I usually play with a headset, with music, and it's dampened headset, so i won't destroy my ears. Im a bad tuner, but through my headset, the drums sound so incredible. When i take off my headset after practising i maybe hit a drum, and it sounds like a little worse, but much lower in volume. It feels like the drums are even at a higher volume through a dampened headset?! I don't know what the **** im doing wrong. I've spent ages of tuning, and i always kinda finds a sound that sound... well OK. And then stops, i retuned them after playing them without the headset again. My heads are fairly tight, but when i hit like i normally would, a little hard, it makes such a wierd noise - like a warping sound... warw, and then the resonance comes, The only high sound is the sound of the stick hitting the head like a.... DAK.. followed by resonance - which is MUCH lower than the impact of the stick - this bugs me. The heads are coated amb, emp and pinstribe - first time i changed heads, so i bought a 10 amb, 12 emp, 16 pin. The coating is gone on the 12 and the 16. Could that have an impact on the sound? Does coated heads make wierd noises? Some drum fellas says they preffer clear because coated sounds awkward... The Drums are Yamaha Stage Custom Birch. I've played clear stock heads before, and they didn't make this noise. I havent changed the bottom heads yet, but they're as thin as plastic bags or so. I could put a hole through them with my finger.... well... almost. When i replace heads, i replace the bottom ones too... SOON!
I Hope some of you can see what's wrong, im new at drums, and an obvious thing won't really be visible for me yet. Thanks in advance. Bert.
