Hi guys I posted a post similar to this a few months back about bass drum feeling and how it was an issue. Well recently my Powerstroke Pro broke mysteriously and I was forced to put my stock bass drum head on until I buy a new bass drum head in which I choose the Powerstroke 3 Coated to save up on. When I put the stock head on, it felt and sounded SO much better. I also lowered the bass drum height which also gave a better and less cluster phobic feel. But still to this day, I all sudden still don't like the feeling but of course feels a lot better. I get this weird chunky and thick type feeling whenever I play, and I've tried different tuning ranges and muffling methods. I also have been working on my bass drum foot technique a lot recently since my last post and find it slightly easier and fluent to play faster strokes with good dynamics and precision.
Is it possible that the stock bass drum head is just thicker than usual? Is the Powerstroke 3 head thinner than the Yamaha Stock batter head to my bass drum? Does thickness of the head actually make a difference in terms of feel?
