In this sound comparison we set out to discover the exact sound difference the resonant head tuning makes to the overall kick sound! For this test we will be using a low tuned batter head with minimal dampening alongside a range of 3 resonant head tunings.
In the name of fair comparison, all tuning ranges will be played with bouncing the beater, as well as burying it.
