DW Gong Drum

[cnote05]

why no clear emp?

[bjdavis1000]

i prefer power stroke 3 because it doesn't ring that much.

[thomaslejon]

If you like the powerstroke , buy a second bass drum! lol..

[mrssehrgeil]

i like powerstroke;)

[gruzina]

the ambassador is a little bit ttoo loose

the power stroke is the best for me so tight with punch !

[Antoffka]

with PSIII sounds like a regular kick drum )

[JustJoshinYou12]

Hey Will

I love the sound of your snare, how did you get it to sound that deep? For head selection i would go with the Samsung, i liked the way that head sounded a lot better plus that head will allow you to view movies while you drum. I think your idea for a time traveling drum stick is amazing..the fact that i could go back in time right before that freeze up or when i hit the rim during the fill. keep the videos coming Will!

[erikimba]

the ambassador for open explosive sound, power stroke 3 not for gong but for bass drum, dw coated clear fail cause that ding high tone for a big fat drume, pinstripe for 2nd alternative sound floor tom of 16 or 18 inches

[Khironification]

Powerstroke 3 by far.

[NolikargAven]

the dudes got a freakin saw cymbal right above the gong,just look in the drumhead

[clance13]

Dw head

[RadioJack]

Pinstripe FTW. Ambassador is a close second. PS3 is 3rd.

[zoner12311]

he should try a black suede head

[jake61072]

powerstroke III makes a good bass drum

[jake61072]

powerstroke III

[Howardsternswife]

i thought pinstripe

[dangerrat456]

where did u get the gong drum???

[piyurx78]

Remo Pinstripes are the best !! \m/ it sounds fat and the low fundamental tone is so defined ....

[berlymahn]

Will - This is probably one of THE BEST (most useful) videos I have seen in the drumming world. Headed today to buy a 22" bass drum and convert it to a Gong Drum. Was curious as to what head to use! Got my answer. Thanks BRO! Beer's on me if you are in the D.C. area! Jim

[robbelliii]

@berlymahn I like the penstripe, how about you Jim?

[JCustomZ]

Ambassodors

[muziquero28]

Pinstripe!.. But i know, you can buy 4 DW Gong drums and put these different heads and put it in one kit so that you dont have to choose.. Youre a rich guy!.. :) ..

[clearangel1]

definitely the pinstripe! :)

[Sabiano]

Pinstripe for SURE!

ambassador



[TheFernandoMusic]

Nice Powerstroke3!

[KisekiTim]

I have been searching forever for a decent video to test out my audio system. This one does a great job in allowing me to adjust my woofer. THANKS

[JenJennetik]

try some Ebonys and Onyx's

[drex48239]

is the gong drum just a bass drum without legs

[JasonDTube]

@drex48239 It is, except the head is slightly bigger than the shell, and there's no resonant head.

[drex48239]

cool thanks, is the head 28' and the shell 26'

[JasonDTube]

@drex48239 It depends. In this video, the shell is 21", the head is 22".

[inuyashaspet]

I need to get some head myself.

[drumsanddrumming]

Lol.

[TheDigitalMafia]

the Pinstripe sounds the Best. Hey Will Love your Videos.. dont know who the heck you are.. but your awesome man. lol

[SimonBak90]

The Ambassador, no doubt.

[princeofpersia4life]

@SimonBak90 i agree. the ambassador give that low earthy, africanish sound that i would use for heavy wannabe war music or something like king kong

[tomtom1484]

@SimonBak90 The Ambassador is also my favorite. In fact, after listening to Simon Phillips, for a while, I've been experimenting with them on all my drums. I used to be an Emporer fan. A gong drum is designed to resonate and any other head just defeats the purpose. Just one mans opinion:)

[mrskull94]

Do you just have all those heads ''laying around''? :P
