud so I put on ear muffs (the kind for using at a shooting range). I was amazed at how smooth my rudiments sounded, and impressed by how good and even everything sounded even playing them on the toms.
I ended up having a good session and got some really good speed up doing different rolls around the kit.
Then I took the headphones off and heard what It sounded like. It was pretty bad, the strokes sounded uneven, some of the tom strokes sounded like they were missing even.
does anybody have this problem too? I think that my actual problem might be just the sound of my drums, everything is super resonant single ply heads, no muffling on anything, 3 ply ludwig drums. I am inclined to try using some more controlled heads just to see if the problem is just the overtones ringing out of control or if the problem is with my playing.
I am kind of bothered becuase with the headphones on I really sounded great.
