  • "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."

  • if your a newb drummer, dont listen to idiotvillage. become enlightened by Evans drumheads sponsored BOB GATZEN. Just search for his tuning videos here.

  • yeah you're right, I can hear that watery bass drum sound through that digital camera microphone

  • @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.

  • someone should muffle all these tuning experts !!

  • forum series?

  • The expert village must be crumbling and falling apart. Wow, the villages auto mechanic guys screw up everyones cars. The hunting dudes starve everyone and the music experts drive the villagers to violence thru horrific tunes. If you somehow found the mythical "expert village", it would look like the last 40 minutes of "Titanic". People running aimlessly while everything blows apart.

  • FUCK expertvillage

  • @fillecool2 you can have the beaters on the plastic side if you want. (DUH)

  • i was looking for a joke, and i found :)
