For twenty years I played the drums, then I stopped. I did some other things for a while and now I'm back, but I'm not just carrying on where I left off, oh no, I have grand plans. My stated goal is ecstatic improvisation through technical mastery of the drumset, and it starts with a bold new schedule. Every weekday I'm waking up at 4:30 in the morning to get in two hours of practice before work. For now, I'm focused on rebuilding my hands by learning traditional grip for the first time ever. The future holds more technical studies and eventually building a recording studio for the next phase of The Oregon Drum Project, so stay tuned for updates every week.

Glad I found this video. I bought a set of these heads for my kids Yamaha kit. Thank you. 🙏🏼

Waiting on my drum kit to arrive so that I can put my silent stroke heads on it. This video gave me a good idea of how loud the kick will be.

[@dewindoethdwl2798]

A dodge I’ve come across to improve tone is to use masking tape / low tack painter’s tape. Using a three to four inch wide tape put a strip on the batter (mesh) head running to one side of centre, such as from 2 o’clock to 5 o’clock. This really improves the tone and the volume stays quiet. You can experiment with adding more. In effect you’ve got a strip of “normal” head sending a pulse to bounce the resonant head. To avoid the glue making a mess, I’d suggest removing the tape fairly routinely and definitely if storing the drums for a while.

[@DirtyBandana]

Good ideas!!

Why don’t you have the like 300k subs? You have quality videos

[@davidenorth]

Hey thanks. Just ordered my silent stroke heads. Every video I see has just been review type with no install footage.

[@DirtyBandana]

Glad it was helpful! 🤘

[@etilcareh]

Excellent, thank you very much !

[@luke.frog07]

yo guys can someone help me out so i got this exact bass head and i put it on and everything, tightened all the edges yk, but then when i went to play it, there is almost no sound coming out at all… like literally nothing. what should i do

[@victormarkos4170]

Does using the eq patch help with less rebound? I find they are too bouncy on the kick.

[@DirtyBandana]

I don't think the patch helped much, I ended up tuning it way down so the head was a lot looser

[@Liamhears]

waaayyyyyy too bouncy fuck

[@ivangarma5688]

how do you tune the beater and the resonant head?

[@DirtyBandana]

I tuned it mostly for feel, not necessarily sound. I wanted it to feel like my normal kick head so my practice would feel the same as performances, that's kinda where I started. Good luck!

[@keirantumpalan8168]

Will they be durable enough for double pedal?

[@DirtyBandana]

To be honest, I'm not sure. I'm playing just the single pedal and I play beater-off the drumhead so I don't really test the durability much. I just stood on it really hard though and it put up with my body weight fine.

[@botanicaldrummer5192]

They are. I used one for the last year with double kick.

[@kevincernoch58]

@@botanicaldrummer5192 Cool

[@e-drummer2479]

It seems the sound without the impact patch is better, less “plastic style”. I got the same impression on my BD that I put the SS on. I have a double pedal and can hear the difference between with and without patch. Did you get a sound you like at the end? What did you do?

[@ivangarma5688]

@@botanicaldrummer5192 me too, very durable for a double pedal! i play metal =)
