    YEEEES SIR !!!! Mr. J- rod not sure if my question has been asked before ( new subscriber here ) . When you tune yours toms, is the top heads tuned high and bottom low or are the equally balanced ? I have been off the throne for a few years and now back on the seat so looking for the tones you have achieved. Thank you for your information.

  • @sr4pix
    @sr4pix 2 года назад

    Thanks for this bro…. What would you consider too many drumdots? Just curious as to why you would use the towel method vs adding more dots.

    • @JRODSULLIVAN
      @JRODSULLIVAN  2 года назад +1

      I add as many drumdots as needed to get the sound I’m looking for. If the drumdot doesn’t enhance the sound of a particular drum, I remove it (which is why I removed it from my 8in tom in this video).
      As far as the towel method, the long sustain is coming from the resonant head, not the batter head. I use this method on the resonant head because when I add Drumdots on the bottom (outside the drum) they tend to fall off if they have any debris on them. I only do this for my floor toms. I rarely have this issue with my rack toms because I want them to sustain a bit longer anyway.
      The other solution would be to put the drumdots inside the drum on the resonant head. However, if I already have the tones I want from the drum and I don’t have much time to remove the heads and re-tune them, I use the towel method. That is why I use the towel most of the time. It’s more convenient for me and does the job.

  • @Musicman-wr7py
    @Musicman-wr7py 2 года назад

    What’s good bro, the drums were my intro into the music world, im a multi instrumentalist like yourself. I’ve been in a lot of dampening situations. My question is, in your opinion which gets the job done in a better way? Drum dots or moon gel?

    • @JRODSULLIVAN
      @JRODSULLIVAN  2 года назад +3

      I think they both work equally well. However, I like Drumdots the most because they work well as new after washing them with soap and water. They also don’t melt.

  • @princechidozie4643
    @princechidozie4643 2 года назад

    I love your videos bro... Big fan but in a case where I don't have the drum damper, and I definitely can't hang towels all around my toms, is it aright to cut out that exact size from a gaff tape and use? Or what do you suggest?

    • @JRODSULLIVAN
      @JRODSULLIVAN  2 года назад

      Yes Gaff tape will work 👍🏽 Also, I only use the towel method for my floor toms.

    @GusOnDrums 2 года назад +1

    Great video! Would it be safe to say that one's top or bottom head should have low sustain to avoid using drum dampeners? Your drums always sound great with or without dampening. Much Love sir.

    • @JRODSULLIVAN
      @JRODSULLIVAN  2 года назад +2

      Thanks! Not necessarily. You have sustain and natural overtones from the drum. Both are reasons for me to use dampening if either are distracting in the mix. It depends on the situation. You may not need dampening for a particular song (when recording) or live gig. I only use it when a drums tone needs to be controlled/focused. Make sure your drums sound great raw first (tone wise) then use dampening if needed to control long sustain or natural overtones. That’s my process.

      @@andrewchaney242 For the reso head, I turn each lug approximately two full turns before making sure each lug is in relative pitch with each other. For the batter head, about the same (more or less). However, try not to focus too much on how tight each head is. Focus more on the sound. Depending on the tones you’re going for, this could change.
