@fillecool2 I agree that this is not the best tutorial. However, those bass drum beaters can be used with the felt side striking the head ..... OR the plastic side striking the head for a more impact sound. They're not in the wrong direction, it's a matter of preference.
sorry i think you got it all wrong,its simple just get a super kick 2 and a kick pad patch and do not put nothing in the drum,maybe a little muff on the front head to control the punch of the drum.
My god, dude, learn how to tune your drum. If you do that, you won't need to put anything in and it will sound beautiful. Oh and also turn your pedals around. That will drastically change the sound of the drum and make it sound better. Come on, man!
Hell if he's an expert than what am I because he's just making shit up to look cool but he's dead wrong. Putting a sticker does not change anything. Putting a PAD is a whole different story. Goober
@KDWorldBrickPix first off, the word is beaters, and no they are not backwards alot of beaters now are double sided, plastic and felt, and alot of drummers use the plastic side for more attack, and the felt has less attack
Instead of sending your time CRITICIZING the guy on this video, since you critics out there are SOOOOOO F**KING AWESOME, why in the bloody hell don't YOU make a video a post it? For starters, the kid can't be but 15 years old... don't you people have a soul?
Man, some of the people that comment on here are totally relentless... as if YOU weren't completely clueless about drums at some point. Nobody is born knowing how to play an instrument people, and instead of bashing someone for what seems to you like a stupid question, you should be helpful and share your knowledge without making people feel awkward. What ever happened to motivating fellow musicians? And don't rag on this kid in the video. At least he's trying to help others. Geez.
instead of filling the drum entirely with pillows, you might as well try sand bags or better yet, cement. surely it'll improve the sound of your kick, lol.

