So i wanted a little kick for a jungle kit so i made a small bass drum out of a 16" foor tom i had kicking around. Its a 16" Pearl Masters maple that sounded great as a floor tom but i'm not digging the sound as a bass drum. It also feels really weird and bouncy against the bass drum beater. Right now its got clear ambassadors on both sides. I've been playing with the tension but its just not working. Other than throwing a small pillow against the batter head i'm not sure what to do to help. Any ideas where to start with head selection?
