Balanced Drumhead Concept: Thicker Heads for Larger Toms | Season Two, Episode 21

It’s not surprising that the “best” head for a 10” tom might not be the “best” for a 16” tom. This week, discuss an approach of using graduated thicknesses of drumheads across a set of toms in order to provide a balanced feel & response while improving projection and overall quality of tone.
