I was listening to this Steve Maxwell clip about tuning drums. He says that if you DO NOT want to use mic for sound projection, it is best to tune the top batter head higher than the bottom resonant head. In this way, the sound projects away from the drummer. I do not have a decibel meter to test this out. His recommendation is not about what is the right or the wrong way to tune drums. He is making a case for sound projection WITHOUT a mic.
What has been your experience? Do you tune your drum this way and if you do, does it give you a better sound projection?
