Just asking. Why do we tune with little taps, but when we play we bang very hard??
Ahh well naturally to save my ears, I actually hate undesired noise very much. And secondly except for the reso head over 350hz, the tune bot is capable of picking up the frequencies with minimal strength. I tried to tap harder on the resonant head but it was ineffective and perhaps not ideal for the reso head itself.

Just by pushing the resonant head with my hands and weight, so seat it correctly, I caused damage to it. with videos like this one and others (around 3:15, S.P., Jumping on the bass drum, please watch it it's hilarious.), I thought drum heads were close to indestructible and required to be seriously seated (I am a fan of Simon Philips, no mistake.)
This is the result of me pushing with my hands, perhaps my knuckles, a mistake..

There is a third point.. as I am studying jazz, I listen to many records and my goal is to play as light weight as it can be, feather light playing?. At least that's a goal.
