Drum Demo: Tone Modifier Roundup For Snare Drums & More

Get Your Free DRUM! Mag Pack ► pro.drummagazine.com/free-dru... Never before have there been so many different drum muffle-[the entire internet condescendingly sucks air through teeth] “Oooh, actually, we try not to call them mufflers anymore. Do you mean tone modifiers?”
Alright, fair enough. Never before have there been so many different, ahem, tone modifiers, available for the drum set. Between the growing need to replicate sampled sounds, a resurgence of percussionists pushing sonic boundaries, and increasing access to boutique products, we are truly in the midst of a sound-shaping boom-a very controlled boom, that is, without excess overtones.
With that in mind, we rounded up a selection of nearly 30 tone-modifying goodies and put ’em through the ringer to help you determine where to best invest your accessory budget. In this article, we focus mostly on products released in the last few years, and we limited our scope to snare drum and tom applications (though many of these products can be used on cymbals and other instruments as well.)

Thank you! In this video, I'm using a 22" Dream Bliss ride and 16" Zildjian Avedis hi-hats.

What happen with the "low" tom floor...?

Sounds very dead to me.
