Will this compensate for placing a towel in the bass drum?

[bobgatzen]

@Emresaurus If you're referring to the 'EQ Pad"....yes the EQ pad is far better than a towel. The pad can easily be adjusted in regards to how much pressure is applied to the head. Also, (2) EQ pads allow full control of the batter and reso heads. Hope this helps

[Emresaurus]

@bobgatzen yea thanks.. will definitely set out to get one.

[bobgatzen]

@Emresaurus You won't regret it E!

im confused you said that angleing the bass drums bad ...but yours in angled alot

[bobgatzen]

@mikelmsn21 In this video the kit is mounted on a "Drumframe". The DF suspends the BD allowing it to vibrate freely compared to the traditional floor positiong. You can check the DF @ drumframe com

Bob Gatzen, you are the man. I always learn new things from these.

[bobgatzen]

@Druman19 Thanks so much!! Bob

Did anybody else notice how slowly and hilariously Bob put his arms down at 2:13? Oh man, I love you Bob Gatzen.

@mikelmsn21 One of my studio kits is mounted on a "DrumFrame". The DF tilts the entire kit backwards to alleviate back pain and freer movement in the arms & legs. You can check out the Frame @ drumframe com

how come cymbal companies stop making really good cymbal lines..? =( 

[DaveRIClark]

Bob, thanks for that and all the other vids. You give so much back and I love the way you go to all the bother of setting up demonstrations of what you are talking about. I have so many things in life keeping me busy these days (job, kids etc) I hardly ever think about my kit. Every so often I pop by here, watch something and think wow - I got to try that! It's a little bit like being 18 again when everything was new and exciting. Cheers from Wales.