"Crackng within the bass drum"????? I dont know about other people but i dont think ive ever cracked a bass drum before. I must be such an 'expert' if my bass drum has cracked!!!
Your a total douche bag and I hope you remember what it was like when you were learning how to play. Your a piece of crap for talking smack about someone who's just trying to help other beginners, even if he doesn't know much himself, at least he's trying to make a difference. People like YOU shouldn't have mouths, because they only spit out venom at helpless people. Your a sack of crap dude.
@TheDanoDude buy a drum key (same thing you use for tuning and there only like 5 bucks) remove the head with the key and put the pillow in. And screw it back on
no a pillow chokes the drum and makes it sound bad and metal in the drum head does not make it sound good..it takes 4 things 1.type of beater 2.type of head 3.tuning and 4. muffling
wow. that sounded like sht... lol metal plates?... this guy is clueless... wow. anywho i tune my bass with the batter head tighter than the other head. opinions??
All the idiots talking shit need to shut the hell up. It's annoying. Everyone likes their own sound. If you like this video then go on and use it. If not, then don't. Plain and simple.
Dude... Expertvillage seriously needs to stick to the experts. This young man here is an idiot. I don't claim to be an expert drummer, because I'm a total noob (the reason I clicked the vid in the first place >_>). But I wouldn't try to teach anybody anything unless I like, ya know, didn't suck.
Dear Expert Village, I highly suggest you change your name because you, my feeble-minded friend, are NOT an expert. In fact, this is really terrible youtube instruction. Who is this kid you've got here? He does NOT sound like he knows what he's talking about. He sounds like you gave him a 5 minute explanation as to what he needs to talk about and he made up the other half, trying to sound smart. Get better instructors, or get the fuck off of Youtube.
this guy has no idea about what hes talking about you dont need muffling for drums you just need to have good drum heads and tune properly and your drums will sound fine .
@kkirstian damn right for longest time I had pillows in my bass drum because I never wnated to tune it just last week I took them out and decided to sit down and learn to tune the damn thing and it sounds great better than it ever did with pillows i, doesn't even ring out like people told me it would.
@spiraleontas They have two sides. The felt side, and the opposite side, which is plastic. And just for your information, they're called beaters, not punchers.
putting metal in the "sticker" .... its a pad you moron, doesn't give it a more T T T sound, if you want a more metal sound then its all in the skin you choose and the tuning, WOW
@ben13drummer A wet sound? That makes almost no sense. If you want a wet sound, then jump into a swimming pool, LOL. I don't quite think your reply was relevant to the persons question, but yes, I suppose you are correct, sorry for my silly joke.
@SlayingMinion Nope, it is up to the possessor of the beater that decides what side they want to kick on; there is no right or wrong way. If it was made to be used on only one side, then they would have made it only one material, but they made it have two different sides so it would be your choice.
@thesaxophonedude lol no its prefrence some people like the felt side of beaters and some like the snap of the rubber side and like he said he likes the metal snap so yea but that bass drum sounds ugly lol
@thesaxophonedude No they aren't, dumb dumb. Those batters are made for you to choose which side you want to use. Some people have it on the felt side, some have it on the plastic side. Plastic = hard rock and metal, felt = classic rock, jazz and blues.
@thesaxophonedude There is no backwards. You can turn them anyway they want. It is made for the plastic side and felt side. Almost everyone I see with those kind og batters have them on the plastic side.
@thesaxophonedude No sir, you are a "freaking idiot" because you still cannot grasp the fact that you ran your mouth against someone more experienced than you.
@thesaxophonedude No sir, YOU are one considering you think when you buy a beater, you have no choice but to turn it on the felt, rich part, when most people prefer the plastic sound (including me) much better and they purchased the beater. Also consider how many people do what this guy does. He is an idiot, sucks at teaching and has a crappy sounding bass drum, but I had to stop ya there.
@nbryc...ok so go home if u have 1... go turn your beter around... n gve us a video of it... n if u rely so good n know everything why not show us all...so u feel cool now for calling me a jackass...! I dont go down to ur level of ppl.. sorry..! oh n go read down I said ppl like me try to learn n might be taught wrong.. meaning still learning these things.. only red the 1st line.. so shows u.. u cant finish what u start.. if u cant even succeed in reading 5lines how u gna succeed in life..!!
its not his tuning that sounds bad... his beater on the peddle is the wrong way around... the white side sup 2 be infront... so guy... jst turn them around..bet it will sound alot better..!! ppl wane comment instead of finding the problem..! but if u wane do something lyk this.. make sure ur ryt... coz ppl lyk me that try to learn might jst be laughed at if taught wrong..!
@Cjthemetalangel No jackass, those are DW beaters. They can be used on either side. The reason this dude's bass drum sounds so bad is because he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing, like all expertvillage videos.
@iamthewalrus3654 Wake up fuckface. The videos put up by expertvillage are well known for being completely useless. One only needs to watch a few to figure that out. Now quit trying to be an internet hero you fuckin' douche.
holy fuck... ive been playing drums for like 4 months and i dont know shit about tuning drums... and my bass drum sounds better than that. a LOT better. your trying too hard.
wow..tuning a bass drum has got to be the easiest thing in the world and could have been explained in 3 seconds....what a moron. You could use a pillow, the size varies on what kind of sound you like. Cut a port hole in the front of the head for miking and it also carries the sound so your bass sounds as loud as the rest of your kit from the outside...Muffler rings are good, also do a great job. Companies also make "half pillow" that mounts inside the bass drum. Also very effective..
huh? If what your saying is true what's the front head for? how would stuffing it full of blankets let any sound out if your playing it acoustically? Duh! Bass drum tuning is sooooo simple!
@TheDrummingMexican96 emads don't suck there really good. but they might suck for your bass drum. because not all drum heads are going to sound good on every drum kit. plus do you know how popular emads are? a lot of professionals use them
@drummer4life54 dont get me wrong dude, they sound amazing ! i know, but the eternal muffle ring rips super easy, and yeah lots of pros use them because yeah they sound good, but they can also aford to replace it whenever it breaks/rips. they are expensive heads
"hello im from expert village u kno wat u need a watery sound ", u dumbfuck u need a dry sound and wat the fuck how are u a drum instructor a cardboard box filled with blankets god dude did he get this advice from drums for dummies
wow thats horrible tuning.. i have the same head on my seat and it sounds so much better... dont teach tuning to other ppl please. everyone watch the bob gatson or gatzon vids.. im not sure how u spell his last name but hes amazing at tuning
doesn't he know that pillows are for sleeping? here's an idea. take the pillow out of your drum, get a remo falam slam patch, loosen up your batter head to little or no tension, and tune the resonant head to a medium tension. then play! it takes some getting used to, but its louder, punchy, and you actually get a tone out of it. (works well with emad2, eq 4, or powerstroke 3.)
man please just try to turn the beater from the soft side and take off the pillow it screws the emad's aim which is to muffle the bass without having anything in it but if u still want to have something on it take a soundproofing (i dont know how it is called)thing and put it in the drum but at the edges i mean like it is circled to take the shape of the bass drum jesus man..... and see the description it says :jake jorgeson bio:jake jorgesEn.....
WTF!? You have an Evans EMAD! You do not need that pillow in the bass drum! All you need is something big enough on the front bass head to reduce the rattle and controle the overtones. I swear these people from expert village are not very bright... -_-
if the bass drum was tuned a little better and the blanket or pillow was not filling the whole bass drum... then that would get the good sound of the bass drum.
this video sucks but to answer your question the neaters are on backwards because some drummers believe it adds more of a punch to the sound since it is on the plastic side
"you know, try to make it sound high prized and good, like this, DUNNG DUNG PFFT PFFT PFTFTFTFYYYFPFT. It just gives it a really water like sound."

