So far I've played without any hole in the front head, but I just might get one soon. Still, before I do that, I'd like to hear your opinion about it.
Basically the sound is quite good right now, but it seems to me the drum hasn't quite got the power I'd like in terms of the lowest frequencies. Would a hole solve that? What kind of surprises would it bring? To be noted that, at the very moment, the bass drum is a bit over-muffled (the pillow is a tad too big) and I suppose that's the main reason for it not quite delivering enough bass frequencies.
My question is just a general one: pros and cons for a hole in the front head (I won't do a big one anyway ). I know that a hole isn't preferable for a jazzy sound, but since since the BD is a 22"x18" birch and since most of my jobs are rock and metal at the moment, this is the perspective that I'm asking the question from.
Thanks!
