Tom Muffling Techniques
If you ever wondered how to muffle a drum (or how to dampen a drum) this video is for you. I’ll show you the five most useful muffling techniques that allow you to not only get rid of unwanted overtones but also how to focus the attack and control the sustain of a drum.
From very minimal noisegate-like muffling with a cymbal felt to completely dead sounds by covering your drumhead with a kitchen towel. I’ll also show you my favorite muffling hack that will allow you to change the sustain of a drum in 2 seconds without sacrificing too much sound.

Floortom Hacks
Переглядів 1,1 тис.3 роки тому
This video is about Floortom Hacks. More specifically it’s about manipulating the sustain of your floortom without any tuning or muffling.

However, this stuff includes taking of a drumhead...

Переглядів 4,8 тис.3 роки тому
This video is about three of the most amazing drum tuning tips EVER. The hardest part about tuning drums is definitely evening out the pitches of a drumhead and this is exactly what the first drum tuning tip is all about.