wow..tuning a bass drum has got to be the easiest thing in the world and could have been explained in 3 seconds....what a moron. You could use a pillow, the size varies on what kind of sound you like. Cut a port hole in the front of the head for miking and it also carries the sound so your bass sounds as loud as the rest of your kit from the outside...Muffler rings are good, also do a great job. Companies also make "half pillow" that mounts inside the bass drum. Also very effective..

WHY WONT YOU JUST TAKE THAT EMAD OFF ...AND PUT A CARDBOARD BOX ON IT :)

huh? If what your saying is true what's the front head for? how would stuffing it full of blankets let any sound out if your playing it acoustically? Duh! Bass drum tuning is sooooo simple!

TheDrummingMexican96 1 year ago
@TheDrummingMexican96 emads don't suck there really good. but they might suck for your bass drum. because not all drum heads are going to sound good on every drum kit. plus do you know how popular emads are? a lot of professionals use them

@drummer4life54 dont get me wrong dude, they sound amazing ! i know, but the eternal muffle ring rips super easy, and yeah lots of pros use them because yeah they sound good, but they can also aford to replace it whenever it breaks/rips. they are expensive heads

bbyrne16 1 year ago
doesn't he know that pillows are for sleeping? here's an idea. take the pillow out of your drum, get a remo falam slam patch, loosen up your batter head to little or no tension, and tune the resonant head to a medium tension. then play! it takes some getting used to, but its louder, punchy, and you actually get a tone out of it. (works well with emad2, eq 4, or powerstroke 3.)

ramonbunny69 1 year ago
WTF!? You have an Evans EMAD! You do not need that pillow in the bass drum! All you need is something big enough on the front bass head to reduce the rattle and controle the overtones. I swear these people from expert village are not very bright... -_-
TheRevJr1 1 year ago
wanna know another cool sound for a clicky sounding bass drum? Turn the beaters to the side towhere the plastic side is hitting the bass drum.
mairava1996 1 year ago
if the bass drum was tuned a little better and the blanket or pillow was not filling the whole bass drum... then that would get the good sound of the bass drum.

Get that pillow out, it's a bass drum not a washing machine.

How does the pillow distort "the sound waves going through"? . Fucking retard. A pillow is meant to reduce overtones.

Why don't you get a cardboard box and fill it full of blankets? This is the worst sounding bass drum I've ever heard...ever. Terrible video.
zambizzi 2 years ago 44
this video sucks but to answer your question the neaters are on backwards because some drummers believe it adds more of a punch to the sound since it is on the plastic side

Why the hell are your beaters backwards?
divingerik 2 years ago
I do exactly the same, Plastic side gives your kick a harder attack, rather than the softer felt.
