my favorite is definitely the no muffling on both heads (wide open), but I'd like the idea of playing with different types of muffling to suit a song or a type of context
I’ve really only muffled the batter head, usually with a small towel down by the bass drum. That seems to be how most of the guys in New York like to do it. Have definitely played some wide open drums too at gigs or rehearsals, always an interesting time sonically/really requires the drum to be in tune and not super versatile if you’re going to play any type of back beat stuff.
The nuances of tuning and recording the Jazz bass drum sound and jazz drums in general is one of the most under-discussed drum topics on YT. Keep making these videos! One of my favorite channels. You are great to listen to. How to you like the AKG D-12VR? You run it flat with no phantom power eq curve most of the time? I have been using a 52a, but don’t love it. Cheers!
Thank you for the warm words!! I didn’t turn the phantom power on. I like it so far, it’s just that it is harder to push than other dynamic mics. Meaning I need to turn more gain on my interface in order to get the same level. It definitely has more low end. But I do think it’s a bit overpriced. I used to use beta 58a and I love it.

Totally man, if my band doesn’t judge me for a wide open sound, I’ll use wide open all day everyday.
I like it wide open. No muffling. But then again , every room is different so occasionally there is a need to muffle
You are right 👍🏽

cool
Drake, who built your drums?
Cadeson
What is your main ride? It sounds amazing.
I love watching how your right stick moves from that camera angle.
I know he uses an Istanbul Agop tradition jazz ride.
I use Bourgis HFB ride 21”. And Sabian Elite 20”
@@mattnieri1202 thanks bro!

Great video! What kind of head and beater are being used on the bass drum? Thanks.
