The most important step on the road to developing the battery is good for practice - a lot of melody!
Be brave - you can find a sound that you are. More time is spent experimenting with set-up, minus the fear of doing something "wrong" is. There is no wrong note. If you know any drummers tune you learn to ask, you will probably have a slightly different answer from everyone.
The sound of your battery depends on three things:
1 Choice of heads
2 Damping
3.Tuning.
CHOICEHEADS
This is the basis for the subsequent development of the drums and the creation of "sound". There are many options available, but the main types of heads are:
Heads clear - clear heads are known for their lightness is known in the mood, and bright, open resonance, with plenty of attack. These heads are used by many manufacturers as the standard for drum toms and bass drums.
Batter heads are on the top of the battery (the side you hit with the stick) and used
Heads are responsible for the resonatorBottom of the drum.
Skins are basically available in three thicknesses: thin, medium and thick. Years ago this was Remus thickness names: Diplomat, Ambassador and Emperor. These names are so well known that if you save a drum, and wonders, for example, an ambassador-weight of the head, you will receive an average thickness of the head, get no matter which brand you choose.
This choice is pretty safe if you just starting out would be clear weight of the head for bass drum and the AmbassadorTom. You can adjust the weight and more about what you want to learn.
Coated heads - these are the heads that have a white coating. They are (in my opinion) best used only for the snare drum batter heads. Snare heads are much thinner and are used on the bottom of the snare.
Hydraulic heads - these are two heads layers (two layers) and have a thin layer of oil between the layers. This first became popular in the '70s and used as batter heads. They are strongand adjust quickly and easily. They have less "ring" and a sort of warm mellow sound.
There are also black dot heads who have a polyester laminate at the center of the head for stability and cushioning. Personally I think these heads a little 'too much "dead". It 's much easier to muffle a drum like the life of a dead, flat sound to add. this is just my opinion. There are many opinions on the choice of heads, because they are tuning drums.
There are so many ways - as? Decide My advice is to stick with the basics and then, if you have a particular sound in mind, try different chapters to get that sound.
Damping
Although much of the unwanted harmonic sounds (called) through appropriate methods of tuning drums can be controlled, there are situations that need a little extra to be treated.
If you live in a situation and have no other resources, you can put the good old tape to get rid of a slight sharp ring. You must move theBanda at various points on the head until the source of the ring, and may need to use more than one piece. Insert the tape so it does not interfere with the playing surface is not the head. Make sure that some "handles" to bequeath to the ends of pieces of tape so you do not have to scrape the head later.
For an aesthetic and effective solution for most of the time, you can create a donut for a head of old. Find an old head of the same diameter as the head of steam you need.Cut along the edge to remove only the edge, but leaves the flat edge. Now cut a smaller circle inside the piece. The cake should be about 3 / 4 "wide by 1". On the top of the drum upside down. If the donut is flying at inopportune moments, the door on the head with small pieces of tape on the rim.
Or you can buy a commercial version as "REMOS". These versions are great homemade donuts. Are now available in some varieties. Select thosewith the size of your battery. There are also built with skins rings.
By the way, how do you measure the battery? Measure from the outer edge of the outer shell toward the opposite edge (diameter). Do not include the metal ring. The heads are measured in inches, so if you come up with something in between, you probably need to measure again.
Your bass drum, by "topping up" with a soft, sound-absorbing materials, such as blankets or pillows are softened. Just be careful not to stunthe sound of too much crowding. Or you can cut a hole in the head backwards. The problem is that it is difficult to experiment with the size of the hole. You need a lot of heads down trees!
Of course there are those who say that the battery should never be subdued. Some things you just have to decide on his own experience.
