So I've got 2 bass drums, a 22x18 and a 24x18, identical everything else. I have them open at two different pitches.... sort of a tympani effect. Problem is, the 22 comes across as lower than the 24, both in recordings and live. Seems the same no matter how I tune/muffle/mic them. Any ideas how to even the two out? It's more a lack of low-end out of the 24, even though it's at a lower pitch. The amount of EQ it takes to even them out in the mix sounds pretty bad, so I'm looking for other ideas.....
Feel free to tell me if this is a stupid idea, but I think the effect would be cool if I could get it right.
