Ah. My mistake. One day I'll be brave enough and try it.
Just so I'm clear... You're looking to try this sound? I can certainly dig it, though I would have mic'ed both sides.

That's essentially what I've been doing lately, except I bought a larger sheet of egg-crate foam so I could cut it to custom sizes to touch the heads. The egg-crate really works well to absorb the errant frequencies without killing the drum.

Just curious, were you able to cut a clean circle and if so then how? Whenever I tried to do a very large port and/or cut out most of a reso it always ends up looking like garbage.I know this a thread back from the dead. (I'm a poet and I know it!)
I've gone back to the 70s and have put a 20" port on my reso head and stuck a pillow in the bass drum, used a bit of carpet tape to keep it in place. It's the most anti me thing ever but the rest of the band love the tight thump you get from micing the back of the batter head.
I still have my 20 open with just powerstroke heads.
Pretty easy just drew round a 20" cymbal with a Sharpie and cut into the middle of the head and out as close to the circle as I dared with a knife then got a pair of scissors and followed the circle I drew.Just curious, were you able to cut a clean circle and if so then how?
